Arthur Johnson May be Electrocuted
Tomorrow.

Arthur Johnson, the negro muir
derer from Pender County, is under
sentence to die in the electric chair
tomorrow. The negro was convicted
of numbering his wife, Rosa John
son, he having shot her five times.
The case was appealed to the supreme
Court, which refused new trial, and
the day of the execution was then fix
ed by Governor Kitchin. Governor
Craig had seen none of the papers
until today and was not familiar
with the case. He expected to ex-
anime the papers in the case yester-

P. S.-Since the above was written

Taft's one term Of four years, shows
that out Of 1876 federal judges In this
country. that President Tat has ap-
pointed ia of that number. This is
the largest percentage OF appoint
ments Of judges. who are appointed
30 serve for life. or rather during
good behavior" that any President
has ever before had an opportunity
10 appoint.
The same is true as 10 appoint
ments made by President Taft on the
Supreme Court bench. During the
last four years five vacancies have oe-
Cured In that court. which Is COM
posed OF nine judges, and thus we
have today, a majority OF the Su-
preme Court OF the United States.
and a majority OF the other federal
judges of the United States, nov
serving. appointed by President Taft
during the last four years. In dis
cussing the record breaking appoint
ments Of judges today, a western
Congressman remarked that this was
not the only respect in which Mr..
Taft had broken the record.
