Sarah E. Dixon, of Johnson county, who has been serving a life sentence ! at the state prison farm for murder, | was pardoned. She is bedridden from ! disease and it is said she cannot live long. There was a peculiar miscarriage of justice in the case of Will Smith, of Walton county. He was tried for murder ar.d the jury brought in a verdict of guilty with the recommen dation that he be imprisoned for one year. Of course there is no such sen tence for murder in Georgia and the judge had to sentence him to life Im prisonment. Members of the Jurv wrote the prison commission stating that they had intended to bring in a verdict of involuntary manslaughter because it was evident that Smith did not intend to kill.
