Atlanta, Ga., April 22.-In deny ing tho application for pardon filed by Thomas Edgar Stripling, former police chief of Danville, Va., under sentence of life Imprisonment for the murder of William J. Cornell, Gover nor Drown, in a review ol' the caso made public to-night, excoriates the "unwritten law," which Stripling pleaded in justification of his act as euphemism, presenting, when un masked, "the hiedous features ol' an archy." "One of the most dangerous evils menacing our institutions is lawless ness," declares the Governor. "The mob executing in wild disorder its victim and the Individual wreaking his own revenge for wrongs, real or Imaginary; the man or interest treat ing with contempt the laws of the land and trusting to gold or 'influ ence1 for safety, are striking mani festations of this spirit of lawless ness." While expressing profound sympa thy for Stripling's family and high respect for the impulses which prompted his friends to apply for a pardon for him, Governor Brown says that sympathy and personal friend ship have no right to supplnnt an oath-bound duty to execute the laws of Georgia. Discusses lader Record. Governor Brown discusses Strip ling's life after he broke jail In 1807, and does not find it sufficiently spotless to entitle him to a pardon and continued liberty as his friends had hoped. "Not ono man in several hundred kills one man," says thc Governor. "Not one in five thousand kills two mon and intentionally wounds another, and, while an officer of tho law, ls fined once for opprobi bus language (profanity) and once for violence, towards yet another man. But this is Stripling's record since he killed Cornett. 1 do not say that he was not within the scope of his duties in each of the tragic Inci dents marking lils career since 'ne fled from this State ? hut I submit that they impair the power to claim that lils life in Virginia is above suspi cion and, per se, entitles him to a pardon tn Georgia." Stripling Keeps Silence. Columbus, Ga., April 22.-Thomas Edgar Stripling, former chief of po lice of Danville, Va., who ls confined In the county jail here awaiting the outcome of his petition for pardon for the killing of Wm. J. Cornett, was informed to-night that the Gov ernor had declined to approve the recommendation of pardon by the prison commission. Stripling Unplay ed no emotion, and when asked If he had any comment, merely replied: "I have nothing to say." To (io to Prison Farm. Atlanta, April 24.-Thomas Ed gar Stripling, the former Danville, Va., police chief, whom Governor Brown refused to pardon for kilting W. .1. Cornett, in this State fourteen years ago, probably will be sent to the prison farm at MUledgoville, Ga., to serve a life sentence. Reports from Columbus, where the man ls in jail, are that he ls il) and in no con dition to work on the roads, as old prisoners do. It ls probable he will be removed to-morrow. -~ Unclaimed letters. !
