Will Hang For
Race Murders

JACKSON, Miss, Declared
sane by state psychiatrists, VIII
liam Clark Mitchell, 54-year-Old
white man, seems doomed to die
on the gallows Feb. IL for the
brutal rObbery-murder of two Ne
groes. Gov. Hugh White, who
twice granted Mitchell reprieves
and who called for the sanity test,
declared last week he would deny
clemency to the slayer as "the
case Is now out of the governors
hands"
Mitchell was convicted of beat
ing Lewis Bryant, a son, Coot
Bryant, and the elder Bryant's
wife with a blunt weapon in a
robbery attempt in July of 1882.
Their bodies were soaked in kero-
sene and set afire. The men burn
ed to death but the woman man.
aged to crawl to safety and was
able to testify at Mitchelps trial
a few months ago.
Governor White described the
crime as lone Of the most afro
cious in the history of the state"
Mitchell had an accomplice,
James Cook, his brother-in-law,
who pleaded guilty, testified
against Mitchell at the trial and
was sentenced to life imprison-
ment. After serving less than a
year, Cook died in prison two
weeks ago.

led eight years in the army as
cook, six Of them in the PHILIPPINE

tropical fever contracted during
his army service. He says spells
come on him every six months Of
year" and he does not know at
those times what he is doing.
Mitchell said the double murder
may have occurred during one Of
these spells"
But DR.. D. c. Mitchell, super
intendent of the state hospital for
the insane, examined him last
week, and told Gov. White that
Mitchell is fully responsible for
his acts"
Unless some extra legal action
is taken, he will be hanged Feb.
II, at Coffeville. The state SUI
preme court has upheld the con-
Nction and all legal loopholes are
closed. IF he dies, Mitchell win
be the first white man since 1889
and the second in the history Of
the state to be legally executed
for the murder Of Negro.

The hearing of the lettuce ana

The lettuce rates went into effect
last year and during the winter

ceived the benefits of rate 10 per
cent lower than that prevailing in
California at the same time.
R. N. Wilson, director of the Cali
fornia state Chamber of Commerce
