His second son. born in 178O. entered the British army in 1798 served with credit in many parts of the world and three years before his death in 1854 was made a lieutenant generaI.-H Housqhnld Comnanion.

The people Of Florida, and more es.
pecially the people Of Leon county, are
to be congratulated on having for Gov
ernor and Attorney-General such men
as Albert w. GIlehrist and Bark M.
Trammell, men who have not only the
wisdom to decide what is right, but also
the frmness TO carry Il through.
The case Of George Caldwell has been
Of deep interest 20 the citizens Of this
county, the crime Of which he was con-
victed Is still fresh in the minds Of our
people. As Dir. N w. Eppea was re-
turning home from Tallahassee George
Caldwell. with two other negroes, way.
laid and murdered him. Dir. Eppea was
one of Icons most prominent citizens,
and greatly beloved by many Of his
cOuntrymen Indignation was az white
heat and lynching was threatened, but
AZ Judge MalOne's earnest request the
law was allowed 10 take itS course and
Caldwell and his aecompiices were con-
vieted by the jury and sentenced by
Judge Malone % be hanged. Nat X.
Walker, attorney for Caldwell, appealed
20 the Supreme Court on the plea that
the evidence was insufficient. The
Supreme Court, after q careful review
Of the evidence. affirmed the decision Of
the lower court,
The Pardoning Board was next APP
pealed 10. Walker and his helpers tried
10 prove an alibi, but evidence In rebuff
tai proved Il faiee, the Board refused
the petition and Governor BroRard
signed the death warrant
Two days before the day appointed
for the execution GOvernor BrOward re-
proved these murdererh and again the
case came before the Pardoping Board.
Strong pressure OF some sort was
brought % bear on that Board and the
death sentence was committed 20 inn
pfis0nment for hfe.
For a year past Caldwell has been
trying 90 get PARDON although every
attempt 10 investigate the case has re-
suited Ia strengthening the evidence OF
bis guilt
This setion on tie part Of Governor
GilchFist and bis able adviser, Attorney.
General Park NJ. Trammell, and the
other members Of the PardOnIng Board.
viii probably end all further effort %
free George Caldwell, and will 70 far
