PO I 11TH HOUR APPEAL cno nnitincMucn IUI\ UUnULWMLU Columbia, June 13.?A strong ef fort is being made, as is often the case in capital punishment cases, to have at least two of the trio sentenc ed to die Friday of this week for the murder of William Brazell, saved 'from the electric chair. However, Governor Harvey has indicated that he will stand against changing the sentence of death imposed in those cases. A petition was presented to tne Governor Monday, asking that Jesse Gappins' sentence be commuted to life imprisonment. Mrs. Gappins, mother of the boy, and a young wo man who stated to the governor that she was engaged to marry the young prisoner, have both been to see the governor, asking that the boy be al lowed to live. A prominent Columbia woman has also taken an interest in the young criminal, and has had much to do with the petition for ex ecutive clemency. But Gappins is not the only one ? ? ? > 1 tnf wnose inenas nave ueeu ao num a*,* him. Mrs. S. J. Kirby, wife of the leader of the murder trio, has called on the governor, with a prayer that her husband might be given an ex amination into his sanity. Mrs. Kirby told the governor that Kirby has a silver plate in his head and was sub ject to spells of insanity. She told remarkable stories of his period of mental weakness and the harm he worked. The governor ordered an in vestigation, but he will not change the decision of the court in Kirby's case.
