published at the State College for Col
ored Students by the students, urges
a change TO life imprisonment Of the
sentence OF Reese Roberts under SEN

another stay of execution is granted.
The appeal is:
Convicted, sentenced to death, APP
plication for communication Of sentepce
denied by Board Of Pardons, respited
by a humane Governor, this man, a
desperate criminal or an unfortunate
victim of circumstances, must soon
know whether he shall die felon's

would be small choice between these
alternatives and in view OF the kind
Of evidence produced, there could
come no harm to the state If the more
merciful course is followed"
