Has Faith That the Governor VIII
 Commute Sentence

l Has Faith That the Governor Will Commute Sentence.
 I Birmingham. July 25.-(Special)- An affecting scene took place at the County jail here today when Frank Williams, son of John Williams, the Cullman County farmer who is under sentence to be hanged Friday for the murder of State Senator Hipp. called
 and was permitted to see his father.
 The elder Williams stuck his fingers
 through the bars of the cell to his son
 to shake hands with him. For several minutes neither were able to speak.
 How are you. my boy?" asked the old man. Father" replied the boy as he kept down his tears for few seconds.
 The two then engaged in converse ton for few minutes, the son telling his parent what was being done to have the Pardoning Board and the Governor
 commute the sentence. The father lis- tened attentively to all the son had to tell.
 There is still hope in the breast of
 the old man that the chief executive of the State will change the sentence. According to the arrangements an- nounced at the County jail. the Sheriff of Cullman County will leave here Fri day morning on the northbound Louis- ville and Nashville railroad accommo- dalton train fer Cullman where the ex-
 ecution is to take place between 10 and 2 o'clock. If the Governor commutes
 the sentence, the condemned man will
 remain in Birmingham until turned over to the lessors of convicts. In leaving the County Jail today the son said that until the very last hope would be maintained looking for a commuta- tion of sentence.

 The foreman of the grand jury sta- ted to the court that Mir Foster had declined to produce before the grand jury certain books and documents de- manded of him. Mir. Foster said that he had not refused to produce the data He said that he had not the physical possession Of all books and papers In question, except as general auditor of the corporation

He could only temporarily produce the books and papers, he contended and would do so providing he was assured that they would be given back to him at the end of the day's session; that he might return them to the officials who had their proper custody
 Judge Hough gave Mir. Foster until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to comply with the grand jury's in- structions. Unless the papers are forthcoming the judge informed MT. Foster that he would consider an ap- plication to punish him both as a re- calitrant witness and for contempt of court
