To his ExcellencyB Magoffin, Govenor of Kentucky
The undersigned Petitioners would most respectfully state one L O Murray of this County, was indited by the Grand Jury for keeping a tippling house, and at the August term of the Bracken Circuit Court was tried and fined Sixty Dollars — they state that said Murray is a very poor man, has a large family, of small and helpless children to support, and altho he technically violated the law, so that the jury were compelled to find him quilty, your petitioners believe that he did not intend a violation, and think it is a case in which your Excellency's clemency ought to be exercised — we therefor petition you to release said fine, so far as you have it in your power to do.
