SIxTY-DAY RETRIEVE FOR
DOOMED MAN
preston News Service


Rome, Ga, Sept. 30.-Jim Micken,
alias Jim McMakin. under sentence to
hang October /, has been granted
60-day reprieve by Governor Clifford
Walker as the result Of an application
for clemency filed with the prison conn
mission. The reprieve was dated
September z, and received by
Sheriff R. E. Wilson Wednesday. At
torneys and friends Of Micken filed ap-
plication asking that they be given an
opportunity to show cause why his
death sentence should be commuted to
life Imprisonment.
Owing to the fact tnat the prison
commission will not meet again until
the first Monday in October, which
date is four days after the date orig
inally set for the execution, the re-
prieve was asked in order that the
showing might be made. Micken or
McMakin, is said to be half-witted and
the showing to commute his sentence
will be made on that ground.
He was convicted of murder in con-
nection with the death of Miss Jessie
Xix, in 1919, and sentenced to hang
October l, 1919 In September Of that
year, he escaped from Floyd county
Jail and until about two months ago
was a fugitive from justice. The man
was located in Toledo, Ohio, and Sher-
if R. E. Wilson went after him.
