MAJOR NJ GREGOR
SLIGHTLY BETTER;
STILL NEAR DEATH

WARRENTON, Ca, Sept. 1S.-Al-
though the condition or Major c. Z.
McGregor, state pension commission.
er, was somewhat improved this
morning after a restful night, little
hope was held for his recovery, ac-
cording to attending physicians.
Major McGregor, who is eighty-four
years old, was taken dangerously
i'll Tuesday.
Despite his advanced age and
physical ailments which have been
sapping his strength for some time,
Major McGregor has refused to heed
the warnings Of his physicians to
take a rest. When he was stricken
at his home Sunday, it was thought
that the attack was only slight, and
members of his family were not
alarmed until Wednesday, when he
grew worse, losing strength rapidly.

SENTENCE Of DEATH
DEALT To NEGRO IS
LIFTED BY WALKER

Will Johnson, Atlanta negro SEN
fenced to be hanged Friday for the
murder Of Peter Poulos, Forsyth
street restaurant proprietor, was
granted a Communication to life i'm
prisonment by Governor Walker
Thursday. The prison commission
had declined to recommend clemency
in the case.
Governor Walker, who has had the
case under consideration for several
days, based his Communication upon
the possibility of mistaken identity,
and the further fact that Chester
Johnson, an older brother Of Will
Johnson, received only life term
when convicted Of completely in the
same case.
The two Johnson negroes and
Clifford Walker, a third negro, were
charged with Staying Poulos when
they attempted to rob the restaurant
and PouIos resisted them. 1t had
been claimed that Poulos, in a dying
statement, charged Will Johnson
with firing the shot.
Governor Walker gave out the fol
lowing statement on the case:
Il believe in capital punishment
but only in atrocious crimes with
positive and entirely satisfactory
evidence of guilt
This crime was atrocious.
The eye witness who testifies
to positive evidence, kinsman OF
the deceased, was not positive when
the crime was committed He now
says that his Identification of John
son came into his mind gradually
through a period of several days aft
er the crime. In my judgment 9th
er evidence does not measure up to
the standard satisfying me that the
extreme penalty should be imposed
Those interested agree that Ches-
ter Johnson. a co-defendant, is older,
more intelligent, with superior men
tally. and meaner and probably
planned the crime But for assist
ance rendered the state by Johnson
the perpetrators would have gone
unwhipped of justice. Johnson's wit

and the jury was not given the op-
portunity 10 pass on the defendant 5

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 1S.-Ber-
nard II. Rawls, convicted in the SUI
perior court last night of the murder
of A. Lamar Poindexter in the lobby
Of Hotel Tybee, Tybee island, last
may, and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for life, will make application
for new trial, his attorneys an
nounced this morning. The final
application will be made at once with
a bill Of particulars to be filed later.
RaWls was very cheerful this
morning in his cell at the county
Jail. His mother, who came from
Dublin, to be with her son at the
trial, and who was almost hysterical
last night when her son was car
ried from the sheriff's office to the
jail, was much more composed this
morning. 1t is evident that there
is to be a strong legal fight made

Lu Yung- Hsiang, commander-in-

tonight, expressing his willingness

No danger to the foreign settle

heavy guards were placed at all APP

Psk Lob, secretary to Ho Feng-
Ling, military governor of Shanghai,
and an appointee of General Lu, to-
night finally admitted, after rumors
consistently unfavorabe to the Che

that through ''treachery and bride

third army practically amounting to
a declaration of independence.
