PETITION FOR PARDON.

To A. Fl. LONGING, Governor,-The.
undersigned WILLIAM JACKSON, re-
spectfully petition you to grant him a
pardon, and as aso therefor, states
the following:
He was convicted at the special
term of the Circuit Court of Lafayette
county, held in January 1902, of muir
der on a Joint Indictment OF himself,
| Whit Owens, Will Mathis and Orlando
Lester, for the killing of John A., and
Hugh montgomery, and was sentenc-
ed TO imprisonment for life in the
| State Penitentiary, for said alleged
crime.
He is innocent of that crime, and
would not have been convicted but
for the fact that he unfortunately
happened to be at the scene of the
! tragedy, only. a short time before it
occurred, and that fact, coupled with
the testimony of Orlando Lester, was
under the high state of telling then
existing, seized upon, and relied on,
as evidence of guilt.
On his trial, win Mathis and Mrs.
Cordie Mathis, both testified that pc
titioner. while there o short time be-
&c the killing, had left and was not
there when the killing took place and
had nothing whatever to do with it.
Orlando Lester testified against him
but. as he was being carried back to
| iail after his tie stimony against petit
TONER, told the two deputy sheriffs
who had him in charge, that he had
sworn falsely against petitioner, and
had done so only, in the hope of clear
ing himself that he (Jackson) was
not present and did not have anything
to do with the killing. With that ex-
IGNITION. every eyewitness, including
Orlando Lester to the killing of the
Montgomerys, has said repeatedly,
and invariably, whether speaking
orally to private persons, or by sworn
written statements, or when testify
inc in omen court on their various
trials that petitioner is innocent.
These statements have been followed
M and confirmed in a way, that no
fair minded person can doubt their
truth by the fact that on September
24th. 1902, Will Mathis and Or
laudo Lester were in the course of
being hanged for said crime, and while
on the galIoWs, with moose about their
necks and but a few moments before
tbfir souls were ushered into the pre-
