The Oberlin House Tragedy Witness Accounts Unfold
Canton court hours late on Friday and Saturday hearings reveal Mrs. George discussing threats against Saxton and Sample George. Testimony notes gunpowder scent on her hands after arrest and a sequence of conversations about marriage, revenge, and alleged revolver use. Witnesses place her near Althouse residence and describe dramatic statements, with rulings on admissibility of handwriting and chemical evidence shaping the case.
Objection overruled in testimony about shooting scene
The defense objection was overruled as a witness described light from street windows at a grocery, rough front windows, and locating the shooter near the Gis house. She detailed seeing Batton after crossing the street, testifying about lighting, house positions, morphine use, and her conversations with Mrs. Althouse and Dr. Leininger while recounting events and prior residence details in Cleveland.
