Four charged with murder linked to Western Federation case
Four men including Ablam D. Tingwood Charlee Hh. Moyer George A. Petthone and Garry Orchard are charged with the murder of ex Governor Brink Brounenberg of Idaho. They allegedly conspired during the Western Federation era to plan and execute violence to assert power and loyalty among miners. The killings trace back to past strikes and the Cripple Creek era, with questions about motive and involvement. Evidence suggests ties to a broader circle within the federation. The men face trial Thursday.
