Affiant Bryant Nichols says he did not sign a remonstrance to Gov'r Magoffin against the pardon or commutation of the sentence of Tho. B. Wadlington, nor did he ever authorize anyone to so for him — He says he is informed his name is signed to said remonstrance, and if so he hereby utterly repudiates the mischiefvous forgery —
