Bracken County March 5^th/62.
To his Excellency The Governor of Kentucky

Your petitioners citizens of said County of Bracken would most respectfully represent to your Excellency — That at the present ~~Mar~~Februay Term of the Bracken Circuit Court — An Indictment was found against Johnson Mains charged with horse stealing — and upon the trial of said case admited the fact that he had taken the horse from a neighbor without his permission for the purpose of paying a visit to his Brother who was in camp & a volunteer in Col Marshal Regiment distance about twenty miles — said Johnson stated on said trial he had no intention of stealing the horse but intended returning the following day with him — he did go to camp & left the horse in the Livery stable in Maysville Said Mains is quite a young man, of Respectable parentage and your petitioners are satisfied that should he be restored to Society as He would so deport himself — that he would wipe out the stain of intentionally stealing — and from that it was but a mere indiscretion that is not infrequently indulged in by neighbors — we therefore respectfully ask that your Excellny will pardon him
