Susan B. Anthony's Petition to Congress
(January
12, 1874)
Last Page
Anthony submitted a petition to the U. S. Congress on January
12, 1874, concerning her 1873 conviction for illegal voting in the
1872
federal election. Anthony's petition asked "that the fine
imposed
upon your petitioner be remitted, as an expression of the sense of
this
high tribunal that her conviction was unjust."
