To the Honorable Governor of Utah:

We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Colorado, after investigation, finding that a poor swede by the name of Joseph Hillstrom has been sentenced to be executed in your state purely on a circumstantial evidence, and feeling positive that you would not allow a man that might be innocent to be executed, when you could prevent it, herewith ask you to commute his sentence in the name of Justice and humanity.

TO THE HONORABLE WILLIAM SPRY, Governor of the State of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.

THE UNDERSIGNED, all being citizens of the United States, and whose addresses are opposite their names, having been informed concerning the recent trial and conviction of one Joseph Hillstrom, (also known as Joe Hill) by the District Court of Salt Lake County, Utah, for the alleged killing of J.S. Morrison, and his son, Arling Morrison, in Salt Lake County, Utah, on January 10th, 1914, and of the affirmance of the Judgement of conviction of said District Court by the Supreme Court of the State of Utah, hereby make appeal to your executive clemency on behalf of said Hillstrom, and request that you grant him a pardon, for the following reasons, to-wit:

That the said Hillstrom was denied by the Judge of the said District Court of Salt Lake County that fair and impartial trial which is guaranteed to all citizens of the United States by the Constitution thereof, and the laws of the State of Utah, in that the said Court denied to him the privilege of being defended by counsel of his own selection, or of conducting his own defence, and that he has therefore been deprived of the benefit of counsel.

Because the conviction of said Hillstrom ws obtained upon flimsy and wholly insufficient evidence, the said trial being a mockery of justce and the verdict rendered therein due wholly to prejudice prevailing in said Salt Lake County against Hillstrom because of his activity in the labor movement.
