instant has the following to say as
ec- to the present status of the Mcjn
Dowell case:
The hanging of Robert McDowell,
the nogro who killed
' Flagman Milieu about a year "
<u* ago, haa been postponed by the I
Governor to March 17th, at the

further leniency was granted f

try seems to be a strong sentiment
by that he should be imprisoned lor

citizens have written tho Goverllts
