He has served already more than twenty years of his term, and now begs for executive clemency. The judge before whom this convict was tried is dead. The convict does not remember the facts of the case further than that he was accused of having rdobbed another negro of two twenty-dollar bills. He says that there were no witnesses ex- cept the prosecutor and himself. Thos. Watts defended him.. The old darkey says he has had a good record during his confinement of more than twenty years, as during that time he has had to have only three whippings.
 The governor would be glad to hear from any one who remembers the facts in the case.
