The Neshoba Democrat., 1913-05-22
TO HIS EXCELLENCY
GOV. EARL BREWER
JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI

We, the undersigned officials of
the 9Th 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
wears. That at the said time he was
poverty stricken negro, had no
means to make Il defense, and that
upon the advice of friends he plead
guilty. That at the trial at which
he plead guilty there was disposl-
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,
II. A. Irby, ct al.

This means that all of the CON.

OF cotton shall be 27 inches wide

w. T. Ross, chairman of the

present upon notice that every

port, at any port from Montreal

ter than u x 81 inches would be
penalized 81 per bale.
On account of the firm attitude
of the steamship agents on this
point it will be well for all ex-
porters of cotton to take notice
and be governed accordingly.
1t would also be we'll for all

this proposition is to pay 81 per
