To His Excellency [[Moore, Andrew B. (Andrew Barry), 1807-1873|Andrew B. Moore]] Governor of the State of Alabama
The undersigned citizens of Ala-bama and residing in [[County of Barbour (Ala.|Barbour County]][[Parmer, Jacob|Jacob Parmer]], in behalf of Jacob Parmer who was at the last term of the [[Circuit courts|Circuit Court]] for said county convicted of [[larcener|larceny]] from the person, respectfully petition your exel-lency, and pray that he may be released from imprisonment in the penitentiary to which he has to which he has been sentenced for three years under the Conviction as above set forth; And they respectfully show unto your excellency:
1. That said Jacob Parmer has been raised in Barbour County, and for a long time rea-sonably and favorably known to most of the undersigned.
2. The undersigned do not believe that the said Jacob Parmer is guilty of the offence of which he has been convicted, though he was unable or failed from some cause to make the necessary proof. They believe he has fallen the victim of a man, [[Lane, James M.|James M Lane]], on whose testimony he was convicted, and the man from whose person the property is al-leged to have been taken, whose continued hab-its of long dissipation rendered him in their opinion incompetent to testify in a court of justice in any case, much less involving the liberty and representation of a citizen.
For these reasons, more fully set forth in the affidavits accompanying this petition, the undersigned pray your Excellency to pardon the said Jacob Parmer of the offense in which he has been convicted, and that he may be restored to his family and to society of which he was once a useful member.
