To The Governor Of The Stae of Utah.— We, the under-signed citizens of the United States and residents of Billings Montana,respectfully petition you to extend executive clemency to Joseph Hillstrom now under sentence of death in the Stae of Utah. We feel that his defense has failed ,not through the merits of the evidence for conviction;which evidence is wholely circumstantial; but through the lack of finances for defense and through the animus of pred-atery capital which he has uncompromisingly fought as a labor agitater. We therefore petition you for the above reasons to pardon him or to commute his sentence. Emil Lanor [Nibs?] Alwin A.G. Barkdoll R. F. Barkdoll M.A. [Tlauagan?] L.[G?] Martin S.D.
