moJt remarkable cate* that baa ever
come to light in thia state developed in
the aopreme cohrt, and aa h result the
necks of the ten colored tpen under sen-
teuce of death in Laurens county for
the murder of Thornton Nance some
months ago, will be saved. They were
sentenced to bang on Oct. 24, but the
attorneys appealed to the supreme court
and the motion was to suspend the hear
ing in the supreme court and transfer it
back to the circuit court. The ground
of this motion was the confession of an
other colored man, Henry Sober, who
was recently arrested, to the effect that
he alone was the murderer.
His affidavit stated substantially that
he was at the Pitta church on the
night of the murder; that shortly after
the meeting he started to his home and
when about a quarter of a mile from
the church he was overtaken and as
saulted by Nance. Then and there he
says he shot Nance and killed him. He
says he is not related to any of the con
demned men. but feels that it is his
duty to make known the facts, in order
that innocent men may not suffer on
his account. He says, farther, that
any statement or statements that other
tiersons were implicated ill the killing
but himself are false, and concludes Ills
affidavit with the statement that, when
the tune comes for the trial for hu life,
he will give all the details, and show
that there was absolutely uoconapiritor.
He gave this affidavit to the lawyers to
Iw naed as they might think advisnb.e
for the sake of humanity. The su
preme court decided the motion, and
