The judge who tried this prisoner, certified that Garnett Nicholson was also tried at the same term of the court, upon the same indictment, and that he was found guilty, and sentenced to confinement in the county jail for one month, and to the payment of a fine of one cent. That the testimony in both cases proved that the parties were guilty; but if any difference were made in the punishment, the prisoner Hiram Nicholson should have been more favored than Garnett; and he recommended that instead of permitting Hiram to be sent to the penitentiary, he should be allowed to remain in jail for one month, and then pardoned. For these reasons, I first reprieved this prisoner for one month, and at the expiration of that time granted him a full pardon." - Source: Journal of the Senate of Virginia, p. 21. 10/23/1869 - Found in violation of United States Internal Revenue Laws, and arrested.
