Raleigh, July 31 (AP)—Governor McLean deplores as “one of the most unfortunate results” of the Cranford trial “the effort made by a few people in the state and by some newspapers outside of the state to create the impression that the charges made by the convicts as to wholesale killings by Cranford were not only true but typical of general conditions prevailing throughout the state under a system fostered by the state itself.”
Serious damage has been done the reputation of the state by these efforts, declared McLean.
