jim HILL RESPITED
FOR FOURTH TIME
MORE HOPE ENTERTAINED THAT
NEGRO MAY BE COMMITTED.

For five times has the execution OF
jim Hall been fixed in vain. Convict
ed of murder in Crisp superior court
last summer he was first sentenced to
hang by Judge Crum. Then his case
was appealed to the supreme court,
and the date for the hanging was
necessarily advanced.
His conviction being affirmed by
the supreme court last winter, he was
then resentenced to be hanged on Feb
22nd
Just two or three days before the
for his execution some kind
! hearted citizens of the city and cOun-
ty, believing the negro's mental cali
hre was far below normal. interested
Cordele bar, in the case. and since
then an effort to obtain commuta-
/ ton of the sentence from death to
life Imprisonment has been waged
which has gradually aroused wide pull,
lie interest
In spite of two adverse recommen-
dations in the matter by the state
prison commission since February.
Mr.. Bussey has stubbornly continued
to fight the case, and has secured
four respites for the negro almost al
the last moment each time The las
respite has just been granted by Gov
ernor Hugh Dorsey directing another
stay of execution from June 18th to
July 10th.
On the showing of mental incompe-
| tency of the negro. ten of the jurors
trying the case. and the judge who
presided at the trial and first imposed
the death sentence, have joined in d
strong plea for the change of the pen
atty to life Imprisonment 1t is I'M
derstood that three of the leading ply
sicians of this section have studied
the negro's mentality and furnished
the prison commission with state,
ment that in their opinion the negro
is weak minded. has a mind no more
developed than that of an average
twelve year old child, that he has poor
memory, that he is unable to state the
details of any subject, even the events
leading up to the murders of which he
| was convicted, in anything like an in
telligent manner, and this conception
of right and wrong is poorly develop
ed, and his moral conceptions very
vague and indefinite The attorneys
who were appointed by the court to
defend the negro when tried for his
! life, state that the Negroes ignorance
was so profund that he was almost ut
terly incapable of rendering them any
assistance in his defense either upon
the trial or in preparation for trial
Public interest in the case has
! changed greatly during the fight for
the negros life so that practically
every person vino has come in con,
tact with the negro or studied his
mental condition, now agree that life
Imprisonment is a far more appropri-
ate punishment in the case than the
death penalty
