NEC ) ESCAPES ELECTRIC CHAIR Columbia, A pril 11.-Onthe declara tion of the State Pardon Boards re commendation that "the weight of the undisputed fact is decidedly inclined to the negro's favor," Governor Coop er this afternoon commuted to life imprisonment the sentence of death pronounced on Abraham Williams, a negro, last year by an Orangeburg county Court. Williams was convicted of at tempted criminal assault on a six teen year old white girl near Branchville while she was deliver ing, it is alleged, a letter to his wife. Clemency was recommended by the trial judge and ten of the jurors which convicted Williams. According to the pardon board rec ommendation, the girl is suffering from a disease which causes her to be in a highly nervous condi tion at times. "In its extended re port, the pardon board states that the demeanor of the negro the cir cumstances surrounding the alleged crime and the physical condition of the girl after her report to her parents raise a strong presumption of doubt of the guilt of the negro."
