following reasons WHY such pardon should be
granted to wit;
/. Because the State at the tr ! wholly failed
TO produce any ties imons of guilt no verdict
could be rendered bv the jury. and none was
rendered.
,. Because we believe applicant M W. n
Gibbs is not in fact guilty OF said charge. bur
Yves forced to plead guilty because he was poor
and wholly unable to make bond. and preferred
to take a term in the penitentiarv, ratuer thun
be confined in Jail. open door exercise is
nee ssary for his health rnd life
g. Because while we believe applicant is innn-
cent OF Said charge. by force OF circumstances
and misfor une he has already been imprisonsd
for number OF months upon said charge. and
it is not right or Just that he should longer suf-
FER therefor
4. Because the applicant Is physicallv unable
to standthe hard work required of MIN in the
penitentiafv, and because his Younger BROTHER
has been now drafted in the army. and is
poor Old enfeebled mother up In virginia has
thereand support AID comfort her in her last
days.
