EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
J. T. Humphreys, convicted in the
district court of Navarro county fol
fence cutting and sentenced to the
penitentiary for three years, has been
refused pardon by Gov. Ross for the
following reasons, recorded on the APP
plication
elm this case the guilt of the appli.
cant is conceded by petitioners, and il
seems strange indeed that SO many
worthy, good law abiding citizens of q
county which has suffered so ma
terially from this species of lawlessness
should find it consistent with theil
sense of duty and ideas of justice to
appeal to the executive for clemency
on the ground that this party was the
only one of bad crowd to suffer con-
viction, while his equally guilty con.
federates, by. some means.to me mex
plicable, succeeded in defeating the
justice and escaping the penalty o.
the law"
"The further plea is made in behalf
of this petitioner that he was induced
to commit the offense by older and
wiser criminals, but it does not ap
pear that he was fully able to judge
for himself as to the consequences o.
his acts. / therefore decline to ex.
tend clemency in his case"
