The collector made it plain that while he was supposed to advise any person as to the proper means of mak ing out the tax schedule, he could not do the intricate taak of filling the blanks himself tha experts should be employed.

FORGOTTEN NEGRO IS NOT TO GAIN LIBERTY Governor Must, Set Another Hanging Date NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 9. Lonnie Eaton, the negro whose date of execu tion was forgotten by the sheriff of Ouachita parish, will not regrain his freedom because of the oversight, ac cording to an opinion handed down to day by Attorney-General A. V. Coco. Prior to the rendering of the opin ion, many leading attorneys of the state contended that by reason of the fact that the negro's life had once been placed in jeopardy when tire governor fixed the date of his execu tion, and that date arrived without a reprieve being granted, he could not now be legally hanged, but that on the other hand he was legally deai and must be granted his freedom. This view was not sustained by the attorney-general, however, who said after setting out, that he could find nothing in the text books, ancient or modern, or in jurisprudence which furnished the least basis for such an idea, The attorney-general J.hen ruled that it would be legar for- the governor to again fix a date for the" execution of the negro who was convicted of the murder of Charles McQuiller, a white planter, in 1917. Will Flourn?y, another nesro, convicted'of complicity in the crime, 'Is now serving a lite sentence for his part In the killing: of the white man murdered in a drunken brawl. Movements has been started by a number of interested people in the state to have the death sentence stand ing agrainst the negro commuted to life imprisonment.
