To his Excellency Govenor McGoffin.

Your petitioners would respectfully represent that David BonerandJoseph Hendricks were at the present Oct term of the Pendleton Circuit Court found guilty by the verdict of a jury of breaking into the store house of Thomas Wheelerin theCounty of Pendleton with intent to commit a fellony. They are mere boys, have always sustained a good character, and whether guilty or not your petitioners believe that their pardon, would be promotive of their reformation. They are respectfully connected: no other charge has ever been brought or prefered against them. Your petitioners, with strong assurances from the accused of th[...] reformation, respectfully request your Exellency to pardon them.

I with A. G. Robertsdefended the young men who have petitioned for Executive clemency. They are respectably connected: are quite young and I believe their pardon would have the effect to reform them if guilty. L. F. Swoope

I endorse the statements of Maj Swoope A G Roberts

T E Moore

The undersigned, who were jurors in the case above mentioned, unite with the petitoners for the pardon of David Boner & Joseph Hendricks
