fNS I have serious question about the guilt of Walter Lee Irvin As governor I cannot and will not take his life That In part was the statement Issued by Gov' Leroy Collins yesterday after Circuit Judge Futch ordered a grand jury to investigate Collins action in persuading the State Pardon Board to commute the death sentence of the convicted Negro rapist Collins declared there was nothing to investigate except Leroy Collins judgement and conscience" and added: Both are beyond the control or coercion of a grand jury- Judge Futch ordered the probe on the basis of three petitions signed by 121 citizens of the Fifth Judicial Circuit One of the petitioners was the victim of the rape of which Irvin and three other Negroes were accused The rape case which sparked mob violence back in 1949 Involved a White Bay Lake housewife who was but 17 years old at the time The petitions urged that a grand Jury be empaneled and that Collins be requested to answer a number of questions Judge Futch ordered the probe to begin Feb 24 The petitions suggested that the governor be asked why this leniency was granted after Irvin was twice convicted of the crime and his conviction upheld by both the state and 8 Supreme Courts The petitioners also suggested that the governor be asked the names of the two secret lawyers who investigated the case for him and whether the lawyers were in any way connected with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People The documents pointed out that under Floridas parole system Irvins life sentence can be further reduced and be' could be turned out in a few months Two Irvins companions in the crime-were shot to death one by a posse and the other by Sheriff Willis McCall during an alleged escape attempt The third Negro involved was but
