GETS 45 YEAR TERM
INSTEAD Of DEATH
Louis Randall, CoIored Assail-
ant, Has His Sentence Com
muted by President.

Louis Randall. the negro who was
sentenced to death by Justice Gould
following his conviction by a jury for
an alleged assault on Mrs. Bessie
Gleason, II Nicholson street north
east, will not die on the District gal
lows. President Wilson, upon the
Recommendation of Attorney General
Palmer, has commuted the death SEN
tence to thirty years in prison. Ran
dali also was sentenced to fifteen
years Imprisonment by Justice Gould
for an alleged attempted assault on
Louise Simmons, colored school
teacher.
Randall has protested his innocence
of the attacks on the two women, and
detectives have openly stated that
they were in doubt as to his guilt.
Several Of the detectives, responsible
for the negro's arrest have stated
they believe the two women were
mistaken in their identity of Ran
dali as their assailant.
The negro was convicted OF the as
saults following his Identification be-
fore jury in the District Court by
the two women. For several weeks
agents of the Department of Justice
have investigated the circumstances
of the arrest of Randall. and 1t was
on reports they made to the Attorney
General that the recommendation was
made that the death sentence be COM
muted.
Randall was to be hanged on the
District gallows on Thursday. He
probably will be sent to the Federal
prison at Atlanta tomorrow.
Under the parole laws, the negro
becomes eligible to parole from prison
after serving a third of his sentence.
