Crump, Jr., another former convict,
whose entry into the race for Gov
ernor attracted so much attention. de-
cIarng that he had been induced to
enter the race wholly to cast ridicule
on Jennings candidacy, and that the

to do so.

Among the men named in Crump's
affidavit as having advised his can
Gidacy was Judge Williams, who re-
