The case stems from the Jim Cummings express robbery on the Frisco road in 1886, yielding $53,000. Robbers Wittrock Haight and Weaver were captured in Chicago. $41,000 recovered. The defendants exonerated the express messenger and alleged Damsell and Pinkerton detectives hounded him. The trial spanned over two weeks with extensive testimony.
