ARMSTRONG \ MAY LIVE

Little Rock, Aug 26.-Robert Arm- stron8's case has made a deep inn pression on Governor Donaghey He is the young negro sentenced to hang in Little Rock September 27, for as- sault and evidence recently at hand tends to prove his innocence and to fasten the crime upon the late J. B. Brown, the notorious Jack the Shooter This evidence consists of au anonymous letter written carly ill December which has been identified ny handwriting experts as having been written by Brown. The writer of this letter admits that he and not Armstrong was guilty of the crime.
 Prosecuting Attorney Rogers is very positive ill his conviction of Arm strongs guilt, and declares that to grant him clemency would be to per init systematical, idiotically unin- formed justice to rule." He fur her ridicules the finding of the handwrit- ing experts, who are cashiers of lead ing banks, declaring that he can prove that they cannot tell the diff ference between a Chinese laundry ticket and the hieroglyphics on an ancient Greek tablet, CT a Latin max i'm in print from an inscription on an Alaskan totem poe.'
 w. A. Boyd, counsel for Armstrong. working faithfully without fee, has presented pt.rs his proof to the governors consideration, and the governor is be- lleved to have arrived at a conclusion. Mr. Boyd has secured ten of the twelve jurors who convicted Arm strong, to sign a petition for the par don of the negro on the ground that he has been convicted of crime he did not commit.
