Alfred Allen to Unknown, Office of the Governor, Beriah Magoffin: Governor's Official Correspondence File, Petitions for Pardons and Remissions, 1859-1862, Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives. Accessed via the Civil War Governors of Kentucky Digital Documentary Edition, https://discovery.civilwargovernors.org/document/KYR-0001-020-1592 (November 12, 2026).
A year or two ago several judgments were rendered in the Breckinridge Circuit Court against James Cox & Saml S— Wall for $60— each & costs on a joint indictment agst them for keeping a Tipling House —
The facts are that Cox kept in good faith in a Town of Union Stara Tavern & had license to sell spirits therein— His license had expired a few days when Wall who levid with him sold some spirits ^in the presense of Cox^ — The license was renewed as soon as Cox discovered that it had expired — I think The jury & maybe the Court united in a petition for their release which has been mislaid — This case has strong claims on the Executive clemency —
