Jeff Phillips, convicted-murder 1894; pardoned 1896, VA. was created by Mamie

House Document No. 3
Absolute Pardons.
Jeff Phillips. Convicted in the corporation court of Alexandria, April, 1894, of murder in the second degree, and sentenced to six years in the penitentiary. Granted January 1, 1896. This man is far gone with consumption; has had several hemorrhages, and has been in the hospital nearly all the time he has been in prison. The physician thinks he is liable to die at any time from a hemorrhage. Case under consideration for months with doubts as to the propriety of clemency. The condition of the man is such that I think humanity now calls for his pardon.
