Jurors Did 2ST Petition J. Wade Drake Pr?senta a Stron Protested Against Pardon Wh il It has been a matter of common re port lit this county for several years that the Jury which convicted Allen Emerson favored capital punish ment for him, but that the accused was saved from execution by u recommen dation to mercy, and that In signing this recommen??t Um the Jurors hound themselves by a solemn oath never to sign a petition for a ardon or a reduc tion of sentence. J. Wade Drake, son of the much loved "Uncle Tommie" Drake who was killed by Emerson, ycbterday de clared this to be a fact, as he had learned from Jurors themsVfvos.
