Murder in 1871 Underwood to be hanged September 18

The long trial of Wesley Underwood stems from the 1871 quarrel over a boundary fence with the Menifee family in Ralls County Missouri. He was found guilty of murder, sentenced to death, with a stay and appeals leading to a second sentencing date of September 18 for execution at Palmyra. The case, tried by Judge Redd and juries, involved multiple family members and defense by Col J F Williams AG Lancaster and T L Anderson. The article notes the governor’s likely refusal of clemency and includes a lengthy reflection on political and religious shifts in France and Missouri.
