Manuscript DS signed “P. F. Garrett,” one page, 8 x 13.75, March 9, 1892. State of Texas legal document, in part: “Clerk of the District Court of Reeves County Tex. on this day personally appeared P. F. Garrett, who being by me first duly sworn on his oath says as follows to wit:—I am personally acquainted with F. H. Mendenhall the party charged in the District Court of Reeves County Texas, with the crime of Forgery, and have known him for a period of about Eight years previous hereto. I am acquainted intimately with his character, nature, disposition and infirmities. His character is and has always been good, gentlemanly, and courteous when in his right condition of mind; but I know that he has been subject, ever since I knew him, to periodic fits of insanity, and when in that condition, always exhibited an inclination to commit unlawful cats, of the same nature and kind as that of which he now stands charged; and when laboring under such mental disorder, he is not responsible for his acts, all of which I know of my own personal observations.” Signed at the conclusion by Garrett. Attractively double-matted and framed with a portrait of the lawmen to an overall size of 19.5 x 19. In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
