Otis Taylor ReSDlted.

Governor swanson has re,pited OTIS
Taylor, under sentence Of death,
changing the date of execution from
January 3rd to February 9Th. Sheriff
Dickinson has been officially notified
TO this effect, and consequently no
preparations have been made for the
hanging.
I'm the meantime several petitions
have gone TO the Governor asking for
a Communication to life imprisonment.
The request for communication is based
mainly upon the negro's alleged pre-
yious good character and his youth
fulness. The respite granted by the
Governor was evidently made inorder
to allow time for proper consideration
of the petltiOns for communications.
