PETITION FOR PARDON.

To Theodore G, Bilbo. Governor of the State
Of Mississippi and the Honorable Par
doning Board of the State of Mississippi
Gentlemen we, the undersigned citizens Of
the State of Mississippi and the County Of
Noxubee, do hereby petition the Governor and
the Honorable Pardoning Board, that par
don be given to Katharine Lockett, sentenced
to a term of life Imprisonment, under the
charge of murder, sentenced at the Special
Term of the Circuit Court of NoXubee County
in April, 1918.
Your petitioners would state that she killed
her husband George Loekett who mean
and dangerous negro, who kept her in con-
slant fear. That George Lockett was the kind
of a negro who carried gun to kill 4 white
citizen of this county, and was constantly
armed for this purpose at the time Of has
death. That he had beat nhs wife terribly
before they went to bed, and threatened her
as soon as he got up and she got up at night
and took the gun he had been carrying for
the white man and shot him That we believe
she believed that he would have killed her if
she had not got him first, That she is hard
working negro, with very little intelligence
hardly responsible for her acts That we be-
lieve she removed menace from the white
people of this section when she killed her hus-
band and we believe that she has been pun
ished enough. and that if pardoned she will
make a Woodworking and useful laborer. She
has five small children dependent upon her for
support
