Judge D. 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.’’
