NOBLE EFFORT TO SAVE ANDERSON Attorneys Blackwell and Richey in Columbia. PETIOFNED GOVERNOR Strenuous i'.?mi to Huvc I><*<itIi Sen. fence Co III muted to Life Impris onment in state t'eiiltcntiury. As stated last weck, au effort is be in* made to save .lohn Henry Ander son from the gallows. The matter now rests with the board of pardons, since the appeal last Wednesday to Governor Ansel. in all likelihood the governor will appoint a lunacy Commission to examine Anderson; it the commission decides t hat he is not possessed of sense to render him a responsible being, then it is very likely that ho will be senl to the asy lum or to the penitentiary. Regarding the visit of Messrs. Richey and Blackwell to Columbia last week, ami their appearance be t?re Governor Ansel. The Columbia Record has the following Interesting story: "Attorneys Ulockwell and Richey, of the Lnurens bar. were before Gov ernor Ansel today, armed with a pe culiarly strong petition in behnlf <>r h negro named .lohn Henry Anderson, under sentence to be hangt d at I,au reus April !'?! for the murder of his father-in.law. .los.h Cnrter, whom An derson shot to death a: Cedar church in I.aureus county a few months ago. ' !t was a clear case of murder, but the extenuating circumstances are so strong thai since the tacts became known, following Anderson's convic tion, many of the best citizens of the county have joined in a big petition to 'to governor to have the death sentence commuted tu lifo Imprison ment. Among the letters is a strong one from Mr. C .C. Feather stone, who stiys he heard the trial of the ease, but is convinced that, although it was a just verdict in view of the evidence brought out. he is satisfied since the trial that had the Jury known all the facts it would have recommended An derson to mercy. Mr. Feathorstono earnestly urges commutation to life imprisonment. There wore not less than 250 names to the petition upon which Messrs. Waekwell and Richey based their plea. "Govornor Ansel will refer the pa pers to the solicitor and judge and tie! on the case when bo gets their recommendations. if the govornor does not grant a commutation i! is likely ho will appoint a lunacy ('?Im mission to pas;; upon Anderson's men tal condition. Messrs. Lllackwoll and Rich-y wore appointed by .ludgc I' e to defend (ho neuro, and not y did tbi' without compensation, .t th y came hero lodn> at their own xpeusc, and are so thoroughly per suaded that the neuro should not get the fuli penalty of the law that tiny offer to pay IhO expenses of a lunacy commission. "The CUBC is of peculiar interest as showing the terrible ravages typhoid fever is milking in some of the rural districts among ignorant negroes. There bad been bad Idood between Carter and Anderson for some Hum. Carter, who is said to be a particu larly mean negro, had taken Ander son's wife ami children away from him and had not only repeatedly re fused to allow them to go back to Anderson, but had forbidden Ander son to come to see them, running him away and attempting to kill him when \ndcrson came to try to see his child, Which was dying of typhoid fover. it was at the funeral of tlx* second child which also died of typhoid fever thai the killing occurred. And an affidavit from a physician Who attend ed both Anderson and his children says (hat Anderson bad fust recovered from ;t Severn ease of typhoid fever, which lefl hi- mind unbalanced. When Anderson went Ibid the church and git/.od on iho dead form ? era/ed with anger and. rushing 011?. shot Carter ami killed him. and (.lieu ran off crying at the top of bis \ (doe.
