CHIEF A CRIMINAL
Georgia officer Comes to Rich
mond for Extradition Papers and
Goes to Danville to Get His
Mamie Makes No De-
NAL of His Guilt.

ATLANTA, GA. - Special IF
the sentiment of a large percent
age Of the population OF Harris
county and OF many persons i'm
other sections of the State has any
weight with the Governor and
the Board of Prison Commission
crs, Edgar STRIPPING, otherwise
known as II. T.. Morris, CHER of
Police of Danville, Va. will not
have TO serve the life sentence for
murder which he committed
fourteen years ago i'm Harris cOun-
", and which he cVaded by eS-
Gaping from the Harris county
jail before he was turned over to
the pcnitentiary authorities.
Stripiing's case has aroused UNI
usual interest throughout the en-
tire State and when ne arrived I'm
Atlanta this morning in company
with Private Detective j. W. w.
Smith, of CarrOIlton. Ca, who ar
rested him i'm DanviIIc, there was
an Immense crowd OF curious
spectators at the station TO get a
glimpse of the man. In addition
tO the efforts which IL is said
Stripling's friends i'm Danvillc will
make 10 have him pardOned, il Il
stated here that friends at his
old home i'm Harris county and I'm
various parts of the State, where
he il known and has lived. will
bend all their efforts to secure n
pardon for him from the Cover
nor and the Board of Pardons.
The fact that STRIPPING WAS
known a. q man of peaccabIc
habits prior 10 the time when lie
killed w. j. COrnCtt, i'm 1897. and
the further fact that since he cs-
capped lis life has been above re-
preach, lend strength TO the be-
lief that the efforts of hiS friends
10 relieve him of the stigma that
now attaches TO his life will meet
with success.
STRIPPING himself appears SUI.
prCmcly confident that / q will he
given justice, and justice. Ic be-
licVcS. can be nothing IA It of
pardon. When he arrived i'm At
lanta STRIPPING declined TO make
any statement further than to
say that he will Immediately en-
ploy counsel and prepare to be-
gin at once his fight for freedom.
The Pardon Board will meet I'm
Atlanta sometime next week, and
IL Is extremely probable that his
attorneys will have his case In
proper shape to take before the
board at that meeting. 1t has
not been decided whether he will
be allowed to remain here in Jail
or taken to the jail In Harris
county, to await the outcome of
