dition to the confession Of Professor Webster,
which we publish in another part of this paper,
the following petition, which had beer previ-
ously offered, is published in the Northern
papers: .-
Petition Of DR.. Webster.
To his Excellency the Governor, and to the
Honorable Executive Council of the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts:
John White Webster convict, under SEN
tence of death, in Boston Jail, in behalf of him
self and Of his wife and children, respectfully
petitions that the sentence awarded against him
by the law may be commuted to such other less
horrible and ignominious punishment as your
honorable body may mereifully decree.
Your petitioner fully admits that he was tried
before a fair and impartial tribunal and under
the law as exists, his jury, composed as it was
of honorable and high-minded men, could have
returned no verdict other than they did. But
he respectfully reminds your honorable body
that the two great moral ingredients Of the
crime of murder-malice and premeditation-
have never been found against him by asjury,
but have been necessarily inferred by the arb1-
traryrules of the law, from certain general facts
which your petitioner will not deny, but the ex-
tenuating details of which no man in your pc
titioner's situation can ever possess legal evi-
dence to prove. These details your petitioner
has confded to the friend who presents his peti-
ton, with authority to state them to your hon.
orable body, in the hope that you will find there
in reason to extend to your petitioner and his
family that mercy Of which the law has made
you the dispensers. And your petitioner will
ever pray.
