I lay before you a case in which Executive clemency is prayed -- and you will see its merit by reading the letter of Mr Chambers to you & the indorsement of it by the Comths atty. Mr Dupuy --

Under the decisions of the Court of appeals no Successful defense could have been made to the Sci-fa --

I understood that veryreason has been used in other applications for remission of penalties but this is the first time I have ever applied for a remission of one

by letter or petition -- Mr Gaslin who is the applicant for remission in this case is a Gentleman of integrity. and I most cheerfully indorse his application -- and hope you will grant it --

Most Respectfully Yr. Obt. Servant A. W. Gazlay
