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.
