Higginbotham Convicted of Second Degree Murder in Tabert Case
Twenty years after the Putnam lumber camp whipping, Higginbotham is found guilty of second degree murder in the death of Martin Tabert of North Dakota. He receives a 20 year sentence, then released on a 10 000 dollar bond pending appeal. The jury deliberated one hour and twenty minutes. The defense admitted the whipping but argued it was legal under rules permitting up to ten lashes. Tabert's death led to abolition of whipping and the sheriff and county judge were ousted over their roles in Tabert’s jail sentence for riding a freight train. The sheriff acknowledged an agreement with the Putnam Company to supply prisoners for twenty dollars each.
