Slide13 : In 1830, a man named George Wilson was tried by the United States Federal court in Philadelphia for robbery of an U.S. mail train and placing the life of a federal employee in mortal danger. Subsequently he was sentenced to be hanged. Andrew Jackson, President of the United States, granted him a presidential pardon. But Wilson refused the pardon, insisting that it was not a pardon unless he accepted it. The question was brought before the Supreme Court, and Chief Justice Marshall wrote the following decision: 'A pardon is conditional upon its acceptance by the person implicated. It is hardly to be supposed that one under sentence of death would refuse to accept a pardon, but if it is refused, it is no pardon. George Wilson must hang.' And he was hanged.
