Madisonville
To His Excellency. C S Morehead.
Jerome Phillips at the present term of the Hopkins Circuit Court was indicted for Burglary & upon his own plea of guilty, was by the Jury Court sentenced to two years confinement in the penitentiary- From all the information we have of Mr Phillips his character heretofore has been good, and this is his first offince We believe he is penitent and will not again be guilty of crime, We refer you to letters from Rochester & Louisville Ky, in which places he has resided for a number of years as to his character He has an interesting clever & devoted wife who is dependent on him for a support, & while we are constrained to admit his guilt we beleive that executive clemency will effect a complete reformation We therefore ask that your Excellency shall interpose in his behalf
