HARPER GETS
ANOTHER RESPITE
John Harper, who has twice
before been respited, has been
given another lease on life.
News was received here Wed¬
nesday that lie had been a new
trial, and if this be the case, he
will get the hearing at the Au¬
term of Murray superior
The Atlanta Georgian, among
things, says:
“As John Harper, the con
demn'ed Murray county murderer,
was being baptized in the Tower
Wednesday morning and was
taking part.in religious services,
literally on the brink of eternity,
Governor Smith sat in his office
fn the capitol, little more than a
block away, signing a paper that
grants the doomed man another
lease on life—for one week.
This respite snatches Harper
from the gallows and will act as
a safeguard until Friday week.
In the meantime Governor Smith
will make a thorough investiga¬
tion into the case and will decide
whether he will grant Harper
still another respite in order that
his counsel Attorney Samuel
Hewlett, may make an extraor¬
dinary motion for a new trial on
newly discovered evidence. The
Murray county superi*r court will
not convene until August and
the motion can not be made until
this time. If the governor should
consider the evidence of suffi¬
cient merit, he will prolong the
respite to give the prisoner an¬
other chance for life.
Every possible effort is being
brought to bear in behalf of the
condemned man, and no stone
will he left unturned to save
him from the hangman’s noose.
“Harper has had a remarkable
experience during the past few
week’s having repeatedly expe¬
rienced the varying emotions of
joy and sorrow. In his fight for
life ho has seen the gallows loom
before him, as all hope would
suddenly vanish and it would
seem that he must die, while
again his spirits would rise buoy¬
antly as the sunshine of hope
would come into his heart and
the blackness of his gloom would
lie dissipated by another chance
to live. It was just such a trans¬
formation that he went through
Wednesday morning. Thorough¬
ly resigned to his impending fate
and feeling that all hope had
tied, he was suddenly transformed
Into a being of joy and hope by
the news that he hyd been again
respited.
