Petition from Ste. Sophie de Lévrard

We the undersigned ask the Honourable Minister to kindly commute to another sentence the death sentence pronounced against Marie-Anne Houde as it is painful to see a woman mount the scaffold and she has just given birth to infant twins.

(Five pages of signatures of French names, including Trefflé Houde, Willie Houde, Cécile Houde, Alice Houde and Joseph Houde)
