The Honorable Govenor of the State of utah Salt Lake City utah
Dear Sir
This is to Protest against the carrying out of the Death Sentence Pronounced on Joseph Hillstrom by the Courts of the State of utah the carrying out of this Sentence would in my opinion be by far a more atrocious crime than the one charged against Hillstorm who I am Firmly Convinced is an innocent man. I arrived at this conclusion after a Thorough Study of the Evidence Presented by the State Taking the Life of an innocent man is Equivalent to taking the Life of a New Born Babe and I protest against it alone and call on you as a man believing in Justice and Fairness to exercise the Power vested in you as Governor

and at least commute the Sentence to Life imprisonment if not a full Pardon as I firmly beleive that time will Prove his innocence to all.
Trusting you will see the Justice of this and act accordingly.
I am Sincerely yours
G. J. Gilbert #1224 Douglas Ave Omaha Neb.
