Petition
Hon Wm. Spry,
Governor of Utah.
This appeal is directed to the Board of Pardons in behalf of Joseph Hillstrom, a member of the Industrial
Workers of the World, under sentance of death in the Utah Penitentiary. We have read and heard some thing of the case:
1st. We do not believe Joseph Hillstrom guilty of the crie for which he has been convicted.
2nd. We do not believe that he had a fair trial.
3rd. We have learned that the jurors were not selected in the usual way.
4th. The defendant was practically without council when he was on trial for his life.
5th. No motive was shown for the crime of which he was convicted.
6th The convicted was found upon the flimsiest kind of circumstantial evidence.
Believing these to be the facts, we the undersigned, demand that the death sentance in the case of Joseph Hillstrom be set aside and clemency extended.
