Record of a dramatic prison execution near Sedgwick County
A condemned U S prisoner faced the scaffold at Sedgwick County Kansas amid a large curious crowd. The attempted reprieve failed when a letter from a United States Marshal stated the president would not intervene. Flora Woodward Tibbits of Ann Arbor is the first Michigan woman seeking admission to the supreme court bar. Numerous odd wills and legal quirks are noted, including a four line Missouri farmer will and a complex Kent NY estate with scaled heir payments.
