Not only did he kill another white man in Conecuh County but white woman also, the one his good wife. the other his old helpless fath- er-in-iAw.
 We have no right to question the action of this Commission who has pronounced Jack Thompson insane, nor do we question 1t, for the infamous act which Jack Thompson committed when he picked up his double-barrel- ed shotgun, discharging one barrel into his good wife. and emptying the other Into his poor old helpless father in-isw, is enough to dethrone most

Seventy-hve per cent of the people of Conecuh County agree with us when we say: If Jack Thompson. when he was tried for this wicked act of his, had received justice. he would have certainly been hanged, for he commit ted one of the most heinous crimes when he killed his innocent wife and old helpless father-in-law, the first as true and faithful a woman as ever lived: the second a peaceful. law-abid, ing, old Confederate soldier, esteemed and beloved by all that knew him, that ever happened in the history of Co., necuh County.
 we cannot foretell what will be the final result of the paroling of Jack Thompson into the custody of the In- sane Asylum of Tuscaloosa, but we. together with 90 per cent. of the peo- pie of Conecuh County do hope and trust, that Jack Thompson will never again be a free man. but will have to remain in prison and be punished for the wicked crime that he has con' mitted.
