To his Excellency B Magoffin Gov of Kentucky

The undersigned Citizens of Ohio County most respectfully but earnestly recomend to your Clemency Mr Charles K Medcalf a citizen of this County who at the last March term of the Ohio Circuit Court was fined for betting on the election one hundred Dollars. We know Mr Metcalf to be an industrious quit citizens and wholey unable to pay said fine we state further that Mr Medcalf is an uneducated man and was ignorant of the law against betting on elections, and we believe that the prosecution was instigated at least in part through malice. That the bet was a pair of boots and made in a Jocular Mood and wholely without intent to violate any law

A. B. Band J. O. C. C.

I cannot say whether the prosecution was instigated by malice, but I join in the prayer of the petition
