To his Excellency Beriah Magoffin Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

Your petitioners would most respectfully state to your Excellency that at the Feby Term of the Rockcastle Circuit Court 1859 Alfred Moore was Indicted for shooting William Haley, the facts are as follows William Haley about two months previous to the occurrence had together with his two sons ^& one Noah Wiggins^ killed W T Moore, the brother of the said Alfred — and at the same time the said Haley and his boys killed the two Jones boys and shot and stabed several others on the ground very Sseriously — and after the, deceased, were lying on the ground dead the said Haleys sca^p^led them, William Haley, was afterwards arrested the two Haley boys and one Noah Wiggins fled to the west. Haley was in Jail the Jail door stood open, Some of Haleys friends were coming up with a bundle of close belonging to Haley. Alfred Moore asked" "Whose close are they." Haley over hearing him said you Kiss Haley's — — you d — — son of a — — ^kiss my — — ^ whereupon Alfred Moore ran to the Jail door — and shot Haley with a pistol immediately Haley recovered being but slightly hurt

[Page 2]

we are further informed that Haley whilst in Jail repeatedly provoked and blackgarded ^Moore^ [...]Haley, and that Moore sought no difficulty Haley has obtained a change of venue and has not yet been punished and is on bail — He is a son of John A Moore, whose wife has been grieved so much on account of the death of his boy W. T. Moore, and the difficulty into which Alfred has got that she was partially deranged but has now regained her mind but if a trial should result in a conviction of her son it would in all probability cause her permanent derangment — the people are all sympathizers of Mrs Moore and family — and in view of the whole case we hope you may pardon the offense if one has been committed — and gratify a kind mother and meet the approbation of all feeling people
