To his Excellency, Governor A. II. Lon
gino, Governor of the State of Missis-
sippi:
We, the undersigned citizens of Perry
county, Mississippi, and vicinity, re-
spectfully petition your excellency to
pardon Isham Boothe, convicted of
arson at the October, 1901, term of the
circuit court of the second judicial dis
trict of the county of Perry, state of
Mississippi, and sentenced to term of
five years in the penitentiery, for the
causes set out below:
First Because his conviction rests
almost entirely upon circumstantial
evidence of an indefinite, unreliable and
misleading character, upon which we do
not believe conviction should be al.
lowed to stand;
Second. The principal state witness,
Will Lang, is wholly unreliable and
unworthy of belief, and but for his evil
dence, we do not believe a conviction
would have been permitted to stand;
Third. We believe, as a matter of
fact, that the said defendant is innocent
of said charge and was enormously con-
victed, -because of testimony unworthy
of belief (not criticislng court Or jury:
and
Fourth. We believe, that although
the defendant were guilty, the ends of
justice have been met,-that he is re-
formed and will make a law-abiding
citizen from this time forward; and we
believe his record in the penitentiary
will confederate this view.

of bad fix with regard to the build
ing of the main line of the road
northward. Laurel and EllisviIle

and it was the original intention of
the company to build by the former
place, but the citizens did not mani
fest the expected interest and a
survey was made by Ellisville and
right of way and donation secured.
Now Laurel comes up with the
promised donation and right-ot-way,
and the company is at loss to know
where to keep faith. The two towns
are only a few miles apart and it
would be impracticable to build
through both.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept. 1.-The people of
Amite county are now wondering
what has become of Sam Ford,
negro mule thief, and the suspicion
is rife in many minds that Samuel
met death at the end OF the halter
which was originally attached to the
mule he stole. A few days ago the
negro walked away wsth q mule be-
longing to prominent planter in
that county. He was captured and
carried to the house of the local
justice of the peace for trial. While
the justice was making ready for the
trial on the inside of the house the
prisoner was chained to a post near
the gate. The court announced
itself in readiness for the hearing,
but when the officers went out to get
the negro they found he was gone.
1t has been impossible to ascertain
whether Ford slipped his shackles
and escaped or whether some of the
neighbors decided to anticipate the
popular verdict and hanged him. AT
any rate, he has not been heard OF
since his disappearance.
