Brown (?), Henry Anderson, James Park, John Evans, Thomas W..(word unreadable), Joseph J. Brown, William Reynolds, William P. (word unreadable), James Waggoner, John D. Carter and George W. McCullough. This jury brought in a verdict of “guilty of murder in the first degree, as charged in the indictment.” on the date named above. On January 19, a new trial was granted, and a change of venue to Washington County also granted.”
