CONDEMNED NEGRO T
MAY GET REPRIEVE
Jake Johnson, Rapist, May
Not Re First Lethal Gas
Chamber Victim.
Hailv Hureiui,
In '»'»•«• Sir %%’iiUit Hofei,
By J. H VSKIOIt\ I M<
Raleigh, Dec. 11.—Friday, the thir
teenth of December may >»ot. prove to
be an unlucky day for .lake Johnson,
alias George France, Negro rapist
from Rockingham county, now under
sentence to die in the State’s new
lethal gas chamber Friday morning.
FOr present indications are that a
temporary reprieve will bo granted j
Johnson unless the State Supreme |
Court should this afternoon hand j
down a decision in the Kd Jenkins i
case, which will decide the identical !
question involved in the Jake John
son case —as to whether both Johnson j
and Jenkins were properly sentenced, j
Both Johnson and Jenkins committed
their crimes before the new lethal gas
execution law was enacted, but were
tried and sentenced after its enact
ment, with the result that they were
sentenced to he executed by lethal
gas.
The judges who sentenced both Jen- .
kins and Johnson evidently believed
the law applied to all tiied and sen- I
tenced after enactment of the lethal
gas execution law and accordingly
sentenced them to death by lethal
gas. But attorneys for Jenkins did not
agree with this interpretation and ap- (
pealed to the Supreme Court. Johnson
did not appeal, however, with the re
sult that his death warrant now calls ,
for his execution Friday morning at j
10:30 in the new lethal gas chamber ,
jn Central Prison here. i
But Warden H. H. Honeycutt wants j
to be sure of the law and that John
son, was properly and legally sentenc
ed Before carrying out the execution.
Accordingly, he has asked Attorney j
General'A. A. F. Seawell to advise
him whether to proceed with the exe
cution. But Attorney General Seawell j
is not yet sure as to how to advise !
Warden Honeycutt, since the Supremo j
Court has not yet passed on the Jen
kins case. He is hoping the Supreme
Court will hand down a decision in
this case this afternoon. If it does not.
he may advise Warden Honeycutt to
ask the governor to grant a reprieve
to Johnson until after the Ed Jen
kins case has been decided. If he does |
that, it is believed a temporary re
prieve will be granted for Johnson. |
So whether the new gas chamber :
will be used for the first time Friday !
and whether Johnson will be its first :
victim, now rests with the Supreme
Court or the governor.
