the ground that at the time of the killing OF
Miller he was under the influence of liquor,
and, being of low order of intelligence, was
not entirely responsible for his actions. Ely
ler's youth and the fact that his young wife
has, since his conviction, become a mother
are cited as further reasons for mercy.
