DOUBLE HANGING
SEPTEMBER SECOND

The announcement that Sept.
2 has been fixed as the date for
the execution of Oscar Pullem,
the murderer of D. L. DeLoney
in Little Ri yer county, recalls the
fact t at Harry Poe, who is in
the penitentiary here for safe
keeping. will be hanged on the
same date, September 2. Poe
will be hanged at Hot Springs,
as his crime was committed in
Garland county.
Under the circumstances there
appears to be little chance for a
postponement or change in either
case. Poe who is under sentence
for criminally assaulting a white
school girl at Hot Springs, had
tried all the avenues of clemen-
cy, including the Supreme Court
and the Governor, without avail,
stay of execution having been
temporarily granted by Cover
nor Donaghey until he could sat-
isfy himself as to the business of
the sentence. After reaching
the conclusion that The sentence
should stand, he fixed the above
date for the execution of the
young negro.
