FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 1S, 1910

The action OF Governor Mann yester'
day in extending the life OF Henry
Smith three weeks and the lives of GAL
viu johnson, Richard Pines and Eugene
Dorsey four weeks was unexpected aud
surprising ID psople In this city. IL
was generally understood that his excel
lsncy would commute the sentences OF
the four men. This superstition was
based upon assertions made by Rich
mord newspaper mep, who imagined they
had OWNED The governors intentions.
Their X.rays, however, we're detective.
The murder for which these negroes
vera convicted and sentenced to be
aIectrocuted WAS committed fourteen
months sgo, and the mutderers we're
cap'u,ed Two weeks later. The trials OF
the men consumed moat OF the time OF
the curt last summer and three OF them
were sentenced 10 be pu! to death 10 the
earle fall. Smith was subst quently
tr,ed end he was sentenced TO be e!ectro'
cu!ed in the second week 10 January.
Governor Swanson postponed the execu'
tIon of johnson, Pines and Dorsey from
time to time, and Governor Mann has
followed in bis foot taps In the cases OF
all four. His excellency ia probably
acting On the best motives, and ia will
inp to give counsel for the condemned
men time 10 which to bring forward
anything OF Importance they may as
cover. he evidently balks, however,
at electrocuting three men convicted
mainly on the evidence of a confessed
pe,iu,er and a noted criminal who had
served time 10 the penltentiary. While
smith furnished the mstslial evidence
on which johnson, Pines and Dorsey
were convicted, they were unable to re-
fute it-that is, to the satisfaction OF four
iu,ies or to the court. The frequent re-
pu listion OF Smiths statements COM
plicated The case seriously. The gov
ernor, under the circumstances, desires
to proceed cautiously 10 such serioua
matter aud Hill consider the case 10 all its
details before be gives final Judgment.
The governor acted wiaely On postponinR
the day OF execution of johnson, Pines
aud Dorsey till att'r that OF Smith, Tor
the latter has stated that the truth Will
never be known 10 the case Ill he takes
his seat In the electric chair.
