a Pardon sketi For.

Gov. Hayward has been asked to
pardon John Martin, negro who was
convicted of murder in Beaufort coun-
ty in 1895 and was sent to the penlten-
tiary for life on the jury's recommen-
dation to mercy. Martin was accused
Of killing man for the purpose OF
robbery and with having burned the
body. The petition to the governor
recites that the evidence was clreuln-
stantial and that there is grave doubt
Of the negro's guilt.
