To His Excellecy T. E Bramlette Governor Ky

We respectfully state that some years since one B. F. Ballentine was indicted with Lyon Circuit Court for Malicious Stabbing, and from the evidence vs him (There having been a mistrial) we are satisfied that he could not have been convicted, and inasmuch that P D Yeiser R W Wake Rob Cobb & Wm Jones $300 were his bail against all of whom (Except P D Yeiser) a judgment was at the obtained at the Dec Term 1865 of the Lyon Circuit Court, Now inasmuch as Mr Yeiser one of the bail has been released from said Bail by your Excellency and in view of the fact of Ballentine's absence occurring in consequence of his having taken Service as a soldier in the Union army (The evidence of which Mr Yeiser collected for the purpose of Sending to you) we most earnestly ask and desire that Executive clemency be also extended to these parties above named
