WON'T PARDON STRIPPING
Georuia Governor ExcoriateS the
"UnWrtten Law"
MUST SERVE LIFE SENTENCE
Record of Escaped Convict, Later
Police Chief, Attacked in Re
view of His Case.

Atlanta. April c2.-The application for a
by Governor Brown late this afternoon.
Stripping was sentenced TO life imprison-
ment fourteen years ago for killing ". j.
Cornett He escaped before beginning his
sentence and. under an assumed name, be-
came chief Of police of Danville, Va.
Governor Brown. in his review of the
case. excoriates the "unwritten law" which
Stripping pleaded in justification OF his act
as an euphonism. presenting, when un-
masked. "the hideous feature OF anarchy
"One OF the most dangerous evils menac-
ing our institutions is lawlessness,' de-
cares the Governor.
The mob. executing in wild disorder its
victim. and the individual wreaking his own
revenge for wrongs. real or imaginary. the
man or interest treating with contempt the
laws Of the land and trusting to gold or
influence for safety, are striking mani
festatons OF this spirit Of lawlessness."
While expressing profound sympathy for
Striplines family, and high respect for the
impulses which prompted his friends 10

Brown says that sympathy and personal
friendship have no right 70 supplant an
oath bound duty 70 execute the laws Of
Georgia.
Above the rolling tide and obscurins fog
or sympathetic pleas and emotions we can
not fail 10 see the rock Of the record which
shows that Thomas Edgar Stripping. By a
jury OF his peers, was convicted Of the
murder of a fellow man." continues the
Governor. that he afterward violated
second law OF Georgia by breaking jail and
fleeing TO another state. and that, enmeshed
IN the complications OF his crime. his own
brother-in-law. Terrell HUFF. was sent 70
the penitentiary. within which he was con-
fined at hard labor until, through doubts
70 his guilt, he was set free on recon-
mendation Of the prison commission.
greatly regret. therefore, that. under the
conditions. do not feel justified in inter
rupting in this case the due process Of
law"
Governor Brown discusses Stripling's life
after he broke Jail in 1897 and does not fnd
IL sufficiently spotless 70 entitle him 10 a
pardon and continued liberty.
Not one man in several hundred kills
one man" says the Governor Not one
man in five thousand kills two men and in
tentionally wounds another. and, while an
officer Of the law, is fined once for opprobrt-
Gus language and once for violence toward
yer another man. But this is Stripping =
record since he killed Cornett. I do not
say that he was NOT within the scope OF mis-
duties in each OF the ira gc incidents mark
ing his career since he fed from this state,
but I submit that they impair the power 70

suspicion and Per Sc entities him 10 a par

Stripping was recognized in Danville early
this year, where he was known as Morris
end was serving as chief OF police. He was
arrested. brought back 20 Georgia and
placed in Jail 70 await action on his ap-
peal for a pardon
Stripping declares he killed Cornett be-
cause the latter insulted Striplings sister.

that they would not stand for il. Their
constituents did not expect it OF them.

they do not resign The Governor
can do nothing, even ii disposed. He
has no control over the Sherifs. and
they can snap their fingers at him.
Nor has he any power t. cause the
law to be enforced. The power which.
he had through a State commission
and by power to dismiss delinquent
county attorneys his party With him
as leader has deliberately cut away.
as it indeed promised to do if it had
the chance There was at one time
good deal of idle talk about plan
of the strictest possible enforcement.
which Was to make the State so sick
of it that it would turn to license and
local option for relief. But if there
ever was any such design it was aban-
doned. Resolution failed when it
came face to face with the condition.
So far as one law is concerned there
are in this State sixteen independent
governments, each doing as ii pleases
those in authority. Everything is in
deed wide open in some if not most of
the cities. The question is how the

While the commitments to Jail for all
causes and for drunkennes SIS were slightly
more in the II counties than in the i've
in 1908. there was a decrease in commit
ments in the IL and an increase in the five
up to 1911
In five non-enforcement counties the in
crease was: Total commitments. - per
cent. for drunkenness, 81 per cent.
In II enforcement counties the decrease
was: Total commitments II per cent:
for drunkenness. 11.6 per cent.
Ratio of commitments to population in
five non-enforcement countless: Total, i
to each sc of populations; drunkenness, l
to each 100 of population.
Ration of commitments to population in
II enforcement counties: Total. to each
143 of population; drunkenness, to each
219 of population.
The above data clearly shows that vice
and crime decreased under enforced pro-
hibition. and largely increased under nom
enforced prohibition.
1T is often said that there is as much
liquor sold and drunk under enforced pro-
hibition as under unenforced prohibition.
