Bondtown Va. Sept 10-1915 To His Excellency The Govornor of Utah. I the undersigned citizen of Virginia voter and taxpayer consider the execution of Joe Hill in your state as simply murder as do many of my fellow citizens. It is a dagger thrust at liberty a thing which you and I and evry one should protect and preserve. I as an American can not refrain from offering my personal protest otherwise I sould feel the guilt of his death upon my soul. Frank Graham.

To The Governor of Utah

Salt Lake City

Dear Sir,

as you believe in justice for all regardless of station, you will not deny me, when I ask, that You use every means at your command in behalf our fellow citizen, Joe Hill, working class poet & revolutionist, unjustly imprisoned in your state & sentenced to be shot Oct 1st. That Joe Hill is the victim of an outrageous miscarriage of Justice there is no doubt. His execution will be a damning blot on the fair fame of your state and do no one any good, least of all his greedy, ruthless mammon crazed persecutors. Activated by the same spirit that brought the Man of Galilee to Calvary, the blinded misguided traducers and would be murderers of Joe Hill are utterly blind to even their own interests, though sordid & foul they be.

Absolutely convinced

2

of Joe Hills innocence of aught, but a desire to serve his fellow workers and better their condition I respectfully ask that Justice be not banished from your fair state, respectfully

C. J. Gilbert
