Your petitioners would state that the defendant plead "guilty" to the above named indictments;; that inconse monetary affairs, in consequence of the passage of the Stay Law, at a late session of Legislature, have become so stringent, that this Deffendant finds it impossible to meet the payment of said fines.

Your petitioners believe that Mr Sandefur
