COUNTY OF ST. LOUIS
OFFICE OF
CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT


Duluth, Minn., Feb. 2, 1921.


J. P. JOHNSON,
CLERK

C. S. Reed, Esq.,

Warden of the State’s Prison,
Stillwater, Minn.

Dear Sir:
I am sending by express the testimony and minutes of examination before sentence and sentence, in the case of State of Minnesota, vs. Gilbert Henry Stephenson. the other commitment papers having been delivered to you at the time the prisoner was taken by the sheriff to the State’s prison.
The Courts have been so busy the last two or three months it has been impossible for the reporters to get out the records in these cases, and the court has directed me not to delay the prisoners on that account, and that is the reason you did not receive the complete commitment with the prisoner.

Yours truly,
J. P. JOHNSON, Clerk
By J. S. Moody
Deputy.
