TEACHES BIBLE CLASS
IN THE PENITENTIARY WHILE
SERVING A SENTENCE.
The Good Mrs. Fanney Carson is
Doing Among the Prisoners in
States Penitentiray.

A most interesting and remarkable
case In many respects Is that OF Mrs
Fanny Carson, the Spartanburs
woman who has spent Is years CT a
life sentence in the penitentiary for
the murder with her paramour, Of
her husband, whose throat was cut
with razor in most revolving cir
cumstances, and whose petition fo-
pardon Is now being renewed after
being refused by three governors who
had strong counter petitions before
them asking that Mrs. Carson be mol
pardoned.
The Columbia Record says her
lawyers have spent much of MIS-
Carson's memory In a Is years losing
fight to secure her pardon, bur
it now locks as If her own conduct
may succeed In a short time in free
ing her from prison. The zeal she
is displaying in her Bible class work
at the penitentiary has favorably I'M
pressed a number of influential peo
Pile, and her petition for pardon
will come this time the best fortified
since her lawyers have been knocking
| at the governors door in the IL
years.
Mrs. Carsons case recalls two
strikingly similar cases OF pardon
occurring in recent years One was
| that of Ezelle Thackston Of Green
Vile, who killed a negro girl he
had been living with at her own
home after he had killed promi-
nent white man, also in the red light
district. Thackston was pardone ;
after a short service. He also dis
played great zeal in religious MAJ
ters at the penitnntiary. Still an
other case was that Of young Hoyt
Hayes, the Oconae man convicted OF
the murder Of his wife, who was
pardoned principally OF the report
of the handwriting expert, CarVallo
Of New York. the case hanging on
the authenticity Of a note alleged
to have been signed by Hayes wife
saving she was going to commit sui
eide. He was q great Sunday school
worker before the death of his wife.
His zeal along this line merely in
creased after he came to the peni-
tentiary.
A few days ago, The Journal, the
evening newspaper III Mrs. Carsons
county, published strong editorial
advocating Mrs. Carson's pardon
The latest in Mrs Carson's favor Is
strong letter to Governor Ansel
from the Rev. DR.. John o. Wilson
one of the oldest and most influential
members of the South Carolina con-
ference, former editor Of The Chris
tian Advocate and now president OF
Lander college. DR.. Wilson'S. let
ter follows:
Dear Governor: 7 see that the
case of Mrs. Carson is before you

with the petitioners. When in Co

ton of the chaplain, and ! met AMI
