No One Reprieved
Poor Earle Belue
f'oulmbia. May 22. ~A thirty-day
reprieves for Paul Johnson and Hay
Colemun, under M-ntenco to die tonioirn?
for murder of Karlty Relue,
Spartanburg payroll clerk, was aigne 1
today by (Jiaernor John G. Rich'
ard.i.
Immediately afu-r Governor Richurd*
signed the papers, his secretary,
J. Austin Latimer, left Whe offiae
for the state j^iitontiary to carry
the news to the mi n who are confined
in the death house.
Coleman and Johnson were convicted
of killing Belue in an attempted
holdup to secure a textile mill
payroll at Spartanburg.
Governor Richards said h'e had sent
his secretary to t he prison to impress
Coleman and Johnson with the idea
that then thirty-day reprieve did not
mean they would jjgeessarily escape
the electric chair.
"I "nave not decided yet what 1
will do." the governor said.
He conferred tins morning with attorneys
for the condemned men,
Claude Taylor and J. J,. Thompson, of
Spartanburg, and with Senator J. R.
Rryson of Greenville, who has been
retained to aid in getting a commutation
of the death sentence.
Oak Tree Served
in Two Extremes!
\V a I ha 11 a, S. <\, May 2d.?As citizens
of Oconee county gathered at
the court bouse this morning for the
convening of the special term, of
court to try alleged lynchers of Allen
Green the story went the rounds
that the oak tree to which the negro
was tied on the night of April 22
by a determined mob which a moment
later took his life wTTTT a volley
of bullets once sheltered him at
one of the happiest moments of his
life.
Some fifteen years ago, Green had
been convicted of a statutory offense
against a white woman and sentenced
to 1.2 years on the chaingang. At
the end of six years, the Oconee
county gang happened to have a camp
on the same little stream near where
he was lynched and Green was a
member of the gang.
A good worker, and likewise bearing
a good reputation as a prisoner,
his si-X?years of service earned for
him a parole. Today's story chronicled
the fact that when the county
supervisor approached the. negro to
read him the glad tidings of his freedom.
Green was seated beneath fhe
-aim- tree which a few years later
was to hold his body up to receive
buflets from a mob's guns.
