CASE DECIDED AGAINST HIM
Commander Johnson was First

Method of l>elay Seems to he

Jolmsan's attorney in his appeal
from Judge (Jake's decision refusing
a new trial on the ground of misconduct
on the part of the jur> , have (
been refused:
"Commander Johnson, the white j
man wju^t gas'convicted of having
killed Uev. Harmon Grainger in 1
Horry county, will be hanged. The ]
supreme court yesterday handed J \
down the following decision: j<
The State, respondent, vs. Com !
niandcr Johnson, appellant, All:1
motions refused and judgment of '
circuit court aflirmed. Opinion by j*
Kugene 11. Gary, A. J "
Tlie people of the county have
been very anxious to learn the outcome
of the last appeal taken in
the case, and the many friends of '
the late flarman 1). Grainger, i
since the matter of the preacher's 1
character was brought in issue, have 1
been interested and trying to keep
up with the ease.
The matter has been settled so
far as the supreme court is concerned.
The appeal has been decided
against Johnson und nil motions 1
have been refused. As Johnson
was to have been hung on May 11th
and that day has passed by reason
of the proceedings in the supreme
court, another day will have to be
fixed for his execution, and so far J

nothing hus been said as to when 1
he will hang. J
A brief history of the ease in the
courts is as followsHe
was found guiltv at the fall
term 11105 and sentenced to be hanged
in December following.
He gave notice of appeal from his
sentence of death, and this stayed
his execution, but the appeal was
never perfected by his attorney, and ti
the appeal was dismissed. 1
A* ?i.~ ? ' 1 1
iuu spring wrin li'UU, 1116 lie?
fondant's attorney made a motion
for a new trial on tho ground of s
misconduct on the part of the jury
that tried Johnson and many alii
davits were read, but Judge (Jago
refused the motion and Johnson was
resentenced to be hanged in April.
From this an appeal was taken to
the supreme court, and it was this
appeal decided adversely to Johnson .
