by Sheriff Grant February 4, do not
Indicate that his appetite has suffered
because of his possible demise.
Sheriff Grant wrote the governor
yesterday that in the press of civil
and criminal matters" February 4. he
utterly forgot the mandate to put the
negro, convicted of the murder of a
white man. to death on that day. The
sheriff didn't know what to do about
it. He had no warrant to execute his
prisoner on any other day and asked
for instruction.
The governor turned tho matter
over to Attorney General Coco. who is
rakipg the law books for precedents.
1t was said the once-in-j jeopardy
principle of law might prevent any
execution. In the meantime the negro
is physically alive and the board of

information he had from reliable
sources from Ouachita. the negro
should not be hanged. 1T was then
that 1 began my investigation.

Gov. Bouanchaud. another member of
the board of pardons. who told me- he

DAMASCUS:ROAD
 STONE GIVEN OK.

After being tied up for several days pending a further investigation
 of the quality of stone from the Pleas
 aant Valley quarry, contractors on the
 Damascus highway were today in
 structed to proceed with the work of
 crushing this stone and laying in the
 Cadron bottom road. The work was
 temporarily suspended through mis-
 understanding of instructions by a federal aid representatives who ex- ammed the stone. It appears that the Pleasant Valley stone possesses slightly less than the degree of hard
 ness required for the top course, but considerably above that required for the base course. Only the base is to be laid at present, and if harder stone is not developed in the Pleasant Valley quarry, material for the top course will be secured elsewhere.
 The second quarry for this road, at Cadron Gap has also been opened and the crusher put in operation, and stone was expected to begin moving from this quarry to the Cadron bottoms to- day. The material will be hauled from both quarries to the dump through the Cadron bottom in an effort to get the base course laid before the bottom becomes impossible. Steel for the 1 ,000-foot trestle to be used in this bottom has begun to arrive here and is being hauled out. The contractors expect to complete the trestle about
