To his Excellency Thomas E Bramlette Govenor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The undersigned have Known the petitioner Jno W Harris for many years and have known, him during that period of time to be a quiet peaceable man, industrious, and so far as our observation extends indisposed to get into personal broils or difficulties.

He has a young family and it would affect him seriously in his pecuniary affairs to pay the fine imposed on him by the Fayette Court.

Believing from all we have heard of his case, that it is one that calls for the exercise of Executive Clemency, we feel no hesitation in joining in the prayer of the petitioner of said Harris and a majority of the jury who tried him, for a remission of his fine, so far as you can remit it
