CONTINUATION IS
 BEING SOUGHT
Friends Petition Gov. DOnaghey to Stop Hanging of Oscar Pullen, Who Has Been Sentenced to
 Hang on September ,.

Little Rock, Aug 7.-Should Gov. Donaghey decline to commute the sentence of Oscar Pullen, the young man under sentence of death for the assassination of Lafayette Deloney in Little River county, it will be be- cause sentiment has entirely been set aside and self-confessed murderer forced to pay the penalty for his heinous crime. Though it has not yet been filed, petition for commu- tation is on it's way to Little Rock signed by nearly all the people of Little River county, and besides this, some very strong arguments are be- ing made to Gov. Donaghey in favor of the communication. It is said that the judge who presided at the trial, the prosecutor and number of oth- CT Little River court officials have taken a hand in the effort to secure a life sentence for Pullen. Reports from Little River county state that the people there condemn the action of young Pullen very strongly, but since the acquittal of Mrs. Deloney, who was considered by most people of the county to be guilty the peo.- pie do not believe the youth should suffer death from crime she is all legged to have led him into. Little
 River, oounty people claim Pullen was nothing but a green country youth and Mrs. Deloney, through the power she exerted over him, caused him to assassinate Deloney as he lay asleep in his bed. Pullen claims Mrs. Deloney planned the crime and held the window open while he shot her husband. Prior to the crime Pullen was we'll thought of in the county. He is now in the peniten- tiary here, awaiting the day set for his execution, Sept. ?, and has little hope for communication. He admits his guilt and expects to mount the gallows to atone for his sins. The cold blooded manner in which De- loney was assassinated will work against Pullen in the effort to save his life, it being reasoned that a man who would do such thing is capable of realizing the enormity of the crme before committing it and be prepared to take the consequences when proven guilty.

NEGRO RAPIST MUST
 DIE ON GALLONS
Gov. DOnaghey Declines to Interfere In Case of Harry Poe, the Gar. land County Negro, for Whose Life Stubborn Fight Has
 Been Made.

Little Rock, Aug. Just as sure as September rolls around, Harry Poe, the negro convicted in Hot Springs for criminally assaulting 11-year old girl, will be hanged in the yard of the Garland county court house in Hot Springs. Gov. Donaghey has finally declined to interfere in any way with the decree of the court being carried out, so Poe must go to the gallows. R. E. l.. MaXey, attor- ney for Poe, who has made such fight for his client, came to Little Rock Saturday and made a final plea to Gov Donaghey for commutation to life imprisonment, but Gov. Don- aghey had been influenced by promi- nent citizens of Hot Springs to deny the petition and made vigorous plea for his client, but Gov. Don- aghey said he had talked with none of the persons mentioned, getting his which he reached the conclusion the negro is guilty. MaXey came to Lit tie Rock flor the purpose of making an effort to have the little girl, the victim of Poe, brought before the governor in order that an atttempt to force her to deny the Identification of Poe might be made. Gov. Don- aghey did not give the attorney chance to go into that phase of the case, as the child positively identi- fled the negro when he was tried at Hot Springs. Prominent citizens of Hot Springs who were in Little Rock today, stated if Gov. Donaghey should commute the sentence of the negro, women of Hot Springs woul@ come to Little Rock and make an effort to assassinate him in the pen- itentiary Should the negro be par doned. these people said, not only Poe but his entire family, would be in danger of extermination at the hands of a Hot Springs mob, they stated. In order to satisfy the outraged pop ulace at Hot Springs, an effort will be made to have the execution pub lie. This will be the first legal exe- cution ever performed in Hot Springs.
