To his Excellency the Governor of the State of Kentucky
Your petitioners would state that a young man by the name of Henry C Lucas was indicted in the Russel Circuit Court some two or three years ago for an assault with intent to Rob, said assault is said to have taken place at some time during the war.
Your petitioners do not profess to know the facts in the case, but are informed and believe that the charge rests on vague and unsatisfactory circumstantial evidence, the indictment was procured upon the information of Col Hoskins, The young man was a Union soldier during the war and was honerably discharge at the experation of his term of service, he has ever been loyal to the government and so was his father They are annoyed that the indictment should be kept over him, to his detriment and to the mortification of his family The premises considered we respectfully ask that he be pardoned
