Aaron Williams Respited.
Columbia Record. Nov. 2.?
Governor Hey ward today respited
the sentence of Aaron Williams,
a negro sentenced to hang
Friday, at Camden, to December
2d. The case is a very peculiar .
one and so far as was known !
there i- but oue like it in the -j
history of the courts. A mau
named David was convicted iu
Abbeville in 18*78 and Governor
tiampton respited his sentonco J
on after-discovered evidence. A
motion was made for a now trial
before Judge Mackey, who held
that he did not have the right
to grant it, but tho supremo court
held that he did, and David
was afterwards acquitted.
In this caso, the history of
which follows, Solicitor Thur
raond has been advised that he
1 quest a special term of court :
On October 17th the following
petition was hied with tho governor,
asking a respite for Aaron i
Williams, who wa3 sentenced to 1
bo hanged November 4, 1904 :

At tho general sessions court
for Kershaw county, which was ^
held at tnis placo last week, one ,
f
Aaron Williams, colored, was j
convicted of having committed
(1
rape upon Mrs. Langley, a white
woman, and Judge Purdy, the
triil judge, sentenced the pris |
oner to be hanged November 1,
ii
next.
We, the undersigned, citizens
of Kershaw county, firmly and
honestly believing that there ore 1
circumstances aud f 'cts connect- n
ed with this caso which will ap- d
peal to your excellency why tho .
defendant in this casu does not
deserve the imposition of the
death penalty, respectfully petition
your exoelleucy to grant a
reprieve in this case tor at |least
thirty (30) days until we can
make the proper and convincing
shewing why Williams should (
not bo executed, and our reasons i
tberefor.;.
The petition is largely signed.
On October 17th Governor
Heyward declined to grant the
petition for the reason that it
was too general in terms and (
soil today by Dr. W. B. Ciordon!
and Mr. L. W. Boykin.
