ALA. GOV. COMMUTES
.SCOTTSBORO DEATH
SENTENCE TO LIFE

Montgomery, Ala, July -
With the computation of the death
sentence, of Clarence Norris into
life sentence by Governor Bibb
Graves, yesterday, it was hoped
that the seven-year-o Old dispute oV-
er the Scottsboro case in which
nine youths were alleged to have
attacked two hite women on a
moving freight train, near Paint
Rock, Ala, in 1881, had come to
la close.
No. ris was to have been cleo
trocuted August 19, the date set
by the Alabama supreme court
when it refused to review his case
last month. This was his third
death sentence, two of which the
United States Supreme court had
commuted. The other three accus-
ed of the attacks were given long
prison terms ranging to ninety
nine years. Five of the defendants
were absolved, but one was given
twenty years in prison for attack
ing a deputy sheriff with a knife.
In New York the Scottsboro
defense committee were making
plans to send a representative to
Alabama next week to file for
pardons for the ScOttsboro de-
PENDANTS. Samuel LieboWitz of N.
Y, was the chief defendant law
yer for the boys.
