East St. Louis, Ill., No. 6, 1915
TO THE HONORABLE GOVERNOR OF UTAH:
We, the undersigned citizens and resi-
dents of Illinois, after investigation, finding
that a poor Swede by the name of Joseph Hillstrum
has been sentenced to be executed in your state
purely on circumstantial evidence, and feeling
positive that you would not allow a man who might
be innocent to be executed when you could prevent
it, herein ask you in the name of Justice and
humanity, to commute his sentence.
