I As S Walker hereby certify that I was a witness in the case of James Loyd named in the above Petition and at the instance of the sd Loyd made an examination per vaginum of the Female by whom Loyd was of the crime of Rape.

From the condition of all the genital parts I was & am still well satisfied that Loyd or no one else had ever had sexual intercourse with sd woman I consequently never have believed James Loyd guilty of the charge or crime of which he was convicted and believe his a just & proper case for the Executive Clemency

A. S. Walker M. D

I have known Doct A. S. Walker as a practicing physician in this place for the last Thirty years and his statements may be implicitly relied on he being a Gentleman in every sense of the term
