That the rq^ommendation of the board of pardons to Gov. Blease, in which the board says, "From the statements made to us by tae matron and the prosecuting witness there are grave doubts arising in our minds as to the guilt of the petitioner on the charge convicted." .shows to disinterested and unprejuuiced minds thai there are otrers who agree with his view of the case.

T. .Jennings, surgeon of the same, we have this day visited and 'examined Mr. R. A. Richey, now ecu- i fined in the hospital of the peniten- , j tiary. We would report that we find ' * " i f Mr. Kicney sunering iroin a marneu ( neurosis, that the same closely sim-1 ulates a true paralysis.

We do gc not believe this condition will be j ci improved so long as Mr. Richey re- j C? mains a prisener in the penitentiary. if We do believe that freedom, outdoor cc exercise, etc.. would restore him to as good a state of health as he has 1 a] t enjoyed for the past ten years. i tv ' Respectfully submitted, I aj (Signed) "A.
