To His Excellency Gov. T. E. Bramlette
Frankfort. Ky —

M^r John Owen was fined on Saturday the 16^th inst in the Police Court of Shelbyville the sum of fifty dollars on the charge of carrying concealed deadly weapons —

There were mitigating circumstances connected with the offence, but the jury thought they were bound by law to fine him — Since the war it has been customary for every one to carry arms, and M^r Owen is a man who would not carry them for any improper or unlawful purpose — And where lawless men cannot be punished for similar offences we think it hard that good citizens should suffer when lawless men escape — We therefore beg your Excellency to remit his fine —
