THE GOVERNORS REASONS.

THE GOVERNORS REASONS.
The Governor this morning CAV
out the following as his grounds 70
committing the sentence TO life i'm

The prisoner. Joseph Thomas
alias John Wright, is poor.
friendless Negro, without money
and without influence This fact
has induced me 20 give this matter
fuli and thorough examination. /
respited him for three months In
order 20 give every opportunity
for additional evidence 10 be pro-
cured. il possible, in this case. /
sent for the husband and the lady,
upon the whom the assault was
committed, to satisfy my mind and
conscience fully in this matter.
After questioning her and her nus
band, whose evidence alone pro
cured a conviction; reading fully
the evidence in the case; the opin-
ion Of the judges OF the Supreme
Court OF Appeals, and especially
the additional evidence filed as to
the guilt of the prisoner, and con-
sidering the fact that the assault
was committed between 8 and $3.50
O'Clock, when IL was dark and
difficult to clearly and definitely
identify persons, IL has established
IN my mind a serious doubt as to
the Identity and guilt Of the pris-
oner. IN addition the foreman of
the jury, person of unusual intel
hgence and fairness, and a great
many OF the influential citizens of
Alexandria county requested that
this Communication be granted on
account of the doubt as to the f.
Identification of the prisoner. Hence
/ conceive il TO be my duty to COM
mute the death penalty in this case
10 Imprisonment for life.
Il have filed before me as new
and additional evidence the afida-
Wits OF nine persons, whose evil
aonce, if true, would show that
the prisoner could not have been
present when the assault was com
mitted. The evidence of these
nine witnesses establishes an alibi
which creates a serious doubt as
10 the Identification of Joseph
Thomas, alias John Wright, as the
party who committed the assault.
These nine witnesses all concur
in testifyjng that they saw Joseph
Thomas, alias John Wright, the
prisoner, prior to 8 o'clock, and
until about O'Clock. during which
time the assault was committed.
The fact that the original evil
dence before the court and Jury
induced two members OF the Court
OF Appeals to declare IL was an
insufficient Identification of the
