EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
Petitions Before Governor Rey-
nolds for Important Pardons.
JOHNaON AND HUTr Nor eUIITY.

Citizens of Fed Lion Hundred Pray for
the Pardon OF George Henry HUT
and james johnson, Convicted Of the
Delaware City Murder, Because They
are Believed to be Innocent-No Mercy
for miller.
Peter L. Cooper, Jr., counsel, aad a
delegation Of Delaware City people,
waited upon Governor Reynolds yester-
day and asked him to pardon George
Henry Hutt and James johnson, negroes
who are serving a life sentence i'm New
Castle iail for the murder of Noah Ben
son, whose headless body was found in
the Delaware and Chesapeake canal near
Delaware City. The suppliants made no
mention of Dan Miller the other negro
in the case as it is generally accepted
that he was concerned in the crime.
The petition which is signed by sixty
four persons, well known in Red Lion
hundred, is as follows:
'phat the subscribers, residents of
Delaware City, having for several years
personally known George Henry Hutt
and James Johnson, who were. together
with Daniel Miller, convicted at the May
term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer
In and for New Castle county. A. D..
1892, Of murder in the second degree for
numbering Noah Benson on November
26, 1891 are satisfied and believe from
our knowledge of the peaceful and quiet
nature of George II. Hutt and James
johnson, from the evidence produced at
the trial. from facts which have since de-
veloped from the lack of motive for the
crime, from oUher sufficient aud convinc-
ing causes that the said George Henry
Hutt and James johnson are wholly limo
cent of the murder of the said Noah
Benson, and we do therefore petition
your excellency to pardon the said
George Henry Hutt and James Johnson
and relieve them from the term of life
imprisonment which we believe they are
uniustly serving
Accompanying the petition is the af-
idavit of Rensey Waters, taken before
Magistrate Ferguson. Rensey is a pri
soner- He says "While playing cards
with Daniel MILLER IN the county jail at
New Castle I was requested by Dan Mil
Ter to tell his fortune with the cards
After looking at the cards | told Miller
that he was the man who had killed
Noah Benson at Delaware City. Miller
looked much frightened and said Yes,
me and two other fellows, who they have
not caught, stuck the id nigger and
afterwards cut of his head. George
| Iutt and James johnson had nothing
/ TO do with the murder and could not
possibly have known anything about
it,
The governor listened patiently aud
promised to give the matter his earnest
attention.
In this case the question hung upon
/ the testimony of Dr. Formal the blood
expert of the University of Pennsylvania.
he swore that the blood on the rags
found in Hutts house was human blood
