To His Excellency Thos E Bramlette Govr State of Kentucky

We the undersigned citizens of Warren County and living in the neighborhood of William Stagner, who was at the February Term of the Warren Circuit Court, sent to the penitentiary for receiving Stolen property - having learned that a petition has been sent to your excellency requesting a pardon of the said Stagner - take this prudent of entering our protest against your exercise of any clemency in his behalf - for his character in the neighborhood is very bad - and we think he justly deserves the punishment awarded to him and hope for the sake of good morals, law - and the neighbors that he will be required to serve his full Term in the state prison
