"The Awakening Five Hun- dred Citizens" of CuIlman Telegraph Age-Herald
 of Steps Being Taken

Serious efforts are apparently beins made to save the life of George James. sentenced to be hanged in Cullman Fri day for the murder of Enoch Claw burn. Appeals for clemeney have al- ready been laid before the governor and several Birmingham citizens have shown interest in the case It will bs recalled that Clayburn was fired upon through a window one evening about a year and half ago while he sat in his home reading the Bible
 The Age-Herald last night received the following paid telegram signed. 'The Awake ening Five Hundred Citi- zens;"
 "Cullman. August 3.-The scaffold is built to hang George James, age 20, for the killing a year and half ago of Enoch Clayburn, 20 miles from this city.
 This will be the first hanging in Cullman county. and the people of this county will hold this legalized mur- der because the boy who is to meet this fate Is held to be an almost idiot. He was a high school boy unable to go on with his studies and had to quit. Then he married a little country girl after the fashion of this section and this girl wife has borne him. two chil- dren. Friday the state of Alabama will make worse than orphans of these two little ones unless Governor Henderson either commutes or respites this pris- cner
 There is hardly man who Is not satisfied that the i'll fated boy is weak minded and there has been a satisfied feeling that this fact would be made known in the proper time and through the proper channel
 After George James committed the deed with no witness to fasten the crime on him he declared before Judge Burke that he was guilty and asked the lowest fine. He thought he could pay it off and though the family are the poorest mountain folk, he agreed to raise the money and settle up and go home if the judge would consent. Cullman county has suddenly awak- ened to the fact that the boy might be hung and intense anxiety has seized the people that this be not done. l.. N. Buell.. George IT. Parker, J c. Im- busch, w. O. Hill, Mayor M. l.. Robert son and many others have signed A re- quest to Governor Henderson that the sentence be commuted. with seven of the jury. Is it too late?
