denies one fact and by implication admits an
other. This plea is bad unless the view taken
by DIR. Merriek is correct, thar the proclama-
ton Is open TO all offenders whenever they

This, IN his opinion, was not the proper con-

swers this by admitting that some inc ictnnent

set out teat % was net under indictment al a

Something had been said in reference TO the
powers of the President to grant parsons. BY
reference TO article TWO, section two, Consutu.

conferred such power, and several proclsma.

was taken from the President by the act OF
