I found this today at the FHR from the Sutherland Collections. AN EARLY PETITION - 1880's- To the Hon. H.M. Jones, Judge and To Wm.A. Ayers, Attorney for Commonwealth of Dickenson County- The undersigned Citizens of Dickenson County would most respectfully ask that the prosecution against Cornelius Vanover be dimissed in view of the fact that it is generally believed that said Vanover can not live but a few days longer. We think that this course would be eminently proper and right. J.W.Swindal , E.L. Phipps , Jasper S. Colley , Jary Caudll ? , Larkin Stanley , Henry Keel, George Dyer , Eli Vanover, J.L.
