Special to The Times Democrat
JACKSON, May lO.-In the case of
DR.. r. G. Penn, convicted in Copiah
county for the murder of Rails and
sentenced To he hug on the 18th of
this month, the Governor to-day
committed the sentence to imprison-
ment in the peni,en,iary for life.
The communion was based upon n
petition embracing the bar and
county officers of Copiah, together
with large number of citizens,
among whom are many of the most
prominent men of the county. 1t is
said that the jury that tried the
case was remarkable for intelligence
and integrity, and it is believed
that their statements since the con
viction had much weight iu inhuen-
cling the Governors action. They
were not charged by the court that
it was their province to fix the pen
atty to Imprisonment for life, if they
saw proper. and this charge was not
asked for either by the district attor-
ney or counsel for the defense, and
upon this point eight of the jury say
to the Governor by petition
We, tho undersigned jurymen, who sat
upon the trial of X. G. Penn, who was
convicted of murder at the April term of
the Copiah Circuit Court, 1884, and upon
whom the death penalty was pronounced,
would respectfully represent to your Ex-
cellency that while we concurred in the
opinion of the defendants guilt, it was
not our purpose To render a verdict which
should be followed by the death penalty,
but thought that imprisonment for life
would be Il sufficient and adequate punish
ment. With the view of ctfecting this OBJ
iect we added to our verdict the plea OF
mercy, thinking that upon that plea the
court would fix the punishment to I'M
prisonmemt in the penitentiary for life. In
consideration of the premises We respect
fully petition You to commute the death
sentence to imprisonment for life
These petitions, taken IN connec-
tiOn with numerous other forcible
appeals from citizens of every voca-
ton in life, showing almost unani
nous public sentiment in favor of
communion, are the basis Of the Gov
ernor's action.
All the circum stances of this case
considered, the Governor has proba-
bly, done the right thing.

Murder Most Foul.

The usually quiet town of Magno
liza, is in considerable ferment on
account of i most foul and brutal
murder that was perpetrated by an
unknown party last Tuesday night
upon the person OF L. L. Traube, a
lawyer of our town.
1t seems that about 10 o'clock,
Tuesday night, he undertook to 90
from the post office to his home
which is some four squares distant
and across the railroad.
The particulars so far "a developed
at the Coroner's Inquest were as fol

About 10 o'clock on Tuesday
night last three pistol shots were
heard in rapid succession, and the
cry of murder" emanating from a
point between the residence of Traube
and the house occupied by James
Ballard. Persons who went imme-
diately to the spot from whence the
sounds proceeded, discovered the
dead body of Traube, not far from
his own house, with two pistol shot
wounds in his left side. He was ly-
ing on his face, his walking cane
tightly grasped in his right hand,
his lantern and spectacles lying
about ten steps behind him, al
which latter point he was probably
shot. A large augur apparently
new, was also found near the lantern
