SATTERF|ELD PLEA
FOR CLEMENCY IS
REJECTED BY BOARD
Appeal to Governor Is Last
Resort Left for the Con-
denned Slayer of R, H,
Hart

The Georgia prison commission
Wednesday morning declined TO
recommend clemency i'll the case of
J. Is. Satterfied, sentenced to be
hanged April 25 for the murder of
his brotherin-law, r. II. Hart. here
in December, 1921.
An appeal to Governor Walker is
the last resort Of the condemned
man.
The prison commission was asked
to recommend clemency for Satter-
field on the ground that he was sub
iect to hallucinations. Attorney
Murphy Holloway, who represented
him at the trial, presented the ap-
peal before the commissioners last
week.
Satterfield was convicted in Full
ton superior court, and his sentence
was upheld by the state supreme
court. He was broughtback here
and tried after having been at lib
ertv for more than year-after STAY
ing Mr.. Hart. g.
Members of the prison commission
stated the evidence indicated that
Satterfield killed Hart because he
did not get. d small amount OF
proreIty left by Mrs. SattertleId,
and that there was nothing to prove
that Satterfield was not IN ms flShl
mind at the time of the Saying,
or ut other times.
1t was reported in state capltol
circles Wednesday that Mr. HoiIo-
wav would ask Governor Walker
to grant ii respite in the case ana
appoint lunaCy commission to IN
vestigate the mental state OF Sat
terrified, but MI. Holloway stated
he expected TO submit the case to
the governor on the present record
He said he would ask for Il hearing
date at once.
Satterfield killed Hart during
Christmas week in 1921, after he
had chased him from the Hart home
on Trinity avenue, near Whitehall
street. Hart ran out of the house,
followed by Satterfield, and sought
refuge in Il soda dispenSary at
Whitehall street and Trinity avenue,
and was killed While in the store.
Recently, soon after his sentence
was affirmed by the supreme court,
SatterfieId escaped from the Fulton
county tower by saving his way
out, but was recaptured after SIX
teen hours liberty.
