Alabama Gives Every Doomed Man Chance
To See Governor and Make Final Plea

whether there were circumstances
outside the cold reasoning of the
law to justify sparing a condemned
mans life.
Twenty-three of the petitioners
were Negroes, eight were white.
Nine of the Negroes and three
whites were granted clemency, either
because Gov. Sparks felt they had
not received fair trials, or because
! he thought the penalty too severe.
| A constitutional amendment in
1889 took all pardon and parole
powers away from the Governor but
left with him the authority to save
prisoner from the chair. If he does
that he can only commute the SEN
tence to life.
| The clemency hearing is but one
of two legal safeguards Alabama
has thrown around the men whose
lives society demands in retribution
for their crimes.
Shortly after Gov. Sparks as.
sumed Office he got the State Legis-,
lature to enact AN automatic appeal
law under which every death sem
tence is reviewed by the State Su-
preme Court at no expense to the
defendant.
Attendance of Witnesses
Is Strictly Voluntary
The Governors recommendation
grew out of mercy hearing in
which a convicted murderer ap-,
peared before him without benefit
of counsel and with no money to
take his case to a higher court. The
State now not only guarantees an
appeal but also pays the fees Of
court-appointed attorneys when the
accused cannot afford legal aid.
Clemency hearings conducted by
Gov. Sparks amount almost to a
second trial, He will hear any ap-
peal and will consider any evidence.
not decided on already in court.
State and defense attorneys are
asked to attend ard the condemned
man is permitted as many witnesses
as he wants, but none are compelled,
to be present. It's strictly voluntary.
A Negro who had signed a murder
confession and told officers where's
he buried the victims purse changed
his story when he faced the Gov
ernor and accused two white men,
but refused to give names, even on
a promise of 30-day reprieve. Just
before he died in the chair he adj
mitted the story was hoax and
confessed anew. y
No one at the Capitol remembers
exactly, when the clemency hearing
custom began, but it has been going
on for years.
1t has no origin in law and any
Governor could discontinue the pro-.
cedure at will. But, somehow, none
has, although Gov, Sparks, the pres
ent executive, admits privately he'd
rather take beating than go
one of these things"
Gov. Sparks says there is no in
flexible rule to use as guide in,
granting or denying clemency.
II have found I cannot let my
feelings enter into it," he
says.

cause of shifts in public taste. Price

"a r. ICH1GAN'S unique one
m "A man grand jury system is
lVl developing into a sizable
Government I ustry.
Seven inquiries are underway today
in six counties and more than $780,
600 in State and local funds have
been set aside to pay the bills.
Approximately $500 witnesses
have had an opportunity to speak
before the inquisitors. Targets of
the jurors include gambling, bribery,
liquor control, labor and local courts
approximately 200 citizens have
been indicted, including legislators,
State and local police officials, labor
leaders, bankers, industrialists and
gamblers.
Michigan'S one-man grand jury
system, which dates back to Detroit
Police Court procedure of the l880s,
differs from all others. although
somewhat similar statutes exist in
Connecticut, Vermont, South Da-
kota, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Ari-
zona and Oregon.
Witnesses May Be Held
For Contempt of Court
The Michigan statute, written in
1917, enables justice of the peace,
police judge or judge of court of
record to act as grand juror when
ever, upon the filing of complaint
by q citizen or an official, he has
cause to suspect that crime has been
committed within his Jurisdiction.
Witnesses may be subpoenaed and
may be punished for contempt OF
court If they fail to answer ANY
question which the justice or judge
may require material to such an in
quiry." They may be required to
answer even incriminating ques-
tions under certain circumstances
although a witness thus incriminat-
ed may not be prosecuted.
On various occasions the Michi-
gan Supreme Court has upheld the
legality of the one-man probe, mos
recently and emphatically in l945.
Some of the States one man in
vestigations have made nationa
headlines.

needs-for small families and low

income purchasers-call for light
weight turkeys. Hotels and res
taurants still want the heavier
poundage.
Partly because of high feed costs
and also to take advantage Of pub
lie demand for smaller birds, mar
ketings are expected to be the
earliest in II years of record and
well ahead of last year, the Agri-
culture Department said.
AS in the case of many other
farm commodities, record supplies
will not necessarily mean lower
consumer prices as in the classical
working of supply -and-demand eco
nomics. Government support will
hold prices at 80 per cent of parity
for the duration of the state of war
plus two years.
For turkeys, the supported aver
age farm price will be about 203
cents a pound, live weight. This
figure will vary among the four
turkey producing zones of the
country.
When producers declare their
turkeys are selling below the sup
port price, they may ask the Gov
ernment to step in and buy up the
surplus and return market prices to
the support levels.
Government Converts
Surplus in Many Ways
The Government, in turn, may
sell the turkeys through CONNER
cial trade channels, through ex-
ports or through other govern
mental agencies, or it may transfer
them to the school lunch program
or to Federal, State and municipal
institutions, or it can convert the
surplus supplies to canned form and
dispose of them through any of
these methods. The export posi-
bilities are considered less than
favorable because turkey meat is
more perishable than other kinds.
Farmers generally welcome sup
port prices in the heavy crop years
in order to balance the hazardous
lean years. This is particularly con-
yenient in the turkey industry.
A bronze tom turkey requires
about 80 pounds of feed to reach a
weight of II pounds at the age of
% weeks If this feed cost is higher
than turkeys bring on the market,
it means a lean year dollar-wise.
High mortality is another con-
tributing factor toward lean year.
About 2 per cent of the young tur-
keys and 9.6 per cent of the breed
ing stock was lost last year because
of disease and exposure.

civilian supplies at lower prices than

That is, prices will be lower unless
other kinds of meat are so scarce
that poultry is placed in unusually
greater demand.
Production of turkeys was stepped
up to record heights during war
time to augment other meats drained
off to the military forces. A Gov
ernment crop report estimates pro-
duction this fall will be down about
8 per cent from 1945's peak, but
there still will be more than ever
