FREDERICK, Md, Feb. 16.-Judge
Glenn H. Worthiugton, OF the Juvenile
Court OF Emmitsburg was called upon
to settle the most perpleXing case of
his career when Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Ridge, white, were brought into court
to explain the, continued absence of
their boy from school,
1t developed that the boy had been
sent home from school by his teacher
on the grounds that he was a NEGRO"
and therefore ineligible to enter the
school in question. The Ridges refused
to send their child to a school set apart
for Negroes" and the upshot of the
whole thing was that the child remained
at home.
After an examination by physicians,
it was announced that the boy was GER
tainly not OF pure white blood" and
Judge Worthington concurred in this
opinion.
After hearing the opinion of the ply
sicians, the judge suggested to the par
ents that they move across the line into

.SHER|FF'S FORGETFUL-
NESSSAVES MAN'SLIFE

MONROE, La, Feb l6-Sheriff
Arthur Grant, OF Monroe late today
received letter from Governor Parker,
under date OF February 8, indicating
the governor may extend executive
slemcncy in the case OF Lonnie Eaton,
whom the sheriff forgot TO hang last
Friday, and that the black man will
be sentenced to the state penitentiary
for life
The letter in effect says that Attor-
ney General A. V. Coco is making an
investigation and that the proposition
has also been placed before the board
OF pardons where the result will be
that Eaton will probably get life SEN
tence."
Governor Parker has informed the
sheriff it will be impossible for Ouachita
parish to proceed with the hanging
under the order which called for the
execution last Friday. Sheriff Grant is
preparing to leave for Baton Rouge and
will take up the matter with the COVER
nor. He issued formal statement late
today as to his failure to hang the
condemned man. He said: The rea-
son | overlooked the matter is because
Eaton has been in jail at Shreveport for
three years and | was not, therefore,
reminded OF the matter"
He refused to comment further.
Monroe residents are almost univer-
sally agreed Eaton's sentence should be
commuted to life imprisonment. They
declare that fate has intervened to save
him and that he should be dealt with
accordingly. Prominent attorneys also
say that Eaton should never have been
convicted OF murder but that he should
be punished for manslaughter. Lonnie
Eaton and Will Flournoy, went or
trial in the Sixth District Court al
Monroe during the early part of 1915
for the McQuiller murder, which oc-
Cured in December, 1917. Both were
sentenced to be hanged last August
but Flournoy's sentence was commutec
to life imprisonment, while Eaton go
reprieve of ninety days, and later I
second ninety-day reprieve.
Eaton, in jail in Shreveport has con
stantly expressed the belief he woulS
not be hanged and said he was no
guilty of murder and the white folks
would find way to rescue him. II,

startling story.
