The news from Raleigh brings a
reported exercise of execution clem
ency on the part of Governor Holt,
In the case of ths necro Alfred Dawns
under sentence of death for burglar
izingths house of Mr. J. W. Wads
worth In this city on the night of Oc
tober the 8, 1891. While the govern
or has confined himself to the pre
rogative of his ofnee In thus com
muting the death penalty to impris
onment for life, he has no justlflc
tion for his act other than a sickly
sentimentality which can be aroused
at any and all times when the law is
to be vindicated. It seems to The
News that the only moving pell
tlonersbould have been the victim
of this night maruda for Mr. Wads-
worth's life was simply saved him
because of the position in which the
burglar was captured and of the nt
tor inability of the latter to show the
fight his murderous nature would
have resorted to. Aside from this
the little 12 year old child of Mr.
Wadsworth, who was nearly fright
ened to death on the night of the bur
glary has ever since suffered with
nervous prostration and cannot be
induced to lie in peace in any other
than her father's arm. If the reort
before us of the Ciovernor's endorse
ment on the official document be
true, Tiik Nkws is at a loss to see
how his Excellency finds any justl
fl cation for setting aside the verdict
as rendered at the trial because as he
alleges Dawns is "a cowardly thief
rather than a brutal villian with
murderous Intention." A reading oi
the statue will show that the crime
consists in breaking into a residence
after nightfall, and is not qualified as
to whether or not the Intruder is "a
snea. thief" or "a cowardly thief."
For several days before Dawns was
captured three or four burglaries in
this city were reported in Th R News.
After Dawns was jailed these out
rages ceased. There is little doubt
but that Dawns the "weak minded"
recipient of his Excellency clemen
cy was the perpetrator of all. Other
towns were ready to seize the negro
if he had been cleared here, to try
him for burglary. Either change
the law on the subject of this form of
home protection or take away the
pardoning power of the Governor.

Wilmington. Once in the past three

The Weather.
Following is a synopsis of weather
prevailing at 8 A. M., to-day: An
area of high barometer has deve!oed
along the middle gulf coast which
has produced clear and cold weather
over this section Temperatures
generally over the entire country
have fallen from 5 to 20 degrees, ex
cept in the Dakotas where they have
risen as much as 30 degrees. A
storm area remains on the flew
England coast, but will likely soon
give way to the high advancing from
the gulf.
