Denver, Colorado, October 29, 1915.

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 circumstantial evidence, and feeling positive that would not allow a man who 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.
