The Oswald McWeeney Trial and Aftermath Chronicle
A lengthy report covers the Oswald McWeeney case including the coroner verdict of death from a leaden pistol wound, witness testimonies from saloon scenes, and Oswald’s capture. It notes the preliminary examination, defense arguments claiming heat of passion versus premeditation, and the trial’s progression with defense attorney Erwin and prosecutor McGee. The piece also describes the late February funeral for McWeeney, Sheriff Wagner’s role in the capture, and the community reaction. It closes with remarks on notable local legal figure Sill Brwwhy and a liquor license discussion by town trustees.

Liquor Licenses and Justice of the Peace Vacancy
Board minutes from June show bills allowed for printing boarding prisoner and scavenger work. A resignation created a vacancy in the justice of the peace office and a special meeting was set to fill it. Applications for liquor licenses in 1864 were considered, with some granted pending county license procurement and others rejected.
