Appeal Denied to John Harper by Georgia Supreme Court
Chief Justice W H Finch denied the writ of error sought by John Harper, the Murrey county murderer who had escaped the gallows previously. The move aimed to take his case to the U S Supreme Court, with questions about certiorari and clemency avenues remaining uncertain. Harper remains in Purdom county jail awaiting possible further actions, including potential clemency appeals, though commuting to life imprisonment appears unlikely.
