In "Reasons for Pardoning Fielden, Neebe and Schwab," John Peter Altgeld, the Governor of Illinois, presents his rationale for pardoning three men convicted in connection with the Haymarket Affair. This controversial decision, made in 1893, ignited intense debate and significantly impacted Altgeld's political career. Altgeld's detailed explanation delves into the legal and ethical considerations that led him to believe a miscarriage of justice had occurred. He meticulously examines the trial, the evidence presented, and the atmosphere of hysteria that surrounded the Haymarket bombing and subsequent convictions. His analysis offers a critical perspective on the role of public opinion, the impartiality of the legal system, and the rights of the accused. This document remains a significant historical artifact, providing insight into the complex social and political landscape of late 19th-century America, particularly the labor movement and the anxieties surrounding immigration and anarchism. Altgeld's courageous act of conscience continues to provoke discussion about justice, clemency, and the power of executive authority.
