Thursday, Nov. IS, at 10 A. Nj.

Among the other matters which will
come UP for the consideration of the
Governor and Council at the next meet
ing which will be held Thursday morn
ing. Nov. II, is a hearing on a petition
praying for the pardon or the commu-
tation of the sentence of Ephraim
Gilman, who is a life prisoner at the
state prison at ThomastOn, having been
sentenced by the Supreme Judicial
court of Oxford county, Aug. A. 1863
for murder in the first degree. Gill
man was a native Of Denmark and was
25 years of age at the time Of his COM
mitment.
! In his plea for executive clemency
| Gilman states that he served two
years in Jail before going to the prison;
! that his conviction of the crime was
! wrong; and that his service of upward
Of ~ years i'll the prison has been Sc
| we're punishment; that he has always
1 conformed to the rules of the prison
\ and been Obedient to the directions of
4 all the officers, and has always labored
| for the interests of the State. He
| also states that if pardoned he has a
good home offered him with a relative
| who is able and willing to take good
| care of him.
| Gilman is one of the 81 prisoners at
| the State institution who are serving
| life sentence for the crime Of murder,
| and with one exception has been con-
fined in the prison longer than any
other convict in the institution, that
/! exception being Joel G. Preble. a ma
tive of Whitcfeld, who was sentenced
oct. :. 1861. from Androscoggin county.

and given II life sentence at ThOmaston
on June II Of that year, his age at the
time Of commitment being IS years.
Il 1t is not understood that Gilman has
i any counsel to look after his interests
in the movement for a pardon, but will
rely wholly upon his petition to secure
executive clemency.
