STATE or ILLINOIS OFFICE Nov On the 20th day of August 18 Ia th Cook County Criminal Court Spies Albert R Parsons Samuel Michoe Schwab Adolph Fischer George Engel an Louis Lingg were found guilty by the ver dict of the jury and af sentenced tc be for the murder of Matthias J Be gan An appeal was taken from such finding aa sent to the Supreme Court of the fit ite Tha court upon a final hearing and after mature deliberation unanimously affirmed tho judg ment of the court below The case now before me by petition of defendants for consideration as Governor of the State if tha letters ot Albert Parsons Adolph Engel and Louis Lingg demanding unconditional release or as they express It liberty or and protesting ia the strongest language against mercy or commu tation of the sentence pronounced them can be considered A pardon could it be granted which might imply any guilt whatever upon the part oi either of them would not be such a vindica tion as they demand Executive intervention upon the grounds insisted upon by the four above named persons could in no proper sense be deemed an exercise of al power to grant reprieves commutations and pardons unless based upon the belief on my part of entire innocence of tho crime of which they stand convicted A careful consideration ot the evidence in the record of the trial of the parties as well as for them out side of tho record has failed to produce upon my mind any impression impeach the verdict of the jury or the judgment of the trial court or of the Supreme Court affirming the guilt of oil tho parties Satisfied therefore as I am of thoir guilt I am precluded from considering tho question n commutation of tho sentences of Albert R Parsons Adolph Fischer George Engel and Louis Lingg to imprisonment in the peni as they emphatically declared they will not accept such commutation Samuel Fielden Michael Schwab and August Spies unite in a petition for Execu tive and Schwab in ad dition present separate and supplementary petitions for the commutation of their sentences While as was stated above I am satisfied of tbe guilt ot oil tho parties 03 found by the verdict of the jury which was by tho judgments of tho courts a most careful consideration of tho whole subject loads mo to tho conclusion that tho sentence of tho law 03 to Samuel and Schwab may bo modified as to each of them in tho interest of humanity and without doing violence to public justice And as to tho said Samuel and Michael Schwab tho sentence is commuted to imprisonment in tbo Penitentiary for life As to all tho other above named defendant I do not feel justified in interfering with the sentence of tho court While 1 would have a differ ent conclusion in lo sentence of defendants August Fischer George Engel Albert li Parsons and Louis Lingg I
