Petition for Pardon.
State Of Mississippi |
Chickasaw County !

State of Mississippi
Chickasaw County
To his Excellency, Lee M.
Russell Governor of said State.
and the Honorable Pardoning
Board of said State:
We the und ensign d
citizens of said County
and State, would most respect
fully petition the pardon of
Charles j. Wilson of said County
who was convicted at the April
Term, 1921, of the Circuit Court,
of the Second District, of said
County, of manufacturing liquor
and sentenced to the Penitenitary
for the space of three years. We
have known this party for several
years and have always known
him as a peaceable, law abiding
citizen, and he has all along
borne such a reputation, and
this to our knowledge has been
his first offense. He is now about
sixty years of age, and at the
time of his conviction and SEN
tence he was living with, caring
for, and providing for an aged,
blind, widowed mother now
about 81 years of age who sorely
needs his presence, care and at
tention. and further has always
borne such a peaceable, lawabid-
ing reputation, this being his
first and only offense and of
which.he yet claims that he is
not guilty that he was indicted
and same was returned into
court one evening and was tried
the next morning and did not
have the time and means to
secure the attendance of his
witnesses, that after his convic-
ton and sentence he was bailed
out by his friends but was unable,
on account of financial means, to
litigate his case through the
courts and therefore surrendered
himself, of his own volition,
and went by himself alone to the
penitentiary, and has made a
trusty, obedient prisoner ever
since, and therefore respectfully
petition for him a full and COM
plete pardon.
Witness our signature, this
Both day Of November, 1921.
