MIR HovE,s PLEA FOR CIBL1N.

Albany, Aug o1.-William T. Howe appeared before
Governor Hill this morning and argued the applica-
ton for Executive clemency for Charles Gibn, James
Nolan and John Lewis, three OF the five murderers
now confined in the TOmbs, New-Iork City awaiting
execution on Friday. In the case Of Giblin, Mr..
Howe asked for a suspension of the execution OF his
sentence, in opder 10 give the speaker time to ask
for new trial and to collect more evidence IN ah-
dition TO that already in his possession which was
not presented on Gblin's trial. At the trial Goeh
swore that he did not have pistol in his possession
at the time of the murder Of his wife By Gbln, but
since then two women who lived over Goehs bake
shop swear that the pistol with which the killing was
done belonged TO Goez, and was obtained by Gibln
after it had been wrenched from Gocz and had fallen
to the floor, and that Glbln used it in sehdeience
Mr. Howe said he thought that in the trial many
essential points were overlooked which would have
been greatly in favor Of the prisoner, among them
being the fact that the - counterfeit Dill was never
proluced at the trial, and there was no evidence 10
show that it was counterfeit; neither was inc pistol
Assistant District Attorney Parker, OF New-i ORR,
onnosed the application, reviewing at some length
10 evidence given at the trial The cases Of both
Nolan and Lewis submitted TO the Governor,
with a plea for clemcncy, no new evidence DeHs
At the conclusion Of the argument on Giblhs
arnIicatiOD the Governor said he would grant nm re-
site for sixty DAYS until October % The apphca-
IONS in the cases Of Nolan and Lewis were denied
