PETITION FOR PARDON.

State of Mississippi. Noxubee County.
To His Excellency. the Honorable Earl Brewer.
governor of the State of Mississippi:
We, the undersigned petitioners and residents
of Noxubee county. Mississippi, would most re-
specially petition your Excellency to grant a par
don to one. Melvin Roberts. who was convicted of
manslaughter at the August term, of the
circuit court of Noxubee county, Mississippi. We
believe this is a case where executive ciemency
should be exercised. and that while the defendant
was technically guilty. the provocation was 40
strong that we believe that if the proof could
have been gotten before the Jury that 4 verdict
would not have been returned. being on account
of the wife of Melvin Roberts.
Respectfully submitted,
