Plea of Convicts.
The documents filed with the secre-
tary of state yesterday in Majors be-
half read as follows:
Many of the inmates of the Utah
state prison have a deep and profound
sympathy for Abe Majors, alias James
Morgan, confined here under sentence
of death. and who. by order of tho
court. will be executed on the eth day
of July, 1899. The prisoner is young
man. scarcely q years of age. and was
convicted of the crime of murder ON
the 18th day of May last. From the
facts, as we have learned them. we feel
that there are many extenuating cir
cumstances connected with the commits
sion of the crime, and for that reason
believe that his sentence should be
committed to life imprisonment and
have determined to appeal TO you to
aid other clergymen, to whom we have
made a like appeal, in securing a COM
mutation of sentence, should you feel
justified in doing so. after an examin-
alton of the facts in the case.
we do not detail the facts and cir
cumstances connected with the COM
mission of the offense because we be-
lieve you can get more complete and
satisfactory account from other
sources. We are confident that when
you have concluded your investigation
of the causes which led up to the COM
mission of the crime you will feel that
the case of this young man is one in
which communication of sentence would
be a wise and merciful exercise of ex-
ecutive clemency.
We have made a like appeal to Revs.
III. Il. Steelman. +. G.. Hunt and George
Bailey, c. T. Brown and ]. W. Taylor.
and should be glad to have you confer
with them as to their views on this
case"
Both papers were of the same pur-
port. and endorsed upon the first was
the following:
Governor Wells-I am decidedly in
favor of the change to life imprison-
ment.- Sincerely,
LEWIS b. COATES"
Upon the other Rev. C. T. Brown en-
dorsed this:
Il am opposed to capital punishment
on principle, and / therefore respect
fully petition you to change this SEN
tence to life Imprisonment"

an exhibition which will not satisfy
the crowd. Such objections can easily
be met by putting in pacemakers or
putting time limits ON the races. 1t is
customary in open races for the pro-
moter to put up a small prize or purse
for pacemakers and loafing can be
avoided in this way. As the programme
now stands, all the professional events
are scratch events, with the exception
of the five-mile handicap.
