To his Excellency Govenor Bramlett-

Your petitioners, citizens of Boyd County and State of Kentucky, would respectfully represent, that at the November Term 1863 of the Boyd Circuit Court that Henry Kahne a citizen of this county was indicted for the offence of keeping a "Ten Pin Alley" and was fined by a jury the sum of One Hundred Dollars, We would respectfully represent that the said Kahne, is a German, unacquainted with laws of our state,- that said Kahne had erected the said "Ten Pin Alley" on his own premises, for his private uses- but other persons used the Ten pin Alley, without the knowledge or Consent upon and bet small sums upon their games on said "Ten Pin Alley" The said Kahne, has wholly destroyed the said "Ten Pin Alley" where he was informed ^by neighbors^ that he was compromised by said persons, who had bet upon the games on said "Alley' We would respectfully pray your Excellency to remit the said fine, as we are personally acquainted with the said Henry Kahne, and are fully satisfied, that he would not violate the laws of our State knowingly- but being a German and unacquainted with our laws- he was imposed upon by persons as above stated
