GOV. AYCOCK'S REPLY.
Slatementof the Case Respecting: Execu
; .- cation of Council. .
HALKian, Nov. 6-Governor Aycook
said to day regarding remark of ' Fa
ther Marlon at the execution of Lewis
Council, colored, at FayettevlDe last
Saturday for rape, that It wae bat uet-
uraHhe priest should believe Council
who ' professed - conversion under his
ministrations, and that any other preach
er would have taken the tame view,
Governor Ayoock said he was in no way
responsible for. Council's exeoutlon;
that be bad granted several respites so
that the ease might be thoroughly Inves
tigated; that he had carefully read the
evidence, thrice or more; that be la per
reetiy saiunea or uoundi's guilt; that he
orots-examlned Council'e victim; that be
sent ex-Judge Womack to Fayetteviuo
to Investigate; that be had exhausted 11
means In his power to ascertain t oun-
cu's innocence or guilt; that whDe many
cltlxens believe Council Innocent, he
is bound to act under bis convictions
sad not theirs; that the Council of Bute
was unanimous that prisoner was gaOty
and that the Governor ought not" to In
terfere ..with execution; that the oaly
question open to the Governor was
whether he was guilty or not; thaf he
regrets the remarks of Father Mat toe
and bss no doubt the Utter does so asea
reflection; that if Council was Inoeceet
the jury should have said no, If bo was
not guilty, ' Father Marlon , and- those
clot est to Council should have asked lot
pardon and not for eommuuttoa to life
Imprisonment; that the very fact- I bey
failed to ask for pardon shows they be
lieved only his guilt was doubtful; .that
the law ea;ntnsi rapn will always be en
forced In North Oarollna. and so, will
