Murder and arrest in obscure 19th century case
A cabin fire exposes a brutal crime with evidence of skull injuries and arson. Suspicion initially falls on a colored man, Jack Bradley, then shifts after a swift pursuit led by Sheriff Manning and Officer Curry. Bradley is captured, with praise for the police, as broader political notes mix into the narrative.
