Saint Hail Colubus Ga Negro Sentenced to Hang
Saint Hail of Columbus Georgia, a Black man, faced a hanging sentence for the November 1876 murder of Holmes. Evidence appeared strong, but he now claims penitence throughout 1876 and insists he could not have committed the deed. He escaped the penitentiary in 1877. Records show a prior 1872 sentence for fifteen years for horse stealing, with another escape in February 1877.
