A commutation to life imprison-

negro, under sentence of death in
DeKalb County for murder, by Gov
ernor Slaton Tuesday morning.
The Governors action was at va
Rance with the recommendation of
the Prison Commission, which was
that the sentence of the court be car
ried out.
Oliver was convicted for killing an
other negro, Oscar Glenn, whom he had
mistaken for one that had attacked
his younger brother.
The evidence showed that the crime
while apparently a cold -blooded one
had been committed while Oliver was
drunk.
Whites Plead for Negro.
In a statement giving his reasons
for committing the negro's sentence
Governor Slaton says he was influ-
enced by a delegation of citizens Of
DeKalb County who appeared before
him and asked that clemency be
granted. The Governor refers to this
hearing as "one of the most remark
able scenes in the history of Geor-
gia-"

Victims Father Urged Clemency.
These citizens represent the best
thought and civilization of our State
They live in the community where
the crime was committed, and know
the witnesses and local conditions.
They are all on the lists of the grand
and petit juries of their county, and
to them must the State look for the
enforcement OF its laws in their
county
These gentlemen urged clemency
on account of the negro's previous
good character. and that his good will
to white people had earned him the
enmity of many negroes, and that the
testimony against him was greatly
biased
The father of the dead man testi-
