Hickman Ky
To his Excellency
Govr Thos E Bramlette
Dear Sir
I herewith submit to your consideration the Petition of H F Cheatham signed by a large number of the most respectable citizens of this end of the State including some of the Jury who convicted him. Judge J M Bigger who was at the time District Attorney and Judge Marshal presiding in our circuit I also subjoin the sworn statement of Thos Binford Esqr whose testimony had he been present would have vindicated Mr Cheatham fully from the charge. In view of so strong an appeal so well supported and where Justice itself seems to demand it I rely with confidence on your favorable consideration of this case.
Yours truly
John A. Lauderdale.
Atty for Petitioner
