To Governer Thomas E Bramlette

Your Petitioners citizens of Bracken County would respectfully state that E L Hornbeck was recognized by two Justices of the Peace of said County to appear at the February term of the Bracken Circuit Court 1865 -- They state that S. P Peddicord was his surety for his appearance at said term in the penalty of two hundred & fifty dollars -- They state that prior to said term Hornbeck left the county & report says joined the Federal Army & has been killed -- This is the information received by his family & general reputation -- The charge against said Hornbeck was for stealing, but the matter was before a grand jury & they refused to find a Bill against because the evidence was insufficient to sustain the charge -- Hornbeck was poor & very much harrowed with debts and your petitioners beleive he left home on that account & for the purpose of raising enough to pay his debts by volunteering in the Federal army and did not leave for fear of being convicted of the offence for which he was recognized -- They state Hornbecks reputation for honesty was good, and no man stands higher for good citizenship & character than S. P. Peddicord & they trust your Excellency will interpose & releave him for the payment of the $250 -- forfeited at the said February term.
