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
