To his Ecl^y B. Magoffin Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

Your petitioner H, O, Wilds would humbly state that at the present term of the Jackson Circuit Court he was fined fifty dollars upon an indictment affair for an alledged offence of carraying consealed a deadly weapon.

He states that he was not guilty of carrying the weapon, that it was his brothers pistol and he was only carrying it home for him in his coat pocket and does not believe it was concealed from ordinary observation

He states that he states th he is quite a young man and his mother is a widow and has a large family of little children, his father having lately died leaving nothing for the support of his family and it takes all his time and labor to assist his widowed mother in her support of the little infant children, and it will be almost impossible for him to pay the fine, for he has no property and would have to work it out by days works at a low price and the family cannot spare his labor. Wherefor he humbly asks a remission of the fine,

H. O Wilds
