New York, N. Y.
Sept. 11th, 1915
Hon. William Spry,
Governor of the State of Utah,
Salt Lake City, Utah
Dear Sir:---
Having read accounts of
the trial and sentence of Joseph Hillstrom
(or Joe Hill) of your state to die Oct. 1st
1915, we the signers of the enclosed petition
feel that a great injustice will be done
should he be executed.
You, as Chief executive of
the State of Utah, having the power to prevent
this blemish on its fair name and on that
of these United States, we pray that you
exercise your power for this good and just
end, and remember that blessed are the
merciful.
Your attention is called to
the appeal at the head of the first page of
the petition.
