The con demned man is reprieved until next Tuesday, the 18th. i - v The prisoner had made all prepara tions fordeath, the undertaker's wagon that was to have conveyed the remains from the i ail had arrived, . those who wejre to witness the execution had as sembled, and the colored ministers" were conducting what waaaupposed to be Frazier's last religious service when r Sheriff Jones entered the jail and in formed the condemned man of his re prieve. C 1V? announcement was re ceived with great emotion, the prisoner of course expressing- much -joy. Ap parently he was calm and collected in the face of death, but when told that he waa not to hang, he lost his nerve completely. When the naws of the reprieve was first received it was presumed that Governor Glenn would commute the sentence to life imprisonment, and when the chief executive announced he had no such iutention, his action in tne matter was the subject of consider able criticism. Many people have ex pressed the opinion that, if the gover nor did not intend, to conynnte the sentence, he should not have reprieved the condemned man at the last mo- ment only to have him again ex pen- ence the agony of mind in anticipation of an'execution.'
