Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 114+--Eryin Pope, a. negro, has .enfered upon a life term in prison after five convic- tions of .murder: in the first degree. The crime was committed .in 1909, The victim. was 'J. B. McClurkin, a farmer of Calhoun County. On tech- nical errors the supreme court rever- sed four verdicts, but confirmed. the fifth verdict." Three times the gover- nor respited the "man and finally commuted . his - sentence to life im- prisonment,' giving . as ' the chief ground for this action 'that: blood- stained Shoes found in Pope's house soon after the. murder aud: used as state's .evillencé against' him' did not fit him.. .: 'Anent this it is remarked that mary mégroes in the South wear shoes piekéd up by gift or otherwise regardless 6f fit. At the time of the murder setiment * was: so ' strong against Pope that ke was brought to Birmingham for: safekeeping. Thirteen times a date was set for Pope's execution and 'he 'watched the building of two of the scaffolds fronr his prison window. The case made a statewide :reputation: for two young lawyers for the defence, one just out of Yale. Although. Pope heard his death sentence read eight times he never lost netve' or hope, but smiled each time and declared he would never be hanged, because he always wore sus- pended from his 'neck' the left hind foot of & rabit killed in a graveyard on a moonlight night of Friday, the 13th of the month. Frequently every day he fondled his rabbit's foot with the boast: '"They'll never hang me so longi ag I wear this conjure; it will save me from the gollaws no matter how many trials they put over." Even when witnessing the erection of scaffolds for his execution he gazed smilingly and confidently on his rah- bit's foot and declared: "Nothing do- ing for that structure." It was rumored that MecClurkin's hostility: to 'blind tiger traffic in his section led to his murder and - that Pope was merely a tool. Since then the chief. of police of Anniston, in Calhoun: Cotmty, .who. was a relent: less foe of blind tigerism, was mur- dered' by.'a negre and strong infli- ence was: brought to save the murder er, but he was hanged. Reports con- pect the, two cases as to motive. On the. way to the . peniténtiary Pope kissed' his rabbit's foot tender- ly and thanked "it for 'saving him from the scaffold. Man's Little Day. W. W.
