LIFE IMPRISONMENT
JIM PARRIsH's SENTENCE Is COM.
MUTED.
Governor Conner Extends Clemency t.
Man who Twice Escaped From
jail while Under Death
Sentence.

1t became known yesterday not
through the channels of the Governors
ONCE, that Governor Conner has inter-
fered In the case OF Jim Parrish, the
eel-like negro OF Morgan county who
was to have been hanged at Decatur
last Friday after two escapes from
custody, and committed his death sem
tence to life Imprisonment In the PEN
itentiary. This Is an extension Of his
clemency considerably as at first his
decree only gave the condemned negro
a respite Of seven days But there
were many friends of the Governor to
bring pressure against the execution of
the death sentence, and he yielded
thereto in preference to as strong in
sistence from the prosecuting officer in
the case that the negro was guilty as
found by the jury.
Parrish, 1t will be recalled made his
second dash for liberty about the same
time that the Governor drew his pen
across the order for his seven days
respite.
Another act Of ciemency which the
Governor announced regularly yester-
day was the looping off OF four days
from the sentence of Sam Boswell who
was sent to the penitentfary from Bull
lock county for three years at the
spring term, 1907. court OF that county
The clemency was for the purpose OF
allowing Boswell to go Immediately to
the bedside of his mother who is said
to be on the verge of dying and cries
Historically for her son.
Boswell only had four more days to
serve in the walls, and as he made
model prisoner the Governor saw nc
reason why he should not extend mer-
cy In such an extre>ne case.
