from the Governor a pardon for him.
The IN rider for which Morris was
convicted occurred during 1912 at a

(colored) store, on the outskirts of
West Greenville. There was some
disorder in the place, and five ne
grocs chased another member, Of their
race out into the street and it was
here that the negro was shot and
killed. At the trial four of the ne
groes who were also under indict-
ment for the act testified that 1t was
Morris who fired the bullet.

penitentiary of Alonzo Smith, alias
Jack Smith, who was serving n SEN
tence Of seven years for assault with
