PETITION FOR PARDON.
To the Pardoning Board of Missis-
sippi and

AZ ttt afuo1tHk DOAEU VI nlsSi3~
sippi and
His Excellency, T. G. Bilbo,
Governor of Mississippi,
Jackson, Miss.
We the undersigned citizens OF the
State of Mississippi, and of Yalobusha
County, most respectfully petition
YOUR HONORABLE BODY for a
pardon for George Goodwin, who was
convicted Of MANSLAUGBTER at
the-------------------- of the
Circuit Court, in the Second District
Of Yalobusha County Mississippi and
that the November Term of the Su-
preme Court affirmed the verdict and
the findings Of the lower court, said
sentence of the Court was FIFTEEN
YEARS in the penitentiary.
We are familiar with this case, and
we are very much surprised at the
verdict of the jury, and we believe
that the findings in the case of Mr..
Goodwin was a miscarriage Of JUS
TICE. We are also reliably informed
that part of the JURY that tried
Mr. Goodwin, in place Of discussing
the merits and evidence in his case,
repeatedly discussed another murder
case that was tried some six months
prior to Mr. Goodwins' wherein the
Defendant was represented by the
same COUNSEL that represented Mr..
Goodwin, said Defendant was &C.
quilted. and several of the Jurors in
Mr.. Goodwin's case were still dissatis-
fed with the verdict of mot GULL
TY" in that case. Mr.. Goodwin has
lived in this county practically all his
life, is FORTY THREE years OF age,
and is of splendid family. He has
always heretofore borne a good repu-
tation, quiet and accommodating, and
it is simply beyond us to believe, that
he acted other than the situation and
circumstances forced him to act. For
said reasons we join in this petition
praying full and complete pardon
for Mr. Goodwin.
Respectfully submitted,
A. b. PORTER,
It. DAVIS,
l.. X. McNAMEE,

Many physicians believe that any
one who has a bad cold should be
completely isolated to prevent other
members of the family and associates
from contracting the disease, as colds
are about as catching as measles.

himself Of cold the less the danger
and you will look good while before
you find a better medicine than Cham
