acquittal of both defendants.
I'm view OF the above, and acting
on the theory that States at

administration of justice are not
necessarily fulfilled when a trial
ends and the defendant is SEN
fenced, feel it is my duty to, and

that the said Frank Cowens and
Paul Courtney Fugitt be granted
pardons for the alleged crimes fol
