E, Hydrick Asks for Pardon for Emma Holloway, a Negress. Columbia. June 19.—One of the most remarkable pardon petitions which has been presented to the gov ernor’s office in many years i« that which came in today over the signa ture of the trial Judge himself. Judge D. E. Hydrick, who asks for the par don of Emma Holloway, an Edgefield negress convicted before him and giv en two years for killing a negro man with a water pitcher she picked up on the street. The man had been arrest ed for criminally assaulting the wo- ^man’s ten-year-old daughter, but had been released by a magistrate with out a preliminary trial. When she asked him about it on the street the man insolently told her he had crim inally assaulted the child and that there was no help f'- • it, whereupon she seized a water nitcher lyin* on the sidewalk and struck him a lick on the head which instanly killed him. The judge, who told the jury they must bring in a verdict now recom mends a pardon on the ground that the woman did not intend to kill the man. that she acted under great provocation and because a ^ardon would encourage juries not to. violate their oaths and bring in verdicts ac cording to so-called “higher laws.’’ Unclaimed Letters.
