Wife FILES A PROTEST
IN CASE OF STRIPPING
Opposes His Pardon By the
Governor

Americus people who by hundreds
have signed the petition circulated
by Mr.. c. r. Winchester, asking of
Gov. Brown the pardon of Edgar
STRIPPING, now in Jail at Columbus,
where he was carried recently, were
rot Il little surprised yesterday at the
Published protest of the former wife
cf Su!pling's victim of IA years ago.
In a stirring and pathetic statement,
Mrs. G. NJ. Nelson, of Chipley, Harris
county, formerly Mrs. William ], Cor
nett. wife of the man who was killed
by Thomas Edgar STRIPPING, appeals
to the public to hear the other side of
the case.
After Stribling was brought back
from Danville, Va, where he had been
chief Of police for ten years, to serve
Fife sentence for the murder OF
w. ]. Cornett, from which he escap-
ed fourteen years ago, public sympa-
thy was aroused to such an extent that
many petitions for his pardon were
circulated.
The governor has also received one
or two letters of protest from Vtr-
ginia and a number of clippings from
newspapers which are hostile to Strip
ling, opposing clemency
It is pointed out that he killed two
men while in Danville, one before and
one after he became chief of police,
and it is stated that these killings
might have been avoided Also it is
said that he was known as the PRO
hibition chief" and aroused some enmi-
ties on that account.
Gov. Brown has referred all of the
papers to the prison commission,
which may take up the case at its
April meeting
The petition for pardon will be op-
posed by friends of Cornett In her
statement, Cornett's widow asks con-
sideration for the widow and children
as well as for the living. She init
mates that there were other causes
for the killing than an alleged Insult
to Striphng's sister, and says the
trouble was that Cornett knew toe
much.
She charges also that Stripping par
ticipated in a lynching in Columbus
The case is assuming a new and very
interesting phase.

FL Paso, Tex, March 14-What has
been the fate of the fifteen Americans
taken prisoners after the defeat of the
insurrectos at Casa Grandes?
This is an all absorbing question
here today, and reassuring evidence
that the men are still alive and held
in jail, pending a trial, is eagerly
awaited. to offset the belief held by
some that the men have been sum-
marily shot by a Mexican courtmar-
tial
Relatives and friends of the unfortu-
nate Americans here have organized a
junta and are using every endeavor
to locate them, while Gonzales Garcia,
the insurrecto secretary of state, who
is now in Ell Paso, insists that the
men have been executed.
