Just half an hour before the-negro's soul S was to have been' sent into etern ity from the -gallows. - . j There was some criticism of the Governor following upon Ithe an nouncement that he had respited the negrq ten days, but this ended when it was understood that the reprieve had been granted at the request of Solicitor Brooks and when the princi pal prosecuting witness in -the trial made a statement for the considera tion of the Governorto the effect that Jones' wife was a woman wnpse char acter was questionable, and whose conduct, inspiring tne passion ox jeai ousy in the breast of the negro, caused him to commit the crime, without pre meditation. y. c v . ,i, V'YJf ' The Governor's statement in grant ing1 the commutation is as follows: . "The defendant was x under sen tence Df death for murder. Ini the first degree; and,' application . to commute sentence to life Imprisonment was filed before me, "with affidavits and testimonials as to character; also counter, affidavits : and' testimonials filed 'contradicting the allegations in the petition.

On Fridayj evening before the execution was to take place on Saturday, some of the best men in Guilford . .county,: among whom . were lawyers, doctors.-jninisters arid ' busi ness men importunedvne to commute the sentence. I got in communication with Solicitor' Bro)ks, as" I have to lqok largely to . the . legal officers for may information. At first he declined to; make any recommendation. On Saturday he phoned me asking, for respite of ten1 days to give hinji an, op portunity to examine more thoroughly into the case. - In . the interest of hu4 man life, and desiring to nUake no mistake in so- important a matter as that of life and death, without any Intention of putting the responsibility on Mr. Brooks, but In order to get his aid. I respicted the defendant . until February 18th. Since the respite and after , examining - new testimony and affidavits, bojh Judge Moore, the trial Judge, and Solicitor Brooks, j recom-! mend unconditionally the commuta-j tion. In addition to this the strongest witness in the case, on whose testi mony the defendant was convicted principally has come forward and of his own accord made affidavit: show ing the character of the deceased and that the killing grew out of the pas sion -engendered by jealousy; j that .it was. sudden and. not premeditated. With the lights before them, the Jury did right and the sentence was just With the evidence before mej at the first hearing, I know I was right in refusing to commute the sentence, but now ' that the judge and solicitor . In the light of new facta presented rec ommend It, and the strongest State witness has furnished affidavit that leaves doubt on the mind as to; wheth er the killing was premeditated, while still believing the deefndant very guil ty, but, there being grave doubt as to the degree of his guilt. In the interest of human life I commute his sentence from death to life imprisonment at hard labor in the State prison, believ lng that under the circumstances it is best to make a mistake, if any, on the side of mercy, than to too; rigidly enforce Justice.
