In the case of Murphy the only one of those cases tried there was a hung Jury

They believe that to the feelings on the just of those in sympathy with the rebellion toward a union man and especially towards union men who have acted as offices of elections it is not probable that the cases can he disposed of or that justice will be done towards any of said offices

They therefore believe these cases present a case for executive interposition & ask your Excellency to interpose & release the said Judge who they beleave acted consciensiously in the discharge of their duty from the effects of said Indictements

They further state that said Judges together with Lt Thos J McHattan of the 55th Ky request also indicted the two judges for ordering
