His Excellency
Beriah Magoffin —

The undersigned respectfully represent that at the Sept Term of the Madison Circuit Court for the year 1860, Allen Hunter was convicted of carrying on his [...] person a concealed weapon — The facts are briefly these — in the year [...] Mr Hunter took his brother's pistol ^from his home^ to a neighbor's house for the purpose of swapping it to a third person — The pistol was empty — he showed it to the commonwealth's witness who says it was not loaded — he would never have seen it if the petitioner had not pulled it out and showed it to him expressing his purpose to swap it — We think this ^is^ a case that deserves the executive clemency — Mr Hunter is a poor, peaceable, quiet young man & the witness who testified against him did it reluctantly, believing that he had no improper motive in carrying it between the two points aforesaid —

I J M Shackelford Clerk of the Court for said Circuit hereby Certify that Nathan Haines James A Moran, E R M^cCreary Daniel White Jacob Huguely & Andrew Broaddus whose names appear to the within petition were a part of the Jury that tired and Convicted Allen Hunter of the offence of Carrying Concealed Weapons

Given under my hand this Oct 29' 1860
