 Governor Donaghey in his state ment weighed carefully every phase of the famous case, and made clear his reaSons for denying the applica- tion He urges in support of his ac- tion that Ellis actually killed an other man" and that if he sbosld be pardoned on account of i'll health, others in the state penitentiary would be entitled to the same considera- tion; that if Ellis was slightly unbal- anced in mind, as his attorneys at tempted to prove, he is a menace to society and should be confined; that the pitiful pleas of wives and moth CTS cannot govern in such d matter, or convictions would be of no avail.
