From this statement of The Evidence
which I have seen made out by
the council for Hindman, I consider
it a case of Justifiable Homecide [sic], Therefore
I sign this petition.

I have carefully examed the case
of James H Hindman, as stated by his
council, and believe from the laws
of the country he was perfectly Justafyable [sic]
in defending himself with any means
in his power. that the killing was
excusable and no more than any
man of feeling would have done
under similar circumstances
