Posthumous pardon rejected in 1911 Charleston case
South Carolina officials rejected a posthumous pardon for Daniel Nealy Duncan who was hanged in 1911 after a rushed trial for the murder of Max Lubelsky on King Street in Charleston. The board deadlocked 3-3, five votes needed, despite appeals by Bart Humphreys and supporters calling Duncan innocent.
