John P. Hume, wearing a brilliant
diamond, and hidden in an elegant

Congressman Babcock, and followed
closely by Game Warden Brown,

connection with the testimony given
at the trial, it clears up many other
wise dark, discriminating words, acts
and movements.
1t seems to me, that had he given
in court, at the trial, the full, CON-
plete statement of his crime as he has
now given it to me, weighed with the
many corroborating circumstances
then known, his punishment would
very justly have been less than that
for which he is now confined.
He has now been in in prison at

punishment has been Severe-perhapS
not too severe, but still. in view of all
the circumstances, his previous good
character, his age at the time of the

uniform good behavior, / feel that
may freely and with justice unite in
his prayer for the exercise of executive
clemency.

the following statement FOR use upon
such appicaton:
Marvin NJ. Fenner was convicted OF
the murder Of john L. IeSler at the
May term Of the circuit court of Wooo
county, in the year 1883, Hon. John
r. Bennett being the Judge presid-

Wood county at the time. and had
the principal charge of the proSecu.
tion,
The case on the part of the STATE
rested entirely on circumstanlia
evidence, was wholly unclntradictet
or explained, and was amply sufficient
under those circumstances to sustain
the verdict Of the jury Of guilty OF
murder III the first degree" and the
sentence of the court.
The defendant, Fenner, was not
called, and gave no testimony at the
trial. The only evidence presented by
his attorneys was to the effect, that
up 70 the time of his being accused Of
the crime in question, Fenner hae
sustained an unqucStionably gooc
character.
The element of premeditation, es
sential to constitute the crime ot
murder in the first degree, was to bt
inferred from many unexplained act'
and statements of Fenner, prior t
the homicide, as we'll as subsequer

pretty conclusive at the time. and yet
| have always recognized the fact
that there were some serious defects
in the claim that Fenner started out
with Hesler, from Hesler's home, with
the idea of disposing of him in such
a way as to leave him (Fenner) free
to convert the mule team to his own
use. The motive has always seemed
inadequate for a young man of his
previous character, standing and
future prospects: and the fact of pre-
meditated design is inconsistent with
many, many acts of unreserved opennes
while on the trip preceding the death
of Mr.. Hestei; for instance, driving
around among the logging camps, and
calling at least twice at camps after
midnight to inquire the way TO Au-
5t.sndaie When Mr.. Iiesler was with

uneXplainable on the theory OF pre-
