This case is remarkable for a fathers

ufnlgh all the state and county courts.

lost out.
S.Old man Rawlings, as he was known,
confessed on the gallows and with his

Mr.. Cooper told the commission Tues
day that n ]. G. RawIius had confessed
TO him before the case went TO the jury
he could have cleared the three boys.
No Jury on earth would have convicted
them on their fathers confession that he
committed the crime and that his boys
were innocent, - Mr.. Cooper said. He
made that confession as he stood on the
