This is to certify that I was one of the Jury who tried the afsd Wm Schofield; I was about Oakland about the time the money was alledged to have been Stolen; I knew Weaver^he was a wagon master^ The man who lost the money, or Said he lost it. I heard Weaver tell about it frequently; and he never heard him tell the Same Story twice; he was So frequently drunk; and he told so many different tales about it; and he had around him Such a bad [Set] a men; that I was led to beleave that it was uncertain whether he lost it atall; or if he did he, I am Satisfied knew nothing aboot who got it. I was on the Jury and was greatly Surprized that Schofield plead guilty; but having plead guilty we could not do any thing else but find him So. I Sign the petition with pleasureand earnestly ask your executive clemency..
Henry Dennis
