Allen Bracket and his wife were given seven
years IN the Penitentiary and the boy one year.
Since that time Allen has been serving his sen
tence without a murmur. and has tried to do. in
an humble way. all that has been required Of him.
While under the laws Of the State If Mississippi
he was technically guilty Of the ofense, It Ia, and
always has been thought, that Allen was forced
by his wife TO aid in this act: so Il Is doubtful
whether he was really guilty in reality.
Petitioner further states that he has been serv-
ing his sentence faithfully for a period Of nearly
three years, and that he has Viven the authorities
no trouble since he has been there and that he be
lieves that his punishment from a sense Of hu-
manity has already been ample punishment for
the part that he took in that unfortunate affair
and that he has now 2eached a verv old age and IL
now unable to do much work and that his time
cannot be very much longer on earth.
Wherefore he earnestly prays that your Excel
