for elemency is signed by prominent men
of all parties, and the strongest feature OF
the plea is that the time already served by
Mackin is fully commensurate with the
crime. The petition leads off with the fol-
lowing letter from Mackin:
q" ILLINOIS STATE PENITEETIARY, WARDEN's
OFFICE, JOLIET, ILL.,, Jan. 81, 1S3T.-H0R. Il.
J OJtesby, Governor Of TtyiR0iS-Dear Sir: /
address you as an applicant for q pardon.
shall not presume to present any argument for
your consideration. L will plead no merit;
simply prefer the request and say this, which
seems to me to BE properi For any offense
which I have committed against the laws OF
the land I express sincere regret, and pledge
myself that should you see your way clear to
grant my prayer, my future endeavor will be
to so order my ways as TO win the
appreciation of all good citizens. 1 shall
hope, should your eXcellency interposa the
power vested in you to shorten my term, that
1 may in some measure repair my Shattered
fortunes and in a legitimate business con-
tribute to the support and happiness of my
family, and to these ends l shall devote my
life. Humbly beseeching your favorable con.
sderation, am, sir, with great respect, your
obedient servant, JOSEPH c. MACKIN."
The petition is signed by Judge Moran,
who presided at the trial, all the members
OF the special grand Jury, all but three OF
the Federal petit jurors who convicted, the
Federal and State prosecutors, most
of the members of the Federal
grand jury, several judges of Cook
County, United States Senator Far
well, the mayor of Chicago, the CUSTOM
house and post-ofice officials of Chicago,
the editors and proprietors of the leading
Chicago papers, large number of Senators
and Representatives of the General Assem-
bly, IN Chicago and throughout the State,
and a vast number Of other prominent per-
sonages
The Governor has not announced his de-
cision, but the fact that he has allowed the
papers to be perused by the correspondents,
contrary to all precedents in pardon cases,
is taken as an evidence that he intends par
don. and, in fact, it is difficult to conceive
how he can refuse in the face of the almost
unanimous plea for clemency

MURDERED BY ROBBERS.

the Killing of Mr.. Smell at Chicago.
ST. LOUIS, Feb 13.-At Marissa, H., yes.
terday, when the family of Mr. George W.
Guthrie, one of the wealthiest
and best-known citizens of Southern Hi.
nois, returned from church, a daughter went
TO his room, where she found her
father lying dead on the floor with
bullet wound through the heart,
and the carpet and his clothing saturated
with blood Suicide was at first suspected,
as Mr. Guthfies revolver lay on the floor
near the body, but an examination showed
that the object was robbery. 1t is believed
that the nurderers saw the family when
they started for church, and, supposing that
the house was deserted, entered and went to
york on the safe with their drills. Nh.
Guthrie, it is supposed, heard them and
went into the room with his pistol drawn
and was overpowefed and murdered, after
which his pockets were rifed and the MUIR
derers fed The appearance OF the room
shows that there was struggle. But llttla
of value was taken
