BE HANGED FRIDAY
G. W. BUNDRICK, OF CRISP COUN
TY, WILL DIE ON THE
GALLOWS.
After declining to re-open the case
of G. W. Bundrick, of Crisp county,
who is sentenced to hang on Friday
and whose application for a commuta
tion has been adversely reported. Gov.
Terrell on Monday appoved ten recom
mendations of the prison commission
which were forwarded to him by
Chairman Turner.
The Uundlck recommendation was
sent up Saturday and the governor at
tached his signature of approval to
the paper thereby sealing the doom
of lhe condemned maft, a well known
farmer. Bundrick was convicted of
the murder of his neighbor, a man
named Shrouder. The two had agreed
to settle their differences by shoot
ing, and meeting on the public high
ways the following day Bundrick emp
tied a load of buchshoUlnto Shrouder.
The murdered man was accompan
ied by his wife at the time of tha
killing, and she, too, was wounded
by the discharge of Bundrick's gun.
Shrouder was armed and his defensa
was that Shrouder first shot at him.
Since 1902 the case has been pend
ing in the courts, and each time tha
decision of the lower court has beea
affirmed. The prison commission, af
ter consideration, refused to interfere
and as a last resort of Jude U. V.
Whipple, of counsel for the condemn
ed mdn, appeared before the governor
urging him to re-open the case and
set aside the recommendation of tha
commission.
Governor Terrell refused to open
the case, however, and Bundrick wth
be hanged tomorrow unless other eras
plioations arise iu tha meantime.
