sentence of death in the Utah Penitentiary. We have read and heard
something of the case:
1st. We do not believe Joseph Hillstrom guilty of the crime 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 practicaly 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 conviction was found upon the flimsiest kind of circumstantial
evidence.

Believing these to be the facts, we the undersigned, demand that the
death sentence in the case of Joseph Hillstrom be set aside and
clemency extended.
