PETITION FOR PARDON

To the Governor of Mississippi, Jackson,
Mississippi:
We, the undersigned citizens of
Holmes County, Mississippi, hereby pc
tition you TO grant unto James Martin
a pardon, and would show to you that:
James Martin was sentenced to two
years in the State Prison at the April,
1899, term of Circuit Court of Holmes
County for the offense of burglary. He
has served in prison since that time
and has given no trouble to the prison
officials. He is young man % years
Of are and has never served a prison
sentence before. His past life and his
present good record as prisoner merits,
we believe, leniency at this time. We
further believe that he has been suffi-
ciently punished for the crime for which
he wcs convicted, and that he will make
a good and law abiding citizen, If he re-
ceives pardon.
Respectfully submitted,
