The petition further says that he
worked from August 1860 until
June goth of the following year, and
through Perry C. sturm, the State
Of Virginia took It or his hands. He
applied to Virginia for payment in
fun for constructing the turnpike.
The State failed to fulfill its contract
as "the rebellion had at that time
broken out and the affairs Of the
government, particularly In that con-
federate State of Virginia. at that
time was in a very unstable condi-
ton and either through and by alb
solute wanton neglect. or by corrupt
motives, failed, refused and never
did any said claim or any part there
Of"
The petition recites the separation
of the State in 1868 from the old
commonwealth. He then took his
claims before our early legislatures
and was referred to the board OF
public works, before whom with
some fifteen others he proved his
claim. but the legislature again neg.
lected his claim and it has been
tabled ever since.
Mr.. Martin also claimed that
George May, who is now dead, and
who also graded two sections OF the
turnpike had transferred his claim
10 him and likewise Nathan Baker,
who is now dead, had transferred n
claim of s125.OO which had been
proven before the board OF public
works. He also claimed damages
to the extent OF 500 because of
damages inflicted by the construction
of the Clarksburg and Wheeling
turnpike. He then sums UP his ac.
count us follows:
Due G. W. Martin ......... .s40O. 90
Due G. W. Martin. damages. :, 10000
Due Geo. May ............... 256.o0
Due Nathan Baker ............ 1850
That makes total sum of. 1881. 80
and the petitioner asks the legisla.
ture to pay that and the sum of ST.
Ss2,si as interest from the year 1860
on the above sum.
The petitioner submits that there
is probably no legal responsibility on
this State because OF the reason OF
the lapse Of time and that the con.
tract was made with the State OF
Virginia. but when claim that
is Justly earned and due as this one
and no part has ever been paid, there
is moral obligation which attaches
to all the claims and with dictates
the justice of paying all.
