Negro Youth Saved From Chair.
Columbia, May 5. ? Governor Mc
l.cod today commuted . from electro
cution to life imprisonment the sen
tence of Bradford Boyd, Richland
county negro, who had been convicted
of assault with intent to ravish. May
4th was the day" set for the elec'tro
tion.
The governor's action was based on
petitions of many prominent "citizens
including the doctor who examined
the young girl who was alleged to
have been the object of this assault.
The extreme youth of the negro also
entered into consideration of the case.
It was pointed out that the boy,
who was only 17 when he was con
victed, had been seiifUing with the
young gill over some bolts. It was
this scuffle that resulted in the charge
but it was alleged that the crime had
never been consummated.
The incident which resulted in the
charge against the young negro took
place in Richland county, near Bla
ney.

"There is no more infallible proof of
a shallow mind than* its curiosity as t . ?
