The San Francisco call., 1897-11-04

OF said Sternberg in said Superior Court, he
was for long period of time incarcerated in
the County Jail of said City and County OF
San Franc. SEQ. Your petitioners further state
that the said Sternberg Is II native OF the State
OF California: that his parents are residents
OF said City and County OF San Francisco, and
that he has heretofore been good citizen,
and has always, previous to his said convic-
tion, borne go' reputation for truth, hon
estly and integrity and that he was the main
support of his aged farhe' and mother.
Your petitioners believe that the said Stern
berg has been sufficiently punished for the
wrongdoing charged against him and we are
confident that If pardoned he will conduct
himself as law abiding citizen. and that he
interests OF the community Will not be preju-
diced by such an act CT clemency on the part
OF your Excellency.
We assure your Excellency that if in the ex.
ercise OF your prerogative OF pardon this
young man should be set at liberty justice
W l. not suffer and your Excellency viii nave
exercised an act OF mercitul clemency IN
proper cause.
We feel assured that investigation of all the
facts will demonstrate that the crime for
which said Sternberg was punished was one
! acking in criminal intent, and in view of the
! TACT OF his punishment TO this time, his past
good record and the eminent respec Ia bi lity OF
his family, upon the members of which his
! disgrace falls keenly, we feel warranted In
asking this act of mercy VI on your part
since the incarceration of said Stern
berg the wife OF said Sternberg has died, while
her husband was absent from her SIDE, IN US
adding TO his punishment, misery and grief,
and adding another reason for the exercise OF
executive clemency.
Your petitioners therefore earnestly request
that the pardon be granted.
