Lebanon Kentucky Sept 2d 1865 To His Excellency Gov. Thos. E. Bramlette Frankfort Kentucky:

Your petitioners citizens and residents of Marion County Kentucky would respectfully represent that Wm J. Young was by a Grand jury of Marion County indicted for the offence of "Suffering and permitting gaming upon his premises" at their June Term 1865, and at the August Term 1865 of said Court said W. J. Young came in open court and confessed judgement for $200. Your petitioners think that the case is one in which executive intereference is demanded, and would respectfully ask that your Excellency pardon and remit the said fine. -- your petitioners say that said Young is a young man just commencing business in life, and of good character, and if the fine has to be paid will result very oppressively to him.
