 | Page 1Vicksburg Miss. To his Excellency Sir I herewith present to you the substance of the testimony adduced on the trial of the case of the State vs Nathan Gibson. I do so for the purpose of recommending to your Excellency the propriety of commuting the death penalty in his case to imprisonment in the Penitentiary. The testimony sustains the verdict but I cannot regard the case so flarant as to warrant capital punishment. The parties were friends—living together and I cannot believe the Deft. intended with malice afore-thought to kill & murder Newell, yet he said he did, but he was laboring under great excitement on account of his wife being whiped and did not really compre-hend what he done or said. | Page 1Vicksburg Miss.
