Gov Magoffin
Dear Sir,
I was present at the trial of Stephan Duvall in McLean Circuit. He is clearly guilty of the killing, but there are many circumstances which go to show weekness of mind. I regard him as a fit subject of for Executive clemency & I think the Community would be glad to his sentence commuted to imprisonement for life
Most truly
Azra Dyer
