Sam Greer - Will Not Hang Now
The Negro, Sam Greer, who was convicted of murder at the last session of Butts Superior court, and sentenced by Judge Boynton to hand on 21st. inst., will not stretch hemp at that time. His attorneys made a motion for a new trial, but it was not granted and the case has been carried to the Supreme Court of the state. Sam will rest in jail till the Supreme Court confirms the decision of the lower court, when he will be re-sentenced. Then he will have to answer for taking the life of a fellow man.
