To Governor Bramlette

The undersigned neighbors of the defendants John Montgomery W F Montgomery, Lewis Montgomery, W^m Givens, George Walker, W^m Martin Joseph Corbett & John Head who were indicted at the may Term 1863 of the Crittenden Circuit Court for an assault & battery on W^m Simpson, say that the case of said defendants in our minds presents the strongest considerations for the interposition of Executive Clemency. The said defendants are all good, and law abiding citizens, while Simpson is and has been of evil name. The circumstances on which the indictment was founded grew out of the late disturbed condition of the country consequent upon the war, and when the courts were closed, and was nothing but a combination of the best citizens to have Simpson quit his unmoral practices in a good neighborhood When the citizens had no power to resort to the courts-
