years in the penitentiary. The petit
TONERS declared the prisoner was
weak minded and easily Influenced TO
do wrong, and expressed the opin-
ion That the negro WIS not 'respunsi-
Bile. The governor thought that In
view OF the fact that Richards sanity
had not been questioned until he was
convicted, executive action could not

1907, and given twenty years for his
crime, stirred up a hornets nest with
her application for u pardon for him.
Examination of the records at the
penitentiary showed that William had
been dashed on thirty-four different
occasions for his various offenses in
the penitentiary since 1907. among
orderly conduct, fighting. profanity.
impudence. carrying knife to his
cell, talking to women prisoners.
stealing shoes. shooting crap and re-
fusal to work. Needless to say, Will

petition in his favor was based on the
fact that he was but a mere stripping
when he killed a desperate character
who had two notches on his gun. The
governor refused to pardon Henry,
who was convicted in 1908, on the
ground that sufficient of the sentence
had not been served for serious con-
