Almanac Used to Discredit Man's Testimony
Louis English, a Marion County farmer near Philadelphia, was convicted and sentenced to two years in state prison for theft of a horsehide after a Palmyra circuit court trial. Attorney Heather used an almanac to show the moonset that night contradicted English’s testimony about seeing Robinson place the hide in English's buggy, a line of argument recalling Lincoln's early law days. The trial — one of the hardest fought in the circuit court — began Monday morning.
