A petition from James and Katherine Foley of County Kerry asks President McKinley to pardon Patrick J Foley who is serving a life term for complicity in the 1893 murder of Durcy S Foster of Woburn. The appeal goes to Governor Wolcott and then to prison commissioners who assigned an agent to the case.
