A Plea in Behalf of Mr. J.T. Peterman

Editor Butler Herald – 

Please allow me space in your paper to say a few words in behalf of our Mr. 
J.T. Peterman, a resident of your county and now serving a sentence in this 
county.  He has been under my charge since transferred to this county from the 
state farm Feb. 11th past.  Has never given the least of trouble to the Warden, 
myself or any of the guards or anyone else so, far as I am aware, and has made 
friends of all free citizens that have become acquainted with him.

He makes a noble prisoner and a faithful hand, so far as his health and 
strength admits.  He suffers a great deal with appendicitis which he informs me 
troubled him much before he came to the county, and the fact that continued 
heavy work is detrimental to the disease, moves us to ask a helping hand in his 
behalf.  But as you are aware there is no easy jobs in a chain gang, it is 
quite a pleasure to me to recommend him as full worthy to receive all the 
benefits of any doubts that may exist in the minds of his friends.  As to the 
justice demanded in his case we think he should have this help and sympathy now 
and before continued confinement and hard labor weakens his life, and would 
respectfully suggest that someone interested make a move in that direction and 
see what can be done in the matter.  We feel that if have flowers to strew over 
his grave, that he and family would appreciate them much more here we enjoy the 
sweets of his life.

So let’s move and show him and family that we really do sympathize with them 
and are willing at least to show a helping hand to our friends in their 
distress.

Thanking you heartily for the valuable space accorded.  I beg to be, yours very 
truly,

W.S. Carter
Night Guard, W.C.C.G.
Monroe, Ga., June 2nd 1913
