TO HIS ExCELLENC\
GOV. EARL BREWER
JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI

We, the undersigned officials of
the Sth judicial District of the state
of Mississippi and of Neshoba coun-
ty, Mississippi, would most respect
fully show unto your eXecelleny the
following facts, to-wit:
That at the Sept. 1910 term of Cir
cult court of Neshoba county, Jessie
Bell Plead guilty to manslaugher,
and was sentenced to the penitentia-
ry for period of three and a half
years. That at the said time he was
poverty stricken negro, had no
means to make a defense, and that
upon the advice of friends he plead
guilty. That at the trial at which
he plead guilty there was DISPOSE
ton upon the part of the court and
the prosecuting Attorney to be leni-
ent with the said Jessie Bell for the
reason that there were many mitti-
eating circumstances surrounding
the same, and we feel that he has
been sufficiently punished for the
crime committed. and would most
respectfully ask that he be granted a
pardon by your excellency.
Respectfully submitted,
r.. A. Irby, ct al.

Smith? Should it lose itself in

a love of the country, knowl-

The Parade Itself.

The post of honor in the parade
was given the cadets battalion from
West Point Military Academy. Their
band of fifty pieces headed the 500
gray-coated, black-plumed cadets,
with stiffly-starched white sashes-
the personifcation of military "spick
and span" neatness. A fluttering of
feminine hearts and shrill cheers and
loud hand clapping from feminine
threats and hands marked the pro-
gress of the West Pointers.
Following the cadets were troops
and bands of infantry. %,
BY the time President Wilson
reached the White House the avenue
was filled with swarms of blue-coated
soldiers, artillery troops and cavalry.
While the presidential and official
carriages flower through the "Court
of Honor" and into the White House
grounds to deliver their occupants for
the formal luncheon to the new exec
utives, the parade was halted at the
north side of the treasury department
building, at Fifteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue ..a
t.. Review Began at 2:45. -
"Close ranks" were the order sent
down the avenue by madly, scurrying
mounted aid. The various sections
of the parade, forming into line from
side streets near the capitol, extend
ing for dozen blocks in all direc-
tions, were then marched to mass
tightly. They waited an hour while
luncheon was served in the White
House to the new president and his
party. .
When President Wilson, at 2:45.
assembled into the presidential review
ing stand in front of the White House
the parade was started again. = ~.
"Hail to the Chief" were the strains
of the opening march, played by the
famous Marine Band-the "Presi-
dents own" Grand Marshal Wood
and his staff first passed by the presi-
dents box, with swords in salute and
"eyes left" to view the new comman-
der-in-chief. The music of the West
Pointers swelled louder as the cadet
battalion approached, with their
guns at port and their "eyes to the
left" sr'
Every member of the military
branches in line presented arms as
they passed through the "Court of
Honor" and under the eyes of the new
president and his staff. ~.
BY careful advance orders use of
"Hail to the Chief" played by almost
every band in past inaugurals upon
passing the president, was limited to-
day to the Marine Band. Maryland,
My Maryland, was played by the
Fifth Regiment Band Of the Mary
land militia; "Tammany'' by the New
York bands, and other distinctive
state airs, including some rag time,
furnished musical medley.
