GOVERNOR GRKEN A MAN OF
RARE ETHICAL CULTURE.

LANSING, MICH. Feb. IA
sheriff from Georgia came up to De
troit last week asking for reaul
sition for an alleged Negro criminal,
whom he stated had committed
murder in the State Of Georgia ten
wears ago. The sheriH was not quite
sure as to the identity Of the alleged
criminal but said that he thought
that the Negro in question was the
man wanted.
The alleged criminal denied haV
ing ever lived in Georgia stating
that his original homo was in South
Carolina and producing witnesses to
his statement. He proved that his
name, which had never been
changed was not the same as that
of the man wanted.
The Governor reviewed the case
carefully conferring with the best
legal minds Of his official personnel
in the matter. In reviewing the
case. the lack of positive identity,
the alleged criminals attested de-
NAL of ever having lived in Georgia
coupled with his ten subsequent
years excellent record as citizen,
constituted prepon6erating weight
of evidence in his favor.
Governor Green, after an intensive
review of the case refused the
requisition and the Negro was re
leased from custody. Attorney
Robert ]. Willis represented the
defendant.
The Governors decision shows
him to be an executive Of rare
ethical culture.

they get through with the key, they
bring it back here rather than carry

can't put that rod in their pockets"

are seven of them there now.
