Lebanon October 16/65
To his Excellency Thomas E. Bramlette —

your petitioners would respectfully state that at the June term 1865 of the Marion circuit court William Chambers was indicted by the Grand jury of said county and charged with having "set up" a faro bank in said county — At the August term of the Marion circuit court said Chambers confessed a judgment in favor of the commonwealth against himself for five Hundred dollars — Your petitioners are informed that said Chambers is a man of family and in indigent circumstances, however they only learn this from report and have no personal knowledge of the fact — Under all the circumstances your Petitioners are of opinion that the case of said Chambers is one in which they can coscientiously ask the interposition of Executive clemency — your petitioners all residents of and loyal citizens of Marion county therefore respectfully ask the remission of the judgment against said Chambers —
