Gov Thomas E Bramlette

Your petitioners would respectfully state that George A Didrick was convicted & fined at the present term of the Bracken Circuit Court for keeping a "Tippling House" the sum of sixty Dollars_ We state that said conviction was upon the Evidence of one witness who testified he had drank once upon premises of Didrick Whiskey & had upon one other occasion seen others drink, but had not known what they drank_ He stated said Didrick kept a Booth ^for the sale of Beer^ in the immediate vicinity of a company who were boring for oil & for their accomodatiion_ Mr Didrick has resided in Bracken County for twelve years & had always maintained a good character for industry honesty & good citizenship. We believe he is not in the habit of selling spirituous liquors, & will not in the future violate the law_ & believe this is a case challenging your Executive clemency_ & hope your Excellency will remit much of the fine as you possess power to do_
