Hamer Faces
Death 6y Gas
Robert Hamer, Duplin County
Negro, awaited death in the gas
chamber at Central Prison after the
State Supreme Court refused him
a new trial .
Hamer was sentenced to die last
September for raping Mrs. Howard
Hatcher, 17, a white farm wife on
March 25, 1953.
Hamer appealed on the basic that
his confession to an SBI agent was
not voluntary and that a highway
patrolman prejudiced the jury when
he mentioned that Hamer was a
fugitive from a prison camp at the
time of the assault.
Officers extracted a confession
from him by threatening to turn
Mm over to a mob. Hamer said. He
said he confessed because he was
ignorant of his legal rights. He said
the threats influenced a later con
fession that he assaulted but did
not rape the woman.
Associate Justice Sam J. Ervin
Jr., wrote the court's opinion on
the appeal, holding that the latter
confession was vaud although the
earlier confession had been exclud
ed from evidence at the trial.
Sheriff Ralph MUler has received
ten passes for Duplin residents de
siring to witness the execution of
Robert Hamer.
K. B. Bailey, Warden of State
Prison, said that the execution
would be carried out with lethal
gas at 10 o'clock on Friday, AprU 23,
the Sheriff said. He added that
Bailey's instructions regarding dis
tribution were that none were to
be given to any of the victim's
family or the family of Robert
Hamer.
W. A. Brame, a member of the
Board of Paroles, last week wrote
the Sheriff "for any further de-
toils."

calls, both in body and soul, and
if I should leave you so young, I
wish you to read this to comfort
and console you. If it be God's will
that I leave you such a wall of
prayers gone to Heaven that He
wiU guide and save you to the fifth
generation and longer if it be His
will if time should last so long.
Many things, Dear Children, I wish
you to know, that my time and
place cannot telL I will try and be
as brief as I can to let you know a
few of my wishes, for fear you wUl
not read it as often as I would like
you to.
Dear Children, my first and
greatest wiU is that you read your
Bibles and abide by its command
ments. Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth, but lay up
for yourselves treasures in Heaven,
for where your treasure is there
will be your heart also. Life does
not consist in the abundance of
things in this world, but seek ye
first the kingdom of God and his
