DULUTH HOSPITAL
D. GRAHAM, M. D.,
PRESIDENT
WEST DULUTH, MINN., Feb., 26th 192 0
.
[1921]
To the Board of Pardons of the State of Minnesota,
St. Paul, Minn.
Gentlemen:
Believing that an unjust verdict was
rendered in the case of Gilbert H. Stephenson, who was lately sentenced to a
term of not more than five years in Stillwater for an alleged participation in a
riot in this city on the fifteenth day of June, 1920, I wish to call your
attention to the matter.
That he did not commit or intend to commit any
offense, but was only a bystander, as were hundreds of others, is the opinion of
ninety per cent of the people of St. Louis County.
I therefore ask that your
honourable body grant him an unconditional pardon
I am,
Resectfully
yours,
D. Graham
