GRANTED RESPITE.
Murderer's Sanity Will Be In

December 6.
|AlL PRISONER PAR00NED
Opinion in Roy Sullivan Case
Prepared, but Withheld
for Present.

Fred Arlington. under sentence OF
death IN the electric chair on Octo-
Der 2 for the murder OF Tom Dunn. IN
Halifax County. was granted a respite
Yesterday by the Governor until DE-
cember 8. In the meantime. inquiry
will be made as to the condemned
mans sanity.
A curious streak seems to run
through Arrington's family. what
they call dope" seems to .be = rather
staple article Of diet. Through two
or three generations it has been the
habit to use this dope" beginning
with an incident at the signing OF a
will. At all events. those relatives
who have been to the Capitol to dis
cuss Arrington's case have talked free
~ of their addiction to the opiate. or
whatever it il.
Arlington is supposed TO be affected
with a mental disorder, perhaps be-
cause OF dope" After the murder he
disappeared. and is said by some to
have gone to Florida, and by others
to have remained about his home. Tho
Governor offered a reward of 500 for
his apprehension, and he was cought
at home, after he had been at large
q year.
In the meantime, some bones with
secret order button, were
found in a lonely spot. and 1t has sup
posed by many that he was dead. This
indicates that his mind was not en-
tirely gone. since he is supposed TO
have made the plant himself.
Since conviction, there has been a
question as to his sanity, and the re-
spite has been granted for purposes
Of investigation. Joseph stebbins, Jr..
