Governor Atkinson and a Hanging Case Debate
A Georgia opinion piece questions Governor Atkinson's actions in a case where a white man was hanged for killing a despoiler of his wife, arguing two Supreme Court justices favored a new trial and noting the wife’s testimony was traditionally excluded. The writer accuses the governor of possible improper motives or bias and contrasts the pardon of a double-convicted black man for rape with the execution of a white attacker. An advertisement for Dr. J. H. McLean's Liver and Kidney Balm follows.
