The President laid before the Senate the !
following communication from the Gov
ernor:
STATE or LOUISIANA |
Executive Department ,
New Orleans, January ii, 1915. |
TO the Honorable President and Members of the |
Senate:
submit for your advice and consent the |
pardon of Samuel NJ. Williams, now con-
lined in the Parish Prison of this city, under
sentence Of imprisonment for life for muir;
der. The circumstances attending the COM
mission Of the crime Of which Williams was
convicted we're of so peculiar nature as to
convince the executive of the propriety of
the sentence OF death originally |
passed upon him to one of Imprisonment.
The mother and relatives of the man whose
life Williams took have since united in an
earnest appeal for the unconditional release
Of the condemned man. Petitions to the
same effect haue been presented to me from
Governor Ames, of Mississippi, Ex-Governor
WarmOth, Ex-Governor Hahn, large num-
Der of clergymen and church members,
most Of the State and federal officers and
several thousand citizens of New Orleans.
Though fully impressed with the necessity
Of very sparing exercise of the pardoning
power, especially in cases of capital convio-
ton, deem the representations made in
this case, taken in connection, with the
feeble condition of the prisoners health, go
weighty that feel justified in submitting
or your action the pardon OF Samuel NJ.
Williams.
WILLIAM 2. KELLOGG.
Governor.
Objections being raised, the oommunica-
ion lies over.
There being no other business before the
senate, executive session was raised.
