Il threw all the eggs" is the state
ment made by Thomas Lewis of Law
renee county in petition to Governor
Pindall to have pardoned George w.
Slayton of the same county, who was
convicted at the October term, 1907,
Of the Lawrence County Circuit Court
Of disturbing religious service by
throwing eggs into the house where
the meeting was in progress. The self
confession, however, failed to produce
results, for the governor refused the
pardon on the ground that, although
Lewis confessed to the crime and vim
dictated Slayton, he had not been
brought before a court and no legal
action had been taken in the matter.
II Slayton should be released no one
would be punished for the crime.
