To his Excellency Thomas. E. Bramlette Govener of the Commonwealth of Kentucky

Your petitioners Citizens of Adair, Taylor & Marion Counties, would respectfully represent to your Excellency, that Milton. B. Cox was convicted at the June called term of the Adair Circuit Court, 1865, for the robbing of George. W. Walkins a Citizen of Adair County, and sentenced to the penitentiary for five years, in pursuance to the finding of the jury in the case,

Your petitioners state that they do not believe that said Cox, had a fair and impartial trial, on account of the feeling excitement and prejudice against him, they state said Cox proved upon Trial by three reliable, and unimpeached witnesses that said Cox was not within twenty three miles of the house of said Walker watkins, when the robbery was proven to have been committed, it was also

proven by three creditable unimpeached witnesses, Walker said on the next day after seeing said Cox, that he was not the man that robbed him, Therefore the state believes that the finding of the Jury and judgment of the Court was against the evidence in the case, They therefore pray your Excellency to pardon said Cox & release him from his confinement
