MACON, Nov. 5.-An application
will be filed with the prison commits
sion at an early date by Attorney
B. J. Fowler, who is seeking par
don for Warren l Johnson, former
special agent of the. Central of Geor
gia railroad and former deputy sher-
iff, who was convicted in Sumter
county Superior court in 1916 in con
nection with the murder of Walter
Wade. Johnson is serving life
term sentence. The application is
being presented to the citizens OF
Bibb county and Mr. Fowler says he

tanned on the testimony of Mrs. Yer
tie Howell, an alleged eye witness to
the killing, though her testimony was
impeached. The trial of Johnson
with DIR. C. K. Chapman and other
defendants implicated, attracted
statewide attention as the body of
Wade was thrown in the Flint river,
after he had been shot through the
head. and it was not discovered un-
til several days later
A pardon has already been asked
