To his Excellency B Magoffin Governer of Kentucky

Your petitioners would respectfully represent that at the last Feby term 1861 of the Campbell Circuit Court George Knarr was convicted of killing one Mike Hitzman in a sudden quarrel arrising out of statements made by Hitzman impeaching the chastity of Knorrs wife,

They represent that Knorr is a good industrious citizen never accused of any offense except the above unfortuname affair;

He has a wife and one child dependent on him for their living and who are now in great want from being deprived of his care protection and assistance, The undersigned truly believe that the ends of just do not require his longer confinement in the penitentiary,

Wherefore Your petitioners ^pray^ Your Excellency to pardon and restore him to his family and liberty --
