To His Excellency Gov. T. E. Bramlette Frankfort. Ky --

Mr John Owen was fined on Saturday the 16th inst in the Police Court of Shelbyville the sum of fifty dollars on the charge of carrying concealed deadly weapons --

There were mitigating circumstances connected with the offence, but the jury thought they were bound by law to fine him -- Since the war it has been customary for every one to carry arms, and Mr Owen is a man who would not carry them for any improper or unlawful purpose -- And where lawless men cannot be punished for similar offences we think it hard that good citizens should suffer when lawless men escape -- We therefore beg your Excellency to remit his fine --
