To his Excellency Thos E Bramlette Govenor State of Ky
A few weeks ago the Trustees of the Town of Simpsonville, Shelby County, Kentucky did prosecute John Soergel Citizen and hotel keeper in said town, for the violation of a town ordinance. When the case came up he desired a change of venue, which he obtained and the case was carried before Justice Frazier of Shelbyville and he was fined according to the Law and the evidence in the case $211. Now we are informed and believe the Said John Soergel has circulated a petition and has obtained some Signers to it (Most of whom are not citizens of the town) for the purpose of presenting it to your Excellency, that he may get said fine remitted. Now as Trustees and citizens of the said town of Simpsonville, we do protest that your Excellency will not remit said fine or any part thereof.
