AT the May term 1898. of the circuit

county of Perry, j. w. Clark was tried
and convicted on charge OF robbery,
and was sentenced TO serve ten years in

At the time of said conviction sail
Clark was only twenty-three years old.
in good health, but that soon after his
confinement in the penitentiary bis
health gave way and has since that time
continually to the present time been
very bad and that he is not able to do
much work and that he is also..ruptured
and in the year 1900 he had very hard
spell of typhoid pneumonia, from which
he has never sufficiently recovered to be
able TO do manual labor, and he has
very little hopes of ever regaining his
health while he is confined.
During all the time he has been serv-
| ing under said sentence, he has never
caused any trouble to the persons having
charge of him. but on the other hand he
has always been obedient, in the com
pliance with the commands and require
ments of those in whose charge he has
been.
We, therefore, believing that the ends
OF justice have been fully met in his
case, and owing to the impaired condi-
ton OF his health, together with the fact
that he has never given any trouble.
respectfully petition that he be granted
a full pardon.
Very respectfully yours,
