To His Excellency
Beriah MaCgoffin
Governor.
The undersigned citizens of the city of Covington, Kenton County Kentuckyrespectfully pray that your Excellency would grant to William Nichols, now confined in the Penitentiary at Frankforta full pardon and remission of the convictions and sentences under which he is so confined, being for the cutting and stabbing of one G. W. Duffey and one Reffert. The undersigned have known Said William Nichols for many years, (most of us) and have always known and regarded him as a peaceful, industrious and quiet man, and believe this is the first charge of a criminal nature ever made against him. He has a family of little children entirely dependant on his daily labor for support, and on their account as well as his own, we earnestly pray that the executive clemency may be interposed in his behalf.
