I am one of witnesses for the Commonwealth in the prosecution against Mr Gorin, & witnessed the commission of the alledged offense, and believe I am fully apprised of all that passed at the time. The foregoing petition I have read & cheerfully sign my name thereto.
Although Mr Gorin shot me with out cause I never had any unkind feelings towards him. I forgive him for the injury inflicted upon Me and I concur in the prayer of the petition. —
W. C. Wood
