1868, NOV. 463 MARSHALL TRAGEDY H. H. Hedges was elected marshal of the Weston Court of Common Pleas. THE MARSHALL TRAGEDY Nov. 2 - Mrs. Jane Marshall and her two sons, John T. and William A. Marshall, lived on her farm of 160 acres, two miles west of Barry. She and her son, John T. Marshall, are found brutally murdered in different places near the house on the 2d day of November 1868. Suspicion falls, at once, upon William A. Marshall, who is the only heir of the property. Many circumstances point to his guilt; the people raise $1,000 for the conviction of the murdere, and the county court, as well as the governor, increase the sum. William A. Marshall is indicted, but is found not guilty, on a change of venue to Ray County.
