His Excellency Thomas E. Bramlett Govener of the Commonwealth of Kentucky we the undersigned petitioners citizens of Lawrence County Kentucky would most earnestly invoke the interposition of your executive clemency in behalf of Gabriel Indicut who is now a prisoner confined in the penitentiary of this State, upon a conviction of Manslaughter had at the Fall Term of the Lawrence Circuit Court 1859 for the Killing of David Justice, We ask his pardon upon the grounds that he was convicted alone upon circumstantial evidence and if Guilty he has served faithfully in the penitentiary for five long years, which we think is [...] ample atonement for the offence if he was guilty of it which we greatly doubt,
