CONTEST TO DE AIRED


 A contest over the location of a road in Henry county is due to be aired before the state highway com mission at it's regular monthly meet ing for June, which opens Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. It was are counted on to appear from Henry county and present arguments for the location of the road from Abbe. vile to Headland
 The Abbeville- Headland road was originally located, according to in- formation from the state highway de- partment, so as to go via the town of Newville It was found, 1t is stated, certain citizens along this route were extremely reluctant to grant right of way. and as re- suit the location was changed so that the highway will not go by way of Newville. This has provoked pro- test from the citizens of the town, while on the other hand a number of others who will be better served by the new location are expected to he on hand to oppose relocation which would route the road on the original line via Newville.
 Bids have already been opened on road projects in Montgomery county. Dublin to Orion; Marion county Demopolis to Linden, and Clarke county, from Thomasville to the Will COX county line, and if they are &C., ceptable to the commission, contracts will be awarded to the low bidders at this session.

 It is expected that in acceptance with the custom of the commission, the first days session. Monday after noon, will be devoted to hearing the numerous delegations which are in- variably on hand from all parts of the state seeking to gratify ambi- lions for more good roads.

FATE. 0F WILSON
 RESTS IN HANDS IF G0V. BRANDON
Friday To Witness Either Execution Or Communication
 Of Sentence
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD !

montgomery, Ala., June 24 J
 The fate of Tom Wilson rests in the hands of Gov. William W. Bran Son. and apparently all hope of aid
 securing clemency through action st the chief executive has been aban- doned, following the action of the state pardon board early In the month In refusing by unanimous vote to recommend communication of the death sentence. Wilson will hang Friday unless the governor intervenes, and the coming of Friday will, it seems certain, witness either the execution of Wilson or the communication of his sentence to live imprisonment as no attempt has been made for further delay since Governor Brandon grant ed a three-week reprieve to the con- demned man, who was originally sentenced to pay the extreme pen alty June 8. Attorney General Har- we'll c. Davis, chairman of the par lon board, stated today that not the slightest intimation has been re- ceived from any source that an at -empt will be made to secure further consideration from the pardon board, all of the members of the board hav- Ing previously refused to recommend aither commutation or the reprieve which the governor granted.
 The only recent development in the ,ase was a letter received Friday by the attorney general from Ewing, he detective who brought Wilson back from Illinois to Alabama, and secured from him his alleged con- fession. In his letter, Ewing stated that the attempt of Wilson's attor- -neys to prove that Grady Christopher, the Georgia man who was later killed in Illinois, was not with Wilson at the time Kirby Cole was murdered Is not q matter of importance in the case. Mir. Ewing called attention to the fact that the only evidence that Christopher was the man with Will son in the murder car was the tes- timony of Wilson himself. and ex- pressed the belief that Wilson gave shis testimony after Christopher was killed in order to place the crime on dead man. Ewing also. furnished the attorney general with the names of the sheriff and county attorney of the Illinois county where Wilson was arrested which officials, he stated, would testify as to having heard Wilson's admission that he was in the automobile in which Cole was killed. Testimony from these of- ficials already has been received by the pardon board corroborating that of Ewing.
 Only the reluctance which Gov ernor Brandon has previously dis played to see the gallows claim a victim can weight in the scale In favor of Wilson's life. as the case now stands.
