ALBANY. July 16.-There was no hearing to-
day on the application OF joseph Chapleau. the
pinttsburgh murderer for executive cemencY
Gov. Hill simply took the papers fled with the
application yesterday, and late this afternoon
announced his reasons for committing the
denth sentence to one OF Imprisonment for life.
as follows
This application for executive clemency Is
based upon petition signed by many OF the
lending citizens OF Clinton county, including
nearly all the county officials The County
Judge strongly favors the application, and the
District Attorney does not oppose It. The
twelve jurymen who rendered the verdict
against the defendant also unanimously unite
in asking for Communication. While the evil
dence clearly establishes the killing by the de-
PENDANT yet there remains some doubt as to
the degree OF his guilt and tho extent OF his re-
sDonsibity for his acts at tho time 1t must
he conceded that verdict OF murder In the
seconi degree would have been a safer and
moro satisfactory verdict. The previous good
should also have some weight in a case OF this
character where different constructions OF the
Defendants acts are possible 1t Is clear that
oil the evidence was not FULLY developed upoh
the trial. and tho defendant was to some eL-
tent preIudiced thereby. BY reason of these
and of other facts which have been reasonably
well established before me. aEi convinced
that the ends Of justice will he better subserved
