Delaware Sept 22nd 1915

To the Hon. Wm. Spry, Governor of Utah, Salt Lake City.

The undersigned all being citizens of the United States acting under the direction and approval of the Socialist Party of Washington, Del., having been informed concerning the recent trial and correction of Joseph Hillstrom also known as Joe. Hill, by the District Court of Salt Lake County, Utah for the alleged killing of J. S. Morrison and his son Arling Morrison, do hereby make appeal to your executive clemency on behalf of said Hillstrom and request that you grant him a pardon for the following reasons.

That the said Hillstrom was denied that fair and impartial trial which is guaranteed to all citizens of the United States by the court denied to him the privilege of having defended by counsel of his own selection or of conducting his own defense and that he has been deprived of the benefit of counsel.

Because the conviction of said Hillstrom was obtained upon flimsy and wholly insufficient evidence the said trial being a mockery of justice, and and the verdict rendered therein due wholly to prejudice in Salt Lake County against Hillstrom because of his activity in the labor movement. Beatrice M. Sedgwick

Sec'y Socialist Party of Del. Edge Moor, Delaware.
