Lee, in his letter declining to pardon Cluveriua (pronounced Clu veers), said this: - "The prisoner came from the Judicial to the. Executive Department of the Govern ment marked 'guilty' by judges and jury; .starting at that point, therefore, I have been diligently studying the record while industriously seeking information and evi dence from all other sources which might conclusively prove to my mind that the verdict of the-courts was an error, and that, therefore, the sentence- pronounced by the Court of Hustings and affirmed by Virginia's g highest Court, must not be set aside or com 1 muted. With an earnest desire faithfully to exercise without fear or favor the laws of tn-3 State impartially to all; with the most profound sympathy for those upon whom this blow must fall; with a clear conscience that 1 am discharging my duty to the people of my State as God has given me etrcngth to see it, I now write to inform you that I have not been able to reach a different conclusion from that held by the courts, and, therefore, the case of Thomas J. Clnverius is not one in my opinion to call for executive interference either by the exercise of the pardoning power or by com mutation of the sentence."
