To His Excellency
Beriah Magoffin
Gov of Kentucky

We the undersigned State that We are the Jurors in the case of the Com^th against James R Isaacs in the Jackson Ciruit Court at its present Nov Term —

We would state that while we believed under the law and testimony we were bound to find him guilty of Manslaughter yet we cheerfully state that the testimony showed that the difficulty in which John Morris the deceased was mortally wounded did not originate with the said James R Isaacs but came up suddenly between Said Morris and Samuel Isaacs the brother of said James R. and the said James R was drawn into the difficulty in account of his said brother Samuel who was also killed in the same difficulty in which Marris was Mortally wounded — We further State that we believe that most of the wounds inflicted on said Morris are inflicted by said Samuel Isaacs after he had been Mortally wounded by a pistol shot from V. H. Morris the sone of the Said decedent We therefore unanimously ask your Excellency to pardon said James R. Isaacs,

Isaacs case —
