Governor Commutes Life Sentence for Will Carter
Governor Ehringhaus commuted the death sentence of Will Thomas Carter, a Forsyth county Negro, to life imprisonment for murder in Mecklenburg county. The decision followed a study based on Carter's chronological and mental age, after his murder of James Davis, a Charlotte storekeeper, when Carter was about 16. The governor offered no grounds, with a formal statement to be released later. Dortch Waller faces execution for slaying a Granville county storekeeper, and Caesar Miller and Taft Williams await fate in other cases.
