! Despite all that is said and all that

In this country at least many Chi
nesc not entitled to residence here as
of the lawfully resident class, and they
have entered in ever way that can be
imagined"
1t is urged that the exclusion laws be
merged into the general immigration
law, so that the administrative process
of expulsion therein provided may be
used.
There arc also 4 number of other
recommendations which the commits
sioner says may be considered reVolu-
tionnry but are regarded as necessary
if the law Is to be effective and salts

During 1909, 6,3sS Chinese were regu-
larIy admitted, against 1924 In 1908,
3.255 in 1907. and 2132 In 1906 The
worst feature the commissioner says.
Is that the increase is almost confined
to classes the members of which arc
or soon become laborers and whose
residence here violates the spirit OF the
law.

off from the two previous years. the
commissioner says Is reassumlnS nor

the place where the body was found
and where Smith said it occurred.
but without going further into the
evidence, it is admitted by all connect
ed with the case, as / understand the
facts. that without the testimony OF
Smith there could have been no con
viction. And yet Smith has since the
conviction of Dorsey, johnson and
Pines declared that his testimony
against them was false and that they
were innocent OF the crime OF which
they we're convicted, and he went to the
chair protesting their innocence ana
his own.
1T is believed by every one connected
with the case that Smith was guilty OF
the murder, but he was confessed per-
jurer, and the Judge in sentencing him
declared that he was a perjurer, and no
human being can tell whether he told
the truth first or last, and this IS the
condition which confronts my con-
science and involves the lives OF three
men. If all these facts had been be-
fore the juries trying the cases, l would
have less difficulty in reaching con-
clusion, but they we're not, and after
the most careful thought, | am in such
a frame of mind that, while l do not
think the prisoners entitled to pardon,
| do not think it just TO them, who are
poor negroes, or to the commonwealth
which only desires to punish those GER
tainly guilty, TO permit them to be
electrocuted, and thus put correction OF
any mistake which may have been
made out of the power Of the state II
the mystery which now surrounds the
murder of Schultz shall ever be cleared
up.
Holding these views and desiring
to give as much force and effect to the
verdict of the iuries and the decisions
of the court as may be consistent with
them, in execution of the power con-
ferred on me by the constitution OF the
state to grant pardon and communication
after conviction, / have committed the
sentences of Dorsey, Johnson and Pines
to Imprisonment for life.
