SION OF FINES.
The pardoning power vested in the ex-
ecutive has been exercised by me in but
one instance, that of Jacob Smith, of
Polk county. convicted for the offense of
shooting with intent to kill, and SEN
fenced to the state penitentiary for the
term of one year. Entering upon his
sentence February 5, 1884, and pardon
issued the Goth of September, of the
same year. In this case, the provoca-
ton to crime was great, and while it
does not justify. yet serves to extenuate,
and my action in the premises was based
upon the petitions of large number of
the citizens of said county, fourteen
members of the grand jury by whom he
was indicted, and upon the recOmmen-
dalton of the prosecuting attorney and
the district judge who passed sentence
upon him.
The power of communication has been
used by me in two cases. viz: George
Hart, under sentence of death, from Hall
county, and John r. POlin, under SEN
tence of death. from Cass county. In
these two cases the sentence of death
was changed to imprisonment for life in
the state penitentiary. My action in this
matter was determined by letters filed by
the judges of the supreme court, who
were unanimous in recommending that
such action should be taken, and with
the opinion that 1 would not be war
ranted in disregarding recommendation
coming in such manner and from such a
source.
In the matter of the remission fines, /
have acted in but one instance. At the
October term, 1882, of the Gage county
district court, one G. E. Clifford, was
fined $50 for the crime of selling in
toxicating liquors without license. 1t

preference for building in naples. 1t is
true these trees are more numerous than

the question very clearly. One after

in the different trees as we passed them,
with view to this particular point, and
the result was as follows: In the trees
of various kinds she counted eighteen
nests. The remaining one hundred and
