even believe that he has that ap-
prevail in his remarkable action just
taken in granting a Teprieve for
thirty days to the convicted negro
rape fiend In Jacksonville, sentenced
to be hung today. But in the name
of justice, decency and civilization,
what reason was there for the re-
prieve? The people of Florida are
entitled to know, for In this matter
of criminal assault upon the white
women of the State by negro brutes,
they are sensitive beyond adequate
