FRAZIER JUNES RETKIEYED,
Condemned Wife Murderer Snatched from
Jaws of Death at Last Moment Gover
nor Glenn Criticized. 1
Frazier Jones,' colored, w no was to
have been hanged Saturday at noon
for the mTurder of his wife, was snatch
ed from the very jawa of death by a re
prieve that was received by Governor
Glenn only a few minutes before the
time set for the execution. 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.'
