The Condemned Boy

The Supreme Court of Arkansas
has declared hat A l;-yeaf-eId neGre
boy convicted ~ q charge of killing
companion in gnarr'. must sLf-
fer the death penalty The case
now Is up to Gov Donaghcy and q
cording to Gtwsa ,Y.r accounts he
he will set inc ;im4 III the eyecu
tioD,
After the boy had been found
gully by lul a ana sentenced 70
death thousands of pleas Icr elem
ency were recei "a lr)m all Parts -
the nation by -. Donaghey and
since the decls'rn Of tho supreme
Court vas 'ta ,iint Vi the state :
chief execute, has received lctters
by the score, asking him to stay the
death penalty.
The boy in the case is Earl Gil
christ and he was sentenced to deaib
June for the murder of VIII Lo"g
ley, another negro, The Gaze at
tracted considerable attention, be.
cause of the extreme youth of the
defendant.
Gilchrist, the testimony showed
engaged in a friendly scrimmage
with several other negroes. and the
bout wound up with rockthrowing
match, during which Gilchrist was
slightly injured
Jones, 12-year-old, brother of the
Gilchrist boy, ran home during the
ARRAY and returned a few minutes
lates with revolver. The Longley
boy took, the weapon away from him
when he returned and started back
to the Gilchrist home with it
Earl Gilchrist ran ahead and beat
the Langley boy in race to the
house, and secured a shotgun He
came out with the gun and fstally
wounded the Langley boy,
Some question as to the age of tbs
Gilchrist boy developed during th'
trial. The parents testified the DO,
was / years old, while the State in
troduced witnesses who said tn
mother and father had told them
years that Earl was 10 years oil
at that time. which would havemsd
him 1S years old at the time Of tn
tragedy.
So far as can be determined, tn
boys age was not positively estab
lished, but despite this fact the sen
tence was imposed, affirmed by tn
Supreme Court and all that now re
mains is the setting OF the date 70
the execution
" was developed from the test
moiy that the Gilchrist boy was il
Jiterate and II this is true. II is onl
another reason In favor of grantin
ing clemency to the youthful prison
er. To hang mere boy does not ar
peal to the average American a
justice, even though the boy is
black one.
The case is up to Gov. Dogahey an
he alone can save the youth frol
the gallows and the State of Arkar
sas from shane,

distance of 195 miles. The promoters
since securing the charter have been
endeavoring to interest capital and at
different times railroad experts have
been over the route.

The success OF this undertaking was
SO great and lots were sold in such
a rapid manner that it became nee
