Covington Ky
His Excellency Gov
Beriah Magoffin.
Sir.
You will please find enclosed the Petition of Michael Dailey. I attended to the defense in both courts, and made the enclosed report of the evidence, which is sworn to as correct by Mr Dailey and certified as correct by Mr Harrison who prosecuted in the Examining Court, and by Mr Arther the prosecuting Atty. I know the case is one meriting clemency in an eminent degree. You will see that the two offenses are really
but one offense — the fight — and the weapon was used in that fight. This way of making two offenses may be legal, but it is very oppressive, but you will do what is just without any argument.
If you remit, please send the [remiton] to us
Respectfully
Yours
Cambron & Fisk
