Hortman Faces Death Sentence in Cherokee Case
A 1903 Cherokee case ends with Judge Wakefield pronouncing death for the defendant after lengthy arguments by Hale Lewie and Mulvaney. The sentence, to be carried out in the penitentiary, is set for the date of March 12, 1903, with sheriff and court officials coordinating the execution and associated motions for appeal to the Supreme Court. The defendant’s family, including the murdered girl’s father and brother, attended the hearing, reacting with subdued support.
