F. E. Skidmore and his wife would State that at the October term of the Trimble Circuit Court three indictments were found against F. E. Skidmore who keeps a Small tavern for selling liquor to young men under 21 years of age. M^r Skidmore was wholly ignorant of the law, and as the young men nearly of age he had no thought of violating any law. he had regular tavern license at the time. Being advised that he had violated the letter of the law he at once plead guilty and was fined $50 in each case at the present term of the October Circuit Court trusting for the exercise of the executive clemency in his behalf. Your petitioners would further State that Said F. E. Skidmore is wholly unable to pay said fine he has no property he has a large family mainly Supported by the labor of his wife. They respectfully ask for a remission of the whole of Said fine
