Later Evidence Kaiees Serums tyubts
and the Govornor the Only Power
to Do Mm Justice.
Gov. Aycock has commuted
the sentence of Andrew S Jack-
son. The following from the
Raleigh correspondent to the
Charlotto Obscrvor is an ex
planation worthy of duo con
sideration: Andrew Sherman Jackson, of
Lincoln county, convicted of
burglary in the lirst degree and
sentenced to bo hanged. but who
was respited February 24th until
March 0. was placed in the
penitentiary at 5 o'clock this
morning to servo a life sentence,
the Governor cummuting the
. .
death sentence. The Governor
late this afternoon gave out a
lengthy statement of his roasons
for commuting the sentence. Ho
says the crime was most atroc
cious and if the prisoner is guilty
he ought, to suffer the extreme
penalty, -but since the trial of the
case evidence not submitted to
the jury ha,s been laid before
him, which renders the guilt of
Jackson a matter of. grave
doubt. Several affidavits, are
filed that on June 3 when the
crime was committed Jackson
was at Gaffney, S. C. The
Governor says: "It is entirely
possible, not to say probable,
that this evidence, if heard by a
jury, would have changed their
verdict. It is a misfortune .that
our law is m such shape that the
Supreme Court while granting
new trials in .civil" suits for
newly discovered evidence, will
not do sq in criminal cases. The
..Governor has no means by
which he can determine the
truthfulness, pf.newly discovered,
evidence. A new trial ' of a
prisoner by means of which the1
jury could have the benefit of all
the facts as they now appear
cannot be had."
Fire witnesses, two hown to
be of good character, swear to a
state of facts which renders it
impossible for the prisoner to
be guilty. These witnesses can
not be mistaken. They have
either sworn falsely or the
nrisnnpr is not fruiltv. Thn
"witnesses for the State may be
mistaken. No one in the house
entered claims to hav,e recognized
the burglar. The evidence is
circumstantial. Many people
whoheard the Uial and numbers
who have been inforfnc! of thb
facts ha-fc recommenced comrtiu-
tation.
