Murder Trial in Ozark Mystery Centered on Connie Franklin Claim
In Mountain View Arkansas a bizarre murder case opens as a man claiming to be Connie Franklin testifies while four men, Hemman Greenway, Joe White, Hubert Hester and Bill Young, stand accused of murdering Franklin last March. The case centers on whether the alleged return from the dead proves Franklin’s fate as the prosecution argues the four killed him while he, Ruminer, and others were traveling for a wedding license. The courtroom features rivalry between the Williamson brothers, Hugh and Ben, as they lead opposing sides in a high profile local trial with key witnesses Rueben Harrest and Miss Ruminer. The story notes the unusual backwoods setting and the family ties shaping the trial.
