Jurors Sign Petition.


 "rhe jurors that tried the cases are signers of the petition in Fillmore Coun- ty. Besides I have had conversations with quite a number of the very best citizens of Fillmore County, some of them were in sympathy with the state in the prosecution of the cases against the de- fendants. inspired by desire to see the law vindicated, and the guilty parties punished. All those people are unan- imously of the opinion that the execu- tive should extend clemency to the three defendants, Howard, Strength and Full Ter. They say that the conviction of the parties has demonstrated that in Fillmore County where there have been so many outrages against the law the law can In a proper case be upheld, and that the courts are not pawerless to protect people in their person. liberty and prop erty. Further, that the ends of justice have been attained by the punishment already endured by the defendants, and some of them are of the opinion that If further punishment is insisted upon the just administration of the law In the flu ture will be jeopardized. That Is to say, the sentiment that so strongly favored the trial and conviction of the persons engaged in the mob, will be turned against convictions in such cases in the future. I have mentioned these different phases or the case 10 snow the COnultlOn of public sentiment In respect to the cases
 Ask a Parole.
 Without sharing in all the opinions advanced, I have reached the conclusion that 1t will subserve the ends of justice if parole Is granted to the three, George Howard, John Strength and Mar tn Fuller.
 T therefore recommend that your Ex- cellency take this matter under consid- eration and that parole be granted them.
 I also think that on account of the peculiar circumstances connected with the case of Abe White, who plead guilty to an assault with the intent to mur- der John Thomas, that a parole ought to be granted Abe White. He, 1t will be remembered was one of the negroes, a brother of Robin White, that was pres ent when the exchange of shots was had between Robin and Thomas, and Thomas testified that Abe shot at him.
