Cov Ky Dec 19/64
His Excellency Gov Bramlette
Dear Sir.

I understand — that Mr Henry Crout has proposed new evidence in the penal cases against him, I was one of the attys— and hence state that I thought at the time— as good, true, law-abiding man as Mr Crout— ought hardly to have been convicted upon the testimony. One Beazley — was the standing witness that term of the Court— and swept the city, but we could not then impeach him — and for that reason Mr Crout— is compelled to look to you. He is a very

exemplary law abiding Man— He spent a large Sum— raised a company— went up to be sworn in— (Last Fall) with his company and was thrown out because of slight rupture— thus losing all his time and several hundred dollars. He is deserving of your clemency

Respectfully Yours
