To His Excellency Hon. Beriah Magoffin

The undersigned would respectfully represent that at some time in 1860 a young man, a friend and neighbor of Talton E Walker the petitioner, called on him & spent the night with him, and left there a pistol; he afterwards requested the petitioner to bring it to him in Richmond which he did. Not wishing to carry it in his hand he put it in his pocket & carried it to Town and just before he delivered it up, it was seen by the witness William H Smith who indicted him at the September term of the Madison Circuit Court & on the day of during the present March Term of said court. He was convicted by confession of Judgment ^in the sum of $50^ & believing it to be a case worthy of Executive Clemency would recommend to your Excellency a remission of the fine against said Walker
