To his Excellency Thomas E. Bramlette
Governor of Kentucky-
Having learned that Mr Franklin Gorin Esq has been indicted in the Jefferson Circuit Court for shooting and wounding Mr W. C. Wood — that Mr Wood is desirous that no further prosecution shall be had- and being Satisfied from the circumstances and the known high character of Mr Gorin for generosity and kindness, that the matter affair was the result of sudden passion, and believing that no public good can result and no public or private injury will result from a dismissal of the prosecution — we members of the bar of the 4th Judicial District assembled at Brandenburg, invoke and pray your Excellency to issue to Mr. Gorin an immediate pardon.
