Carter Okla. Sept. 29 1915

Gov. Utah Salt Lake City

Dear Governor:
I would plead with all my
sou to with hold sentence
of Joe Hillstrom who is sen-
tenced to be shot Oct 1, 1915
think of the "Great" command
"Thou shalt not kill" weigh
it thoroughly before allowing
this man to be killed. and re-
member the killing of this vic-
tim will be another cog force-
ing the tention [TENSION] that is now
almost to the breaking point-
which will cause the workers
of the world to rise in defense
against unjust courts and mali-
cious sentences as in this case
and Lawson's [??????] Ford's
Shur's and hundred of others. I wold
have you consider, consider well.
Yours in prayer J.Y. Jones
