HON WM. SPRY,

Governor of Utah:-
This appeal is directed to the Board of Pardons in behalf of
Joseph Hillstrom, under sentence of death in the Utal 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 practically 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

aside and clemency extended.
