SENTENCE COMMUTED
Attorney Robert E. Wood received
a telegram from Guthrie today an-
nouncing the commutation of the sen-
tence of Cephas Brunner, to take ef-
fect on April 1 of this year. Brunner
is a negro who killed a white boy at
Violet Springs, for which ho was sen-
tenced to be hanged. At that time l'.o
was but 14 years of age. This was in
May, 1902. On January 14, 1D05, Gov.
Ferguson commuted his sentence to
Imprisonment for life. Later this was
modified so as to release Brunner In
11909, but a letter from the prison phy-
| hlclan was received stating that the
! negro cannot live and he will be re-
leased at the time stated. It is a re-
! markable fact that at Brunner's trial
' he did not have a single witness. It
' is said that the homicide was commit-
ted in a sudden fit of anger, a crowd
of white boys hcving been frequently
tormenting the negro, and he drew a
revolver and shot into the bunch, kill-
ing one of them.
