Aug 15, 1914, Joe Hill writes to the editor of the Salt Lake Telegram:
State Prison
Aug. 15, 1915
Editor, Salt Lake Telegram,
Salt Lake City, UtahSir-…..In spite of all the hideous pictures and all the bad things said and printed about me, I had only been arrested once before in my life, and that was in San Pedro, Cal. At that time of the stevedores’ and dock workers’ strike I was secretary of the strike committee, and I suppose I was a little too active to suit the chief of the burg, so he arrested me and gave me thirty days in the city jail for “vagrancy”–and there you have the full extent of my “criminal record.”
I have worked hard for a living and paid for everything I got, and my spare time I spend by painting pictures, writing songs and composing music.
Now, if the people of the State of Utah, want to shoot me without giving me half a chance to state my side of the case, then bring on your firing squads–I am ready for you.
I have lived like an artist and I shall die like an artist. Respectfully yours,
Joseph Hillstrom
