PETITION FOR PARDON.

To His EXsellency, Governor Lee NJ.
Russell, and the Mississippi Board OF
Pardons:
We, the undersigned citizens OF
Lowndes County, respectfully petition
and urge you to grant a pardon to
Mr.. A. l.. Holley, who was convicted
on a charge of the manufacture of IN
toxicating liquor at the April Term
Of the Circuit Court of Low1des
County, Mississippi 1921, and sentenc-
ed by the court to serve two and one
half years in the State penitentiary
and we assign the following reason
for so doing:
1st. Mr.. Holley was convicted on the
uncorroborated testimony of an alleg-
ed accomplice, who was equally as
guilty, if guilty at all, and given only
five months. We feel that Mr.. Holley
should have received the same SEN
tence as his alleged accomplice.
End. Mr. Holley is practically a
confirmed invalid, being unable to
perform manual labor, having suf-
fered a spinal injury about six years
ago, from which he has never recover
ed
3rd. Mr.. Holley has wife, who is
also an invalid, and unable to work,
and earn a living for herself and her
two boys, who are eight and twelve
years of age.
4th. His family aside from being
unable to earn a living, has not
whatever upon which to exist, and
will be charge upon charity.
5th. We believe that the ends Of
the law will be met by an immediate
pardon of Mr. Holley, since there is
grave doubt about his guilt, and for
the reason that he is thirty -eigh'
years old, and has never heretofore
been charged with, or guilty of viola
ting the laws in any respect, what
ever. He has borne a good reputation.
and has been a good citizen all his
life. He is connected with one of tho
best families in Lowndes County, and
his pardon would meet with the APP
proval Of a large majority of the GO
law abiding citizens of the country
and for other reasons to be assigned
at the hearing.
Respectfully,
j. VI. GEORGE,
W. l. MCCLELLAN,
A. NJ. HEALM,
