This reduces to proving that $\displaystyle f(t)=\frac{1} {2\pi i} \lim\limits_{T\to\infty} \int_{\sigma-iT}^{\sigma+iT} \int_0^\infty f(t)\,dt\,ds$ I don't know where to continue from here. I know I'm done by the Cauchy Integral Formula if I can prove that $\displaystyle\lim\limits_{T\to\infty} \int_{\sigma-iT}^{\sigma+iT}\int_0^\infty f(t)\,dt\,ds=\oint_{\gamma} \frac{f'(z)} {z-t}\,dz$ where $\gamma$ is some contour in the complex plane whose interior region contains $t$ and is traversed counter-clockwise. However, at the moment I am stuck and do not know how to continue. Any thoughts? Note: The definition I am using for the Laplace Transform is $\displaystyle \mathscr L\{f(t)\}=\int_{0}^\infty e^{-st} f(t)\,dt$
