Govenor of Utah:

Honorable Sir:

I ask you to
spare the life of Joseph Hillstrom:
First, because of the Sacredness of
Human life; Second: There are serious
doubts as to his guilt. The evidence,
as I understand, being wholey circumstantial.
There are posibilities of predjudised
jury; a pack jury if you please!

Anyhow, in the name of the
Sacredness of Human life, I protest
against the execution of Joe Hill.

Yours Respectfully
S.G. Shepard
