Trials of Bigamy and Theft Dominate Court Session
The Thursday session focused on bigamy cases and thefts. A man was indicted for bigamy after the first wife and another man testified to a rapid second marriage and a subsequent arrest. The court showed mild mercy issuing three months’ imprisonment and a fine. Deborah Kathan, a young girl, was executed on capital charges for breaking and entering a schoolhouse dwelling and stealing a shirt and apron. A serjeant suggested the capital charge against her was weak, and the jury found her Not Guilty on most counts. Sarah Baker faced larceny charges for stealing a white frock and cotton petticoat from Ann Dawson, the infant’s guardian, with testimony indicating the event occurred in August.
