To his Excelency Beriah Magoffin Govr of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Your petitioners residing in the vicinity of David Douglass recently convicted of man slaughter in the Mason Circuit Court respectfully solicit to pardon him. Deeming it a case, fit and proper for executive clemency: knowing as they do that he has ever heretofore conducted himself, as peacible, harmless and inoffensive.
