To his Excellency Tho E Bramlette
Governor of the State of Kentucky

Your petitioners would represent that at the May term 1860 of the Owen Circuit The Commonwealth of Kentucky obtained a Judgment against G W Suter under an indictment for "Suffering gaming on his premises" for the Sum of $20000 and costs of the prosecution

Said judgment has not yet been paid and a capias has been issued thereon under which said Suter is likely to be incarcerated in jail for nonpayment

We are well acquainted with Mr Suter— he is a man of limited means with a family dependent on him for a Support— he is a good citizen and a quiet and law abiding man— To Compel him to pay this fine would place him and his family in much trouble and we cheerfully say that we consider this a very fit subject for Executive clemency— We therefore most respectfully ask that said fine may be remitted Given under our hands this 14th day of November 1863

J A Duncan
