"Bob'' Hardeman, i. in Atlanta representing Jefferson 'coun ts' in the legislature, heard the sound of the hammer and saw on the gallows that was to accomplish (Zibbons' death she wired to Atlanta. "They are going to hang that negro in the ball park within a stone's thmw of our house,” she excitedly informed her husband. "I want you to see the governor and stop it.” Following instructions explicitly, Representative Hardeman called on Governor Brown late yesterday after noon. learning that new evidence had been unearthed favorable to the negro's ease. He came away from the execu tive office with a two weeks respite for Gibbons. While Hardeman had never repre sented the negro in court, he had of late taken some slight interest in the case, but It was the urgent telegram from his wife, protesting against the hanging in the ball park, that really influenced him to plead with the gov ernor for clemency.

He said: "Gibbons was represented >y a law yer appointed by the court, and his de. sense was most perfunctory. All the facts in the case did not go in by any means. I expect to have all the facts here next week," and it was for this reason that the governor granted a reprieve. • "I might not have called on the gov ernor yesterday If I hadn't received the telegram from Mrs. Hardeman. She wanted that ball park hanging stopped, and J had to do my best to stop it.” Ptomaines in Food Poisons 6 at Table: Rushed to Hospital Mother, Daughter and Four Oth ers Suffer Tortures After Eating Sliced Dried Beef.
