was Governor of Tennessee to ask him to
pardon her husband from the penIten-
tiary. She said he had been sent up for
stealing some sides of meat He was
utterly worthless, she admitted, no good
in or out of the penitentiary, but she
was extremely anxious to have him re-
leased.
why do you want him pardoned II
he's no good?" asked the Governor.

Fuller went on in that strain for some

was used to, and ordered something else.
