PETITION.

HON. WM. SPRY,

Salt Lake City, Utah.

Governor of Utah :-

This appeal is directed to the Board of Pardons in behalf of Joseph Hillstrom, under sentence of death in the Utah Penitentiary. We have read and heard something of the case:

1st- We do not believe Joseph Hillstrom guilty of the crime for which he has been convicted.

2nd- We do not believe that he had a fair trial.

3rd- We have learned that the jurors were not selected in the usual way.

4th- The defendant was practically without council when he was on trial for his life.

5th- No motive was shown for the crime of which he was convicted.

6th- The conviction was found upon the flimsiest kind of circumstantial evidence.

Believing these to be the facts, we, the undersigned, demand that the death sentence in the case of Joseph Hillstrom be set aside and clemency extended.

J. H. Olson NAME 382 N. Pearl st [illegible] [illegible] ADDRESS

To the Honorable William Spry, Governor of the State of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.

The undersigned, all being citizens of the United States, and whose addresses are set opposite their names, having been informed concerning the recent trial and conviction of one Joseph Hillstrom (also known as Joe Hill), by the District Court of Salt Lake City, Utah, for the alleged killing of J. S. Morrison, and his son, Arling Morrison, in Salt Lake County, Utah, on Jan. 10, 1914, and of the affirmance fo the judgment of conviction of said District Court by the Supreme Court of the State of Utah, hereby make appeal to your executed clemency on behalf of said Hillstrom, and request that you grant him a pardon, for the following reasons, to wit:

That the said Illstrom was denied by the judge of the said District Court of Salt Lake County that fair and impartial trial which is guaranteed to all citizens of the United States by the Constitution thereof, and the laws of the State of Utah, in that the said court denied to him the privilege of being defended by counsel of his own selection, or of conducting his own defense, and that he has therefore 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 the verdict rendered therein due wholly to prejudice prevailing in said Salt Lake County against Hillstrom because of his activity in seeking justice for the laboring class.
