Trial of Millard Buck for Porter's murder in Newton
The trial of Millard Buck for the murder of William Porter will be held in Newton next week. Buck, who killed Porter after a quarrel at Prairie City, has drawn public attention with claims of killing Satan and with opinions that many consider evidence of insanity. The Chronicle notes broad belief Buck was insane at the time and predicts difficulty finding a juror to convict.
