Cuales, N. Mex. 9.-8.- 1915.

To the Governor of Utah.

I write you to ask that you prevent the death of Joe Hill on Oct 1st nxt. Can't you commute sentence to Life Imprisonment?

Will you stain your hands with his blood when it is

within your power to save his life, by commutation of his sentence to Life Imprisonment? From what I can learn, Hill did not have a fair trial.

Show your manhood by the quality of your mercy.

Hon. William Spry, Gov. Utah

We the undersigned, very earnestly ask that you pardon Joe Hill, who is under sentence to be shot in the month of October. We feel the evidence upon which Mr Hill was convicted is of the weakest, and purely circumstantial. He was undoubtedly denied his constitutional rights when tried for his life.

Trusting to your fairness in this matter we respectfully submit this please for an innocent man.

To the Governor of Utah Salt Lake City.

DearSire

Stop and think before you take Joe Hills life, give him a chance, how many men have been executed that later the murderer came and they were not guilty.

So I plead to you for mercy for the man

Yours truly G.W. Davis
