To his Excellency Thomas E Bramlette Gov. of Ky-

We the undersigned Citizens of the County of Bracken and State of Ky. would respectfully represent to your Excellency, that at the present February Term of the Bracken Circuit Court William E Gaillaspie was tried and fined upon a charge of assault & Battery in arresting a young man of the name of Clayton & detaining him a short time until he could enquire into the charge against him, then he was discharged and set at liberty. Mr Gaillaspie was at the time in the Military service of the U. S. A. and was Captain of Co Ky. 55. Reg Ky. Volunteers and was sent to Bracken Co. on the day of the Election in August last by his superior officer to assist in preserving the peace, and arrested young Clayton in, what he believed, to be the discharge of his duty. We therefore recommend him to Executive clemency, and ask your Excellency to remit so much of said fine as you have power to do-
