PARDON GRANTED
BY THE GOVERNOR
AN INTERESTING AND UNUSUAL
CASE BOBS UP IN
ATLANTA.

Atlanta, Dec 16.-One night twenty
years ago, as Seaborn Sheffield, a
prosperous Early county farmer, was
sitting at his supper table, some one
outside the window in the darkness
fired shot that knocked the old
mans saucer from his trembling
hands-It was a death warning.
The next night as Seaborn Sheffield
sat at the same supper table, heed
less of the warning, he was shot thru
the heart.
This morning, on the urgent solicit
tation of Appellate Court Judge Ar
thur G. Powell and many other prom
inent citizens, Governor John NJ. Sla-
ton has granted a parole to the man
who fired both shots. The man is an
humble, honest negro, who has been
serving life sentence on the Eman-
uel county chaingang, where he has
| been a trusty for many years.
Behind the strange story of the
saucer and the warning shot there
lies a still more remarkable tale,
which Governor Slaton tells in his
own words as follows in the formal
order granting the parole, in accord
ance with a prison board recommen-
dalton:
Seaborn Sheffield was an old bach
elor possessed of considerable means
and prominently connected in Early
county. He had adopted two daugh
ters, who had married, and it was ru
mored in the county that he intended
to disinherit them, as he disapproved
of their choices, regarding the hus-
bands as two very bad men.
1t was at the time this rumor was
in circulation that the murder oc-
cured No one knew who committed
it. Four years later, while court was
in session, James Foster, strong
able bodied negro, came to the sheriff
and stated to him that he wished tC
disclose who had murdered Seaborr
Sheffield The negro said that he
was the murderer. He was taker
before the grand jury and narrated
the following facts:
He said he was approached by tn
two sons-in-law of the deceased ant

if he did not do so, they (sons in
law would kill him. The negro tool

He was taken seriously ill He real- ized that he could not recover, and being a poor man and unable to get up much of funeral he requested that they use his photograph to fur nish the music for the funeral serv- ices.
