lar to the one he conducted in At
lanta in the fall of 1917. He has
been reading accounts of the Dupre
case in the newspapers beyond
that, he acknowledges in his letter
he knows nothing of the case. His
appeal to the governor. for Glenn
ency is based upon the youth of the

killed Irby C.. Walker and wounded
B. Graham West.
No petition for cummutation, Of
course, has yet reached Governor.
Hardwick. Dupre's motion for a

the processes of judicial appeal be-
fore it will reach the governor I'M

my Dear Governor: That Du-
pre- LAST will finally come up to

81 have heard a good many folks
express their views on the case as
they have followed accounts in the
papers and I don't believe a. single
individual would feel that justice
had not been done if the boy were
given a life sentence instead of
hanging.
81 hope you will exercise that
clemency typical of the big heart
and generosity of the south, and
give this boy a chance. l have
somehow felt that his youth and
inexperience and. that the fact that
he was drunk are all mitigating
circumstances, and I am sure that
If / were placed in a position where
you probably will be, l would have
no hesitation whatever in commit
ing his sentence from hanging to
life imprisonment.

hearted folks who were left behind

AmSFSIOOTI 0lSliSti.
Doom. Holland, Nov. 6.-The former
German emperor, once all-highest of
the empire, and Princess Hermine OF
Reuss were married at the House OF
Doom, where the war lord abides III
exile.
This second venture was in strange
contrast with that day in 1881 when,
as crown prince he welded Augusta
Victoria. e. ,;ghter of Grand Duke
Frederick of Schleswig- Holstein.
Several of the offspring of that first
union were present to set the seal OF
family approval to the new alliance I
There were two ceremonies, civil
contract drawn UP and signed by
civilian H. and "Hermine, Reuss,
as they affixed their names; the sec
ond, a religious ceremony by the for
mer court chaplain, DR.. Nogel, ac-
cording to the Lutheran rites.
The air of secrecy surrounding the
entire affair has been we'll maintain
ed throughout. The climax cf the
systematic myStifica ton adopted by
the household came when the brides
sister, Princess Ida, who resembles
her, successfully passed herself off
as the bride at the AmerSfOOrt sta
ton with an array of castle ears,
whereas Princess Hermine left the
train at ApeldoOrn, half an hour ear
lier and drove to the castle unob-
served, those within the place making
much of this as a huge joke.
At the religious ceremony which be-
gan with the singing of the Lutheran
hymn Jesus Geh voran," Pastor Vo-
gel preached from the text, Now
Abideth Faith, Hope and Charity"
The bridal couple occupied carved gilt
arm chairs surrounded by crowns,
| while the numerous guests were seat
ed in rows behind them.
"Now the joyful day has arrived, y
declared the minister, when his ma
jesty and her serene highness join
hands,"
He recalled that the same text had
served at the golden wedding of Will
liam l, and at the bridegrOom's own
silver wedding "The bride" said he,
'has left fatherland and friends to
unite her life with that of his ma
jesty, whose faith has sustained him
in circumstances which would have
driven others to despair"
AS an evidence of iaith, he pointed
out that the kaiser conduct religi-
Gus services on every Lords day in
| his own home. He paid tribute to the
virtues of the late empress and Prem
cess Hermine's former husband, re-
ferring to the "kaiSerin" as the idea!

! Love each other, as God loves
you," he admonished, land you shall
prevail over all evil report"
Then followed the reading of the
marriage service; rings were exchang
