The Liberal Lyre January 29, 1892
Seward County
Friday
January 29, 1892

Justice GIBSON's court convened yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock to continue the
trial of J.J. LEACH, Sam MINTON, B.ORNER and Rowen CHASE, charged with the
murder of Sheriff DUNN. For several days Leach has been sick, and was not able
to appear in court. Some time was spent in discussing the question as to whether
they could proceed with his trial in his absence. The State, represented by
County Attorney BEAUCHAMP and R.M. PAINTER, of Meade, argued that they could not
go on with his case, while Judge ELLIS, for the defense, claimed that they
could. They finally agreed to proceed with the trial of the three present. The
defense offered no testimony, but asked that the prisoners be admitted to bail.
The State objected, and asked that they be held. Court then adjourned until 7
o'clock last night, when the Court decided that Leach be released on bail and
the other three be committed to jail.
