Woman on death row spared after long clemency saga
The case of Mrs Edwards and Greason faced repeated appeals from the board of pardons and courts without relief for the woman. In 1905 a governor fixed February 16 for execution, but after a confession and exoneration of Greason a special law led to Greason’s acquittal while Mrs Edwards remained under sentence. Her newborn daughter was later adopted by a wealthy woman.
