PETITION

San Francisco, Calif., Sept. 1915

Hon. William Spry,

Governor of Utah

The undersigned believe that there is a strong doubt as to the guilt
of Joseph Hillstrom, under sentence of death in the Utah Penitentiary.

We hereby respectifully petition you to commute his sentence to life
imprisonment, to the end that Hillstrom, if innocent, may have a fair chance
to prove his innocence.
