Aged Murderer to Serve His
Sentence

Macon, Ga, Jan. 9.-Notwithstand
ing the applicants 70 years, the action
of the prison commission in his favor
and the petition for clemency signed
by large number of prominent cit
liens of Bibb county, Governor Slaton
has declined to pardon Roger Mccall,
a white man who is serving a life SEN
tence on the state prison farm for the
murder of his wife.
The murder, which occurred in
1911, was entirely without provoca-
ton, and was one of the most shock
ing ever committed in Bib county.
The only excuse the old man was able
to offer for shooting in cold blood the
wife with whom he had lived for so
years was that he was drunk, and did
not know what he was doing.
