Poachers Suspected in Bourquin Murder Case
Bourquin, a game protector with a long record, was found dead in a buggy beside his mule after a shooting on his land. A black man named Joe Miller confessed at one point, naming a white man “Snapp” and a $25 payoff, but detectives later shifted focus. Indictments followed against Potter and his son amid threats and competing motives in a complex case.
