Adams county court to open with few cases and bigamy charge
The August term of Adams county court will start August 23 and be short with no civil sessions in Common Pleas. Only minor criminal cases appear on the docket, including Rebecca Byron's bigamy charge and several admitted guilty pleas. A long lull in marriage license applications ended with Lewis Williams and Mae Wifer obtaining a license. The article notes various minor criminal actions and a local note on preferred remedies.
