In the Equitable building, Will Johnson will never be executed, for there Is-no May 24 on the sheet. In the place where 24 should be there stands out In glaring figures the num ber 25; following It there are two :«’s. The freak of the printer, which Is a very unusual one, especially In the case of the large and handsome calen dars sent out by the Central railroad, ns discovered l>y Attorney Stephens rlday while looking to see how much more time he will have In which to take the case before the pardon board. If I was superstitious," said Mr. Stephens, “I might let the matter rest, believing that the omen la a good one In evidence, as Abe Lincoln once In troduced an almanac, and prove that Johnson can not be legally executed because tHere will be no 'May 24.' ” Put not your faith In signs and omens," liowever. Is a motto to which Attorney Stephens religiously adheres, and he and' hla associate, Walter Mc- Elreath, are making all haste to get Johnson’s rase before the pardon board before the calendar by which the court governed showa that May 24 haa ar rived.
