MANSEL RESCUED AT LAST MINUTE BY THE GOVERNOR Sentence Commuted to! Life Imprisonment Fol-! lowing Appeals From Many Asheville Citizens EVIDENCE REVIEWED j Attorney Who Defended Mansel Makes Stirring j Argument for the Negro' " ( Boy's Life Raleigh. July ? ? The death I sentence of Alvln Manuel, 17 year , old negro yogith. was commuted to i life Imprisonment by Governor | McLean late Thursday night after ^ the Governor had visited the con- 1 demned man In the death cell. Mansell was to have been elec trocuted this morning on I tho j charge of attacking a Buncombe \ County woman. It la doubtful If a case was ever gone Into any more thoroughly or , investigated more carefully than waa the case of Alvln Mansel by Governor McLean. Not only did . the Governor read the records of the caae four timea, in order that he might be familiar with every i phase of it and every bit of evi- 1 dence offered, but he went person- 1 ally out to the State Prison yes terday afternoon and talked intl- . mately and personally with Man ael before making his decision. In an effort to arrive at the correct 1 facts in the case. What effect his | conversation had in influencing the Governor to make the decision ; he did Is not known. It is be- ' lieved that this la one of the vgry few times.lf not the only time, a Governor of North Carolina ever | went to talk to a condemned man the day before the date of his exe- < cutlon. In order to determine whether or not a commute his sentence or pardon him. The case of young Mansel. not' quite 18 yeara old. haa aroused * much Intereat over the State and | since hla conviction, the opinion of , people generally over the State has been to the effect that the boy j .was in reality a victim of clrcum m lance and mob psychology and W fiat under different conditions ^ #nd surroundings he would not have been convicted. And as a i result of thla belief, a concerted effort was started In Asheville 1 some two months ago. headed by i the city's most Influential citizens, to gain at least a commutation of his sentence to death In the elec tric chair. Much time and effort was expended in making a care ful Investigation of the facts In the case and new evidence was foun? to Indicate that Mansel was the victim of mistaken Identity and that It would have been Impossible for him to hpve made the attack, aa claimed by the prosecutrix. It wss alao pointed out that Man sel's deacriptlon did not tally with the first description given by the woman who waa attacked. Her first account of the attack was that It had been made by a "big. tall yellow negro." Mansel Is small, weighing scarcely 100 pounds, is of slight build snd Is , as black a*a shoe polish. It ha* sine* been pointed out I list It would have been almost a physi cal Impossibility for Mansel to have made the attack on the pros ecutrix In the manner In which It was described. Inasmuch as he lacked the necessary physical size and strength. A little more than a week ago the Governor held an open hearing at which Hall Johnston or Ashe ville, who defended Mansel at the trial there, presented the new evi dence and made a stirring appeal ? *6r the boy'a llfp. railing attenfctan ?to the fact that the trial w/s 'a ^'jrush trial" In which the defense hid not been allowed sufficient op portunity to collect Its evidence. He also contended thst owing to the presence of the Intense feel ing at the time and the presence Id the court room and outside the courthouse of the troopers of the Matlnal Guard* Mansel had really not had a fair trial, and that now in light of the new evidence, he should not be permitted to die. Since that time It Is understood that the Governor has been In re ceipt of dos^ns of lettera from pro pit In Asheville, who realizing that Mansel did not get a fair deal, inked that he not only be spared the death penalty but that he b?? given a complete pardon, rather than a commuted aentence. That the Governor realised that there waa grave donbt of |he guilt of the negro youth Is evidenced in the extensive Investigation he made Into the r aae through Par don Commissioner H. Hoyle Sink, who went to Ashwvllle to confer with the trial Judge. Judge A M Stack with regard to the matter, and the fact that the Governor had | the trial solicitor, come from Ashe- 1 fto Raleigh to discuss the case him. few days ago Msipel told Advance correspondent, when jr?a told of the Intereet being ttkon In hie behalf: "I aho ami proud to know ao many people ^^thlak I aint guilty, for I'm Inno I Bm|V I tint never bermed lo one."

July 9. ? Prime Minis ter Baldwin fired a shot over the hows of the coal mine owners Tuesday night which was Intend ed lo give them serious warning that the Government means to see fair play In their game with the miners. There was a gentlemen's agree ment between the cabinet and the owners, providing that If Ihe gov ernment pressed the eight hour bill the. owners would offer the miners such wages that they could ! not reasonably refuse. This, however did not keep the North umberland and Durham owners from Informing Mr. Baldwin Tues ,day afternoon that they would an nounce their terms only after the hill had become law. The less cau tious Yorkshire owners, believing It unlikely that the hill, having pawed the House of Commons, woud be stopped by the House of Lords, ponied terms which even the government considered highly inadequate. In order to keep the new bill from becoming an arm In the hsnds of the owners to crush the miners. Mr. Baldwin Instructed Lords Cecil and Salisbury to In form the peers that the govern ment does not propose to advance the hill until the owners make up their minds to "clear the tnlsun* derstandlng" and offpr the miners I Just treatment. Mr. Baldwin's decision has cre ated a sensation, and is applauded by a large aoction of the public. Ills political opponents think this In one of th?> olcVlfMI things he has done, since It Is bound to In crease Immensely his popularity throughout the country. Hither to. his opponents have accused him of playing th? owner's game, but Tuesday night's action dis posed at that myth. The miners, who w#re told that l "the premier la merely a slave of the owners." are Impressed by Mr. Baldwin's move and are IIKely to trust him more during the new Impending negotiations.

' A second time, the hounds eag 1 erly took the scent, following the path the negro had taken In leav ing the house, and again they led ithe Investigators Into the same colored community. Thl? time, too. they apparently became roTi fused. and the chase was aban doned. Mr. Love. Chief of Police Holmnn and members of the force , Friday were continuing the search vigorously.
