STATE LOUISIANA
Executive Department ,
New Orleans, April %, 1875.
To the Honorable President and Members of the
Senate:
submit for such action as you may deem
proper The petition for the pardon OF John
Matthews, sentenced by Judge Abel. No
vember, 1874, to the Penitentiary tor one
year, for petty larceny. If the Senate cor
eur, will issue pardon to him.
WILLIAM +. kELLOGG,
Governor.
To Lis Excellencv William P. Ke e., Governor
of the State of Louisiana:
The petition Of the undersigned residents
OF the city of New Orleans respectfully
shows that one John Matthews was tried
and convicted before Hon. E. Abel Judge
OF the First District Court of this city, and
By the said judge sentenced to a term OF
one year in the State Penitentiary on q
charge. OF petty larceny. That tie said
John Matthews is well known to these pc
titioners aud is the only support Of an aged
mother. That this being his first otfense,
and in consequence CT his extreme youth,
he being bat sixteen years Of age, his case
is deserving of executive interposition.
That his mother, who is about to remove
froIn the State, promises to take said con
with her, with q view to remove from the |
evil effects Of bad company, to which his |
present condition is attributable. That the |
sentence is somewhat severe for the otfense |
charged, AID the consequent infamy is a |
terrible inhiction at his time Of life.
Wherefore, the premises all considered, |
these memorialists pray for executive il. |
terposition, there being just claim for the |
exercise OF clemency In behalf OF the SAID |
John Matthews, which these petitioners ara |
assured your excellency will not dsregarti |
And as in duty bound, etc, your memo |
rialsts will ever pray,
