The telegrams Attorney Cooper and counsel for Alf Moore from
Governor Terrell removing the final hope for any further delay In Jhe exe
cution of J. G. Rawlins and tho negro, are an follows;
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 3, 1*06.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 3, 1906.
Messrs. Woodward, Smith and Crawford, Valdosta. Ga.:
After considering the application for commutation filed by you In
behalf of Alf Moore, I have reached the conclusion that the same does
not furnish sufficient reasons to Justify me In granting any further respite
In the rase.
(Signed) J. M. TERREL!*.
Itawilns waa not only craxv when In-
plotted the murder of the Carters, but
that he Is mentally unbalanced now.
A curious phase of the case Is tl.**
fact that J. G. Rawlins Is so blttei
