For twice has the day of his execution -been fixed by Judge Roan, of the supe rior court, and twice have the higher courts Interfered and granted a respite. In the first Instance Johnson's case as appealed to the supreme court and a stay of execution was granted until that body could pass upon the Judgment of the lower court. The de cision of the lower court was affirmed by the higher power, three members of the court declaring that Johnson should hang, while two rendered dissenting opinions. Johnson waa then resen tenced and the day of his execution was set for Friday, May 24. Again the aid of a still hlghor power was Invoked and the attorneys repre senting the negro laid the case before Che pardon board. The evidence to prove Johnson Innocent which tho at torneys laid before the commission, coupled with the petition for clemency signed by Solicitor Hill and many of the Jurors who found Johnson guilty, caused the pardon board to grant a res pite until the case can be further In vestigated. The board ha* not yet taken action In the case and some weeks may elapse ■before Johnson's fate Is known,. Attorneys Alex Stevens and Walter McKIreath, who represent Jdhnson by appointment of the court, are convinced that he Is Innocent of the crime with which he Is charged, and Lave made a brave and determined effort to gWe him the benefit of the doubt and aave 1 his life.
