March term of Coweta Superior Court
for the murder of Amos McLaughlin,
also colored, on Sept. 27, 1912, will ex
piate his crime on the gallows on Fri
day, Jan. 2-unless Gov. Slaton should
decide before the fateful day arrives to
commute hia sentence to life imprison'
ment. Tbe case was carried to the Su
f ireme Court, but the judgment of the
ower court was sustained by tbe higher
tribunal, and Bexley must go to tbe gal
lows. There is grave doubt in the minds
of many people as to whether Bexley was
the real culprit in this case, and it is
understood that a strong plea for com
mutation will be filed with the Gover
nor on behalf of the condemned man.
McLaughlin's wife is now serving a
life sentence as an accessory to the
crime.

to have the will of said deceased admit

day, certain heirs claiming an interest
in the estate having filed a caveat upon
the original hearing at the regular De
cember term of the court. No evidence
attacking the validity of the will was
introduced by tbe caveators, and judg
ment was therefore entered ordering
the will to record as proven in solemn
form. The caveators will appeal the
case to the Superior Court, it is said.
Two witnesses to the will, J. P. Bohan
non and L. A. Hill, have died since the
instrument was executed, and one of
the witnesses to the codicil, W. D.
Hamrick, is also dead. The estate is
understood to be worth $12, (XX) or $15,-
000, the property consisting chiefly of
farm lands in the Third district.
