Gcv. McLean Takes This
Action on Basis of New
Evidence Which Was
Presented to Him.
VISITS PRISONER;
DOUBTS HIS GUILT
Governor Said He Would
Order New Trial if .He
Could—Action After a
Thorough Investigation.
Tribune Bureau.
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, July !).—“1 sure do tbnnk
the Lord, yes sir, I sure do.”
And Alvin Mansel, 18 year old
negro youth who was to die today in
the electric chnir in State prison
here, gulped back a sob When told
last night that the Governor had
commuted his sentence to life im
prisonment. Munsel was convicted in
Asheville last November of having
attacked a white woman and wan
sentenced to death for rape. He has
steadfastly protested his innocence
and after he had regained his com
posure somewhat after having been
informed by Warden J. H. Norman
and Tribune correspondent that the
Governor had decided that he - was
not to die, he said:
“I've been praying to the Lord
day and night telling Him that 1
was innocent and asking Him to
make folks believe me. And He has
heard my prayers. Yes sir, I am
thankful to the governor, too.”
Asked if he was going .to wo»k
hard and make a good prisoner. Man
se’ said:
“Yes sir, I sure am going to work
hard and do what’s right.”
The case of Mansel has attracted
almost nation-wide attention, as
well as State wide note, not because
of any special merit in his case, but
largely because it is an outstanding
example of the innate love for jus
tice that exists in the hearts and
minds of nil Americans, and particu
larly, North Carolinians. And Gov
ernor Me I yea n mentioned this fact
in discussing the case with The
Tribune correspondent, after a busy
day in which he had devoted almost
his entire time to reviewing the de
tails of Mftnse.’s case for toe fourth
time within -a few days more than a
week, calling attention to the fact
that literally thousands of people, be
cause they did not think the boy was
guilty, had interested themselves in
his behalf and written asking; him
him to extend clemency.
In fact, the circumstances have
become woven about this obscure
negro boy are most unusual, ns is the
Governor's connection with them. In
the first place, the Governor was
compelled to call out the State Na
tional Guard to protect Mangel’s life
at the time of his arrest, in order
that justice might be done and that
he might have a fair and regular
trial- Then later eight members of
the mob that stormed the Buncombe
county jail and sought to take Man
sel nnd lynch him. were later indict
ed, found guilty and are now serving
sentences in the same prison in
which Mansel is now confined, and
where he will serve out his life sen
tence. And since the trial, new evi
dence was discovered, which caused
the Governor to find that there was
reasonable doubt as to Mansel’s
guilt, upon which doubt the com
mutation of sentence was granted.
All the circumstances combine to
present a mest striking illustration
of the fact that there is justice in
North CVroiina.
Jn connection with the granting Os
the commutation, Governor McLean
issued a lengthy statement of some
3,000 words in which he set forth in
detail the facts which led’ him to
commute the death penalty to life
imprisonment, stating that while
there was enough evidence to estab
* lish doubt as to Mansel’s guilt there
was not enough as yet to warrant a
full pardon, although later his inno
cence might be established beyond a
doubt, at which time a pardon would
still be a possibility. t
“1 have been impressed in going
over the case with the deep seated
interest which the white citizens of
Asheville and Buncombe county have
taken in the cape. The appeals to mei
have not been made by members of
the prisoner's own race, but by dis
interested, intelligent white men and
women of the highest character and’
standing. It is inconceivable that* all
of these citizens should speak with
one voice in appealing to me for
clemency if it were not for the fact
that they earnestly believed the in
fliction of the death penalty would be
n grave injustice, under the circum
stances,” the Governor says in his
statement.
"This case has given me more con
cern than any official duty I have
had to perform since I became Gov
ernor,” the Governor continued, “I
bo'ieve firmly in the necessity for
capital punishment, particularly in
c scs of rape; but I do not believe in
the infliction of capital punishment,
even in the case of rape, unless it
appears that the prisoner!! upon all
the evidence <1 inclosed up to the very
moment of the execution, 'is guilty
beyond the shadow of a reasonable
doubt. That is not only the correct
principle of administering justice,
but it is the only principle that
satisfies the Inner conscience. My
task has been more difficult, also, by
reason of the facts and circum
stances which led up to the trial and
convietion of the prisoner,” the Gov
ernor continued-

AN EXPERIMENT IN
PRISON SELF-GOVERNMENT
Is Being Worked Out With Success
at the State Prison.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, July S). —An experiment
in prison self government is being
worked out at State prison here and
is proving a success, ns not only is
the cost of an additional supervisor
being served to the State, but pro
duction has been increased 100 per
cent, in the section of the chnir fac
tory ’where the new plan is. being
tried out.
Two months ago there were about
thirty men working in the section of
the chair factory making cane bot
toms for chairs. A guard or su
pervisor constantly weut to the room,
keeping watch over them and giving
some slight instruction to beginners.
The production averaged about four
jyr five chair bottoms per man ]>er
dayr’”*’ ’
One of the prisoners in this chnir
bottom room, who had formerly been
a foreman in a furniture factory,
suggested to Dr. W. C. Norman, the
warden, that tie thought production
could be • increased nnd the morale
considerably bettered if the guard
were removed, and one of the grade
A prisoners put in charge. Always
willing to try anything that will be
for the betterment of conditions in
general. Dr. Norman acceded.
And this is the difference that has
resulted in the chair shop.
The average production lias in
creased from four to eight chair bot
toms a day for each man in the shop,
some men making as high as twenty
bottoms a day, though the beginners
are much slower. An increase of 100
per cent, in production.
These men work all day in the
(Aop, with no guard or supervisor
near, do more work and with fewer
infractions of the rules than former
ly. In fact, no prisoner in the shop
has been reported for breaking any
rules since the “honor system” was
put into effect about six weeks ago.
The men take more pride in their
work, engage in friendly contests to
see who can make the most chair
bottoma in a day and turn out bet
ter work.
“It pays to put these men on their
honor,” Dr. Norman says.

LAWYERS CLASH AT
THE TRIAL OF DURKIN |
Clashes Came as Results of State
ments by Defense Counsel.
Chicago, July H.—(A 3 ) —The'State
wants to convict Martin J. Durkin
of the murder of Edwin C. Shana
han. federal agent, “to take the minds
of the people off the question of who
killed Assistant State’s Attorney Me-
Swiggin. nnd why?" Eugene L. Me-
Ghrry, defense counsel, charged today
in his filial plea. The ease is ex
pected to reach the jury late today.
The assertion brought prosecutors
to their feet objecting.
An outburst by Lewis Brument’ial,
of the State’s staff, caused Judge
Harry Miller to order him to his seat
as the court sustained the objection.
He continued his protest when tile
court refused to let him answer Mc-
Garry.
Betty Andrews Werner, the State’s
principal witness, was declared to be
a “professional gold digger” by Mc-
Garry. who said that “she dug gold
on Marty, and then on the taxpayers
of Cook county since last January,
maintaining sumptuous quarters” in
a down town hotel as a witness.
"What reason had Durkin to fear
the police,” MeGarfy asked, “when
they were on his payroll in the boot-
I leg business. Half the police force
of Chicago today is in the bootlegging
business.”

some tales of conditions on certain

Little Interest in Eclipse.
Washington, D. C., July 9.—As
tronomers of the United States naval
observatory are manifesting little in
terest in the annular eclipse of the
sun which is to take place today. The
lack of interest is due parti? to the
fact that annular eclipses are com
paratively unimportant and partly be
cause today’s phenomenon is not vis
ible in this part of the world. The
path of the eclipse lies across the
Pacific Ocean, though it will be par
tially visible throughout a consider
able section of western Canada and
in a number of the western and south

Raleigh. July !).—Not orSy will
the story of North Carolinn as it is

sources. be broadcast at the Sesqui-
Centennial, but the story of North
Carolina and its accomplishment in
the past, with special regard to the
part it played in the struggles of in
dependence during the Revolution,
will also be told, according to an an
nouncement made by Governor A. W.
McLean, in discussing the printed
matter relative to the state which will
be distributed at North Carolina head
quarters at the scsqui.
“This historical sketch dealing with
the part which this State played in
the early history of the nation is now
being prepared by Captain S. W.
Ashe, as when the matter was first
determined upon, everyone concerned
could think of no one so competent to
prepare it. We can rest assured
that it will be well done.
“Let me say in this connection
that sometimes I fell that the rank
and file of our people do not appre
ciate as fully as they should the
great work Captain Ashe has done for
North Carolina, particularly in the
publication of his History of North
Carolina, the second volume of which
was recently issued. Personally, I
should like to bear public testimony
to the gratitude I feel toward Cap
tain Ashe for his unselfish and con
spicuous service to the state. It is
a pity that so few have appreciated
his history sufficiently to purchase a
set. Whenever I have occasion to
investigate any matter concerning
North Carolina history, I intuitively
turn to Captain Ashe's books and
realize very fully that I could not get
along without them.’’
