the condemned man, and believing that
there are at least reasonable doubts as to
the guilt of said Phair of the crime for
which he stands charged, humbly petition
your eXcellency to further extend the re-
prieve to such time as will give the legis-
lature next to be holden in this state en-
opportunity to make such investigation
into the matter and take such action as may
seem to them just and wise.
