To His Excellency Govr Bramlette

The undersigned citizens of Frankfort Ky. respectfully petition that Con McAuliffe may be pardoned of the alleged offense of selling liquor to minors (4) three ^four^ indictments

Said three (3) ^Four (4)^ indictments were found against McAuliffe at the February term 1867 of the Franklin Circuit Court_

We do not believe that there was any intended violation of law on the part of McAuliffe, nor do we think he would violate the law knowingly.

The offenses, if any, were committed as we believe by McAuliffes bar-keeper, through carelessness, and as we believe, against the express directions of McAuliffe.

Wherefore we ask that a pardon may issue to said McAuliffe-

Respectfully Your Obdt Svts
