Harpole Harpole
The district court records are very sketchy for that period of time but in most instances the same neighbors who helped with the hanging also were the jury. I am sure, that as in other cases, they were acquitted because no one would give evidence against their neighbors.
In 1892 Chase county also had its last “neighborhood lynching” the same results happened there. There was no witnesses yet 30 men participated. But, I will check the microfilm on this the next time I have an opportunity and get back with you with a photocopy of the results. Lorna
