Duluth, Minnesota
March 2, 1921.

To The Board of Pardons of the State of Minnesota,

Gentlemen:
Believing that an unjust verdict was arrived at, and that he is being unjustly imprisoned, I wish to call your attention to the case of Gilbert H. Stephenson, lately sentenced to a term of not more than five years in Stillwater, for an alleged participation in a riot in this city the fifteenth of last June.
That he did not commit or intend to commit any offense, but was only a bystander is the opinion of ninety percent of the people of St. Louis County.
I therefor (sic) ask that your honorable body grant him an unconditional pardon.
Respectfully yours,

E. E. Ballough
