Murder case and local unrest hit Oberlin town
James S. Butler pleaded not guilty to a murder charge and was jailed to await the next grand jury after a post mortem revealed the wound split his vitals. Reports note his quiet, studious background as a would be minister. A warder from the pulpit condemned liquor ties to the incident. Local arrests included Babe Mumford and John Marner for incitement, fined and sent to the Cleveland workhouse. Other notes mention chicken thieves near Creston, a student R. B. Haynan jailed for theft of $25, and tensions rising in the village as Lent begins.
