has been prepared by counsel for the con.
demued man:

Tho undersigned respectfully ask par
don for Thomas J. Cluverius, who has been
sentenced TO death by the Hastings court
OF the city of Richmond, for the alleged kill
ing of i. l.. Madison.
They make this request because they be-
lleve the evidence on the trial was wholly
insufficient to justify his conviction, and be-
cause his blameless life repealed and dissipa-
ted whatever of suspicion was created
agains. him, and because they believe him
innocent of the crime imputed to him.
