To The Board of Pardons of
The State of Minnesota
St. Paul, Minnesota.

Gentlemen:
Believing that a mistake may have been made in connection with the sentence of Gilbert H. Stephenson, lately taken to Stillwater for a term of five years, I wish to urge upon the Board that careful consideration be given to his case. There was a distinct doubt in the mind of at least one of the important witnesses who failed to recognize the defendant at the time of the trial. It seems to me that there is reasonable doubt of his guilt and careful consideration of this case will be appreciated.

Yours truly,

BNW:S Bert N. Wheeler
