Marshall Trial Yields Not Guilty Verdict in Wood Case
In Marshall, the trial of John Watson Wood for the Sail Aulgur murder began before Judge Rich and ended with a not guilty verdict. Key witnesses described the September 1900 Marshall station robbery and shooting, while defense testimony placed Wood at other locations during the dates. The jury included Benjamin F Bray and others, with the court denying a motion to admit a letter from Fancy Jackson.
