That the whole affair was only a drunken quarrel among neighbours who had always previously been good friends, and that the prisoner had, no weapon whatever, other than a heavy ring on one of the fingers of his right hand. That your petitioner has no means of support, save the earnings of her husband, of which support she is now deprived. That the prisoner is in very feeble health, and that his very existence itself is endangered by his incarceration for which reasons petitioner humbly prays Your Excellency to pardon the said John Black, and your petitioner will ever pray. Catherine Black <hr /> Chicago April 5 1864 I have been acquainted with John Black for several years. For nearly one year, he was in my employ and gave good satisfaction except on Christmas.
