Sir-
Charles E Hood Stands convicted in the Lawrence Quarterly Court of carrying concealed Deady Weapons I was present at the trial & am conversant with the facts connected with the case
Mr Hood been badly Beaten by a man in Lawrence Co. whose relations were very hostile to Hood. Hood attending a Law Term shortly after the ill treatment where his antagonist & relations were compelled to be and whilst there they had him arested tried & convicted. Hood not knowing anything about our Laws and being unprepared made no defence & was accordingly fined [...] prosecuted an appeal to the Quarterly Court which is as dismissed for an unfortunately in the Justices transcript & Judgment vs him as before
To my personal knowledge Hood had a Just & good defence He could have proven by winesses with whom I have coversed that his life was threated & that there
good grounds for his beliving he would be assaulted on that day & that Hood knew this
Under these facts I would most respectfully ask your Excellency to interpose in his behalf as I think it rather a hard case Hood is a man of a Family
Respectfully
