San Francisco, Calf. Sept. 1915

Hon. Wm. Spry.
Governor of Utah

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

We hearby respetfully 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.
