 Dossey Rivers. sentenced to death for the murder of A. C.

The board by unanimous vote Monday de- clines to recommend clemency for Rivers and referred it's statement with the records to Governor Bran don for such action as he may care to take.
 The evidence shows without con flict most deliberate and cold hlooded assassination by a law vio- lator of law officer" said the re- pert of the board of pardons. The undisputed facts fully justified the scverest penalty provided by the law. Whether or not the law should per init the infliction of the death pen atty in any case is a question which, in our opinion, addresses Itself to tho legislature and not to the pardoning power"
 The board referred a large number of letters recommending clemency, "Nich have been received from Mo- bile county, many saying Rivers lacked education and proper relig- ious training. It answered that the board of pardons cannot enter into speculation regarding offenses or to seek to ascertain the mental and moral development of the offender, but must give proper consideration to the verdict of the jury which heard the evidence. The report mentioned that the trial judge and solicitor said the crime was cold -blooded. but that 10 of the 12 members of the jury had recommended clemency on the ground that new evidence had been found.
