STAMEY, WOODS
CLEMENCY PLEA
Case Argued Before Gov.
Hoey In Raleigh
Saturday
Clemency applications of two
Macon coimty men serving 25 to
3J years' each in prison fo-r second
degree murder brought an impas
. sioned plea on their behalf and
just as earnest opposition, in a
three-hour hearing before Gover
nor Hoey Saturday.
Marvin L. Rich, attorney for the
two prisoners Ernest btouney and
n.,J. I? hlrrAa in n lnrrthr
speech contended., that a thorough
investigation of every angle of the
case had riot been made and re
ferred to political conditions in Ma
con county as possibly having a
bearing.
Two other attorneys, G. A. Jones,
and George B. Fatton, of franklin,
said they represented "tire people
01 iVlacon county" and the Alacon
board of commissioners, and vig
orously opposed clemency for tn-c
prisoners. ,
Sheriff A. B. Skgle of Alacan
county denied flatly that politics
had entered the case. He said that
Stamey. while en route to prison,
had threatened persons involved in
the case.
Stamey and Woods were convict
ed in connection 1 with the slaying
of George Dryman in an attempted
roouery . in Macon county in yoJ,
Governor Hoey took the case und
er advisement touowing tnehear
ing, which was unusual because the
chief executive " rarely personally
conducts such investigations.
Paroles Commissioner Edwin Gill
said following the hearing that no
-f filial rnnnprtcH with flip ra had
recommended clemency.
He said that Judge J. H. Clem
ent had written that "the jury con
victed the defendants on very
strong evidence. I don't see how
they could have done otherwise."
Jones and Patton displayed a
letter from Solicitor John M.
Queen, urging them to "protest"
the clemency.
Jones declared that "if this man
ency because of his good war rec
ord, he 'has already . received such
clemency at the hands of Gover
nor Bickett." .
Stamey was awarded a Distin
guished. Service Cross during the
World War. He had joined the
army following an escape from
prison, where he was serving a
term for a homicide. He was par
doned after, the war.
, "If there has been any bad feel
ings . about this case following the
trial," Patton said, "it -has been
railed snlelv bv the activities of
Marvin Hitch, who has come to
Macon county and slandered the
judiciary of the state and 1 made
criticisms of its solicitor and its
law enforcement agents."
I. I J i 1,1 it... r
..ft 13 Uliuvisiuvu high vjw . w
Hoey asked that one additional
record be sent him from Franklin
in regard to the case, and this was
done after the return of attorneys
Jones and Patton from Raleigh.
The governor is still considering
the records in the case, and . will
probably announce his decision
within a short time.
