Seriously crippled with rheumatism and is infirm; that he is depend-
ent and in a helpless condition, unable to perform manual labor and

gomery should send a certificate of the facts to the auditor of public
accounts of Virginia, then the auditor of public accounts is directed to
place the name of Hamilton Jennelle on the pension list and pay him
annually the sum of fifteen dollars on, and after the first day of April,
