Judge Sprague delivered his charge this

Second That no trial by jury was provided

PETITIoY FOR EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.-
The following petition Is in circulation for signatures
The facts presented seem strongly to justify the ex
crcise Of the parloning power vested in the Cover
nor
To HIS ErceHcncy, Washington Hunt GOrerpor Of the
state Of Mar YoJk
We the undersigned citizens OF the city and
county Of NeW-YOrk, respectfully represent that
man named James Wall IS now confined IN the City
prison, under sentence OF death, for the crime Of
murder, Of which he was found guilty by the Court
of Oyer and TemmeT, in the month of April last,
and was sentenced 10 eXplate his crime on the gal
lows, on the 9th of June inst.
Whatever may be the stern demands OF Justice
in ordinary cases OF murder, believe the one now
under consideration presents peculiar claims for the
exercise of executive clemancy, IN consequence o.
the cXtcnuatlng circumstances winch accompanied
the commission Of the crime for which tins untor
tunate man has been adJudged TO die.
According to the testimony presented to the Court
and jury. 1t appears that on the night OF the lIth OF
March last, Wall was in the bar room of James
Campbell, So Centerstreet where he was wantonly
and vigorously assaulted, without warning or provo
cation, bV man named CaSey,--that Wall retreated
10 the door, and was followed by Casey, when they
encountered each other, and that during the fight,
Wall welded an cid shoc-knifc, which, as travel
ing shoemaker. he always carried, and with which
he stabbed the assaant, Casey, who, IN consequence
OF the wound thus inflicted, was carried 10 the City
Hospital where IN five or SIX days he dled IN NJ Oh
deliTiAU7 fTcDatiS,
DR. Lent Surgeon of the Hospital, testified that if
the wound, although bad one had bccnrcceived by
young man OF good constitution, he would have
had under the circumstances, tolerable chance OF
recovery - and Dr. Quackenboss, also of the Hosp-
tai testihed that the death Of Casey not owing
to the wound, but the deiTian tyemeaS.
We would respectfully suggest to your Erceuency,
that the testimony thus presented upon the tnai
concluslyeiy establishes the fact that the death OF
Casey was not premediiated, IN consideration OF
which, the Jury, IN presenting the verdcto OF Gutty'
at the same time strongly recommended the prisoner
10 Mercy which however, His Honor, the Judge had
no power TO grant that holy attribute being alone
vested in your EXcelency as Governor of the state.
We would also state that the mind of the con-
demned man has been so much impaired by epllep-
tic commissions and ntemperance, that shortly be-
fore the fatal ARRAY alluded to- It was deemed neees-
sary to conslgn HIM TO the Lunauc Asylum on Black
wells Island.
In consideration OF the above facts We respectfully
and ardently pray that your Excellency Will com
mute the sentence Of death pronounced against the
aforesaid Wall to Imprisonment for life IN the State S
Prison.
Persons disposed to assist IN procuring signatures
10 the above arc requested to cut II out and circulate
