j. Of c. SERVANT
ESCAPES MOOSE
Former Students Get Sentence
of Negro Slayer Reduced to
Life ImpriSonmnt.

Services which Ben Green rendered
prominent Atlantans while he was a
servant at the University of Georgia
are responsible for the fact that today
for the first time in months he knows
that his life will run its natural course
and not be stopped by the gallows rope.
The negro yesterday pleaded guilty to
murder and was sentenced by Judge
Roam to life Imprisonment
Green probably crazed by cocaine,
murdered Aaron Morris, a barber, in
Gilmer street last spring, when the bar
Der rushed to the rescue of a white
woman who had been attacked by the
maddened negro.
Morris left a widow and a large fam
lily of dependent children. A wave of
sympathy for them swept Atlanta A
large fund was raised for the bereaved
family and feeling against the negro
ran high.
When Green was tried, though strong
effort was made to show that he was a
lunatic when the deed was committed,
he was sentenced to hang
Former Students Go to His Aid.
But the negro was not friendless In
his younger and better days he had
been employed as a servant at the
University of Georgia. There he had
met and served numbers of prominent
young Atlantans. Until the drug habit
changed his entire nature he was a
model servitor known as Big Six"
he was as familiar figure about the
campus as the captain of the football
team
He left Athens, though. and came to
Atlanta. His habits changed So did
his name. big Six" became Cocaine
Ben"
But the Georgia men remembered
Big Six" when Cocaine Ben" stood in
the shadow of the gallows Supported
by them, his case was carried to the
supreme court. They were confident
that the negro was not mentally re-
sponsible for his act. The case was
reversed and a new trial ordered.
His white friends then obtained an
agreement that he should be SEN
fenced to life imprisonment on a plea
of guilty. The plea was entered yes
terday. Green will begin his term at
once.
