Albert Lang was convicted at the September term of the District Court, 1881, of burglary, in breaking into Newton Johnson's store in Bloomfield, and getting away with $14.25 belonging to the Odd Fellows Lodge, and a watch, two rifles, and a lot of revolvers belonging to Mr. Johnson. Lang was sentenced to three years in the penintentiary, to date from October 1, 1881.
These five comprise all the prisoners now in the penitentiary eredited to Davis county.
In September, 1880, D. W. Lowery, a lad eleven years old, was sent to the reform school at Eldora, on the petition of his mother, to remain there until he becomes of age.
Clay Bain was killed at the house of his father-in-law, David Glass- bonrner, six miles northwest of Drakeville, on the 27th day of July, 1880, by David Goodwin, a hired hand, working on the place. It seems to have been in the heat of a quarrel, and although Goodwin fired two shots, the fatal one, after Bain was running away, being unarmed; nevertheless, Good- win was cleared by a jury of twelve men, in the February term, 1881, of the District Court.
Between seven and eight o'clock, Tuesday evening, Angust 23, 1881, George Brooks, an old resident, living near Floris, was fatally shot by his son Hiram, with a thirty-two caliber revolver. Hiram was arrested, and the case is now pending in the District Court.
As near as can be learned, Mr. Brooks and his wife got into a dispute

about milking the cow, he having told one of the children to do it, and she, another; Hiram coming to the help of his mother, and then shooting his father in self-defense.
In the issue of the Democratic Clarion, published in Bloomfield, August 18, 1858, is found a full account of the crime and hanging of William Hinkle, with the following heading:
EXECUTION OF WILLIAM HINKLE.
A brief account of the murder-The condemned man-The multitude assembled to witness- his death-The gallows and the ground-Scene on his arrival at the gallows-His prot- estation of innocence-Ilis " Profession "-Religious services-Breaking of the rope- and his final death.
The extreme penalty of the law was inflicted upon the ill-fated man Hinkle, last Friday afternoon (August 13), in Appanoose county, in accord- ance with the sentence of the District Court of that county. His family consisted of his wife, three children and a young woman, with whom it was surmised that Hinkle had formed a liaison. A short time after the con- finement of the wife and their third child was born, Hinkle purchased some. strychnine at S. B. Glenn's drug store in this city, alleging he procured it to kill rats. On his return home he said he would make some sling for the company; there being one or two neighbor women at his house. After they had drank he then prepared a glass for his wife, and one of the ladies. testified that she saw him take something like a small paper from his- pocket, but as his back was turned towards her she did not see him put it in the glass. When the wife drank the sling she complained of its tasting bitter, and in a very few minutes was taken with convulsions, and shortly after died in great agony. At the funeral, Hinkle manifested unusual levity, and his particular attentions to the young woman before mentioned, attracted so much attention, that an investigation was set on foot, a coro- ner's jury was summoned, the body exhumed, and a post mortem examina- tion ordered. The stomach was taken to Keokuk, and analyzed by com- petent scientifie physicians, which resulted in the unmistakable fact that the woman died from the effects of strychnine .* * * Hinkle was committed by a magistrate, and indicted by the Grand Jury. His trial was postponed from time to time, and taken on charge of venue, first to Wapello county, then to Appanoose county, where his conviction, of murder, took place at the last April term of the District Court. He then appealed to the Supreme Court, where the judgment below was confirmed, and Judge Town- send, at a special term of the District Court, in Appanoose county, on the Sth day of July, 1858, fixed the day for his execution on the 13th day of August. * * * On the day fixed for the execution, at an early hour, a large concourse of people commenced assembling on the ground, and when the execution took place, at two o'clock, there were from 8,000 to 10,000 people present to witness it, one-third of which were women and children, the sun
being intensely hot, thermometer ninety-four degrees in the shade. * * The gallows was erected in a hollow on the prairie about one-half mile west of the town of Orleans. The gentle ascent of the hills on both sides, gave a very convenient opportunity for the vast multitude to witness the execu- tion to the best possible advantage. The gallows was erected of frame

hewed timber, about ten feet square, with girths and a floor laid about six feet from the ground. Projecting from the ontward edge of this floor was a deep platform on hinges, laid horizontally and sustained by a rope extend- ing over a frame work above and coming down and fastened at the bottom of a piece of timber on the opposite side. Above the floor, the framework was eontinned to a height of about seven feet, across which was laid a piece of timber, the end of which extended over far enough to be above the drop platform, where an iron hook was fastened from which to suspend the fatal cord.
The sheriff did not arrive with the condemned man till one o'clock. He was escorted by a military guard of eighty horsemen, commanded by Judge Dudley and Col. MeGowan, and about twenty foot guards. They were merely mustered in by the sheriff as special police. They formed a circle around the gallows, being a rather grotesque looking crowd, some armed with rifles, shot-guns, muskets, pistols, spears, and almost every other kind of a weapon. The wagon containing the sheriff, the prisoner and his spir- itnal adviser, Rev. William Smith, then entered this enclosure, in company with the prisoner's friends, the county officers of Davis and Appanoose counties, the foot gnards, and editors and reporters for the press. The prisoner was taken from the wagon, and after taking leave of his friends was. assisted npon the platform, and after prayers and singing the song, "There is a fountain filled with blood," the sheriff read the warrant of execution, which was in full legal form.
A short time before he had handed to Capt. Crawford a paper, reading as- follows:
"Profession: I do solemnly profess before God and this crowd assembled to witness my death, that I am innocent of the death of my wife. I never poisoned her. I know nothing of it. My life is sworn away falsely, and from the decision of all men I appeal to the judgment seat of Almighty God, who shall bring to light all hidden things. I now repent of all the sins I am guilty of before God. I appeal to Jesus Christ my Savior, for the remission of my sins. God so loveth the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish but have everlasting life. I die in peace with God and all mankind. Into thy hands, O God, I commit my spirit. I know Ed. Grinstead is the eanse of my death. He swore lies willfully and knowingly against me. EDWARD ILINKLE."
The rope prepared, was made of linen thread abont one half of an inch in diameter, was placed around his neck, and he was lead out on the platform exhibiting a great deal of fortitude. The cord was then attached to the. hook in the beam above, the death cap placed over his eyes, and precisely at two o'clock the sheriff eut the rope that held the platform. As the drop. fell (the fall was abont three feet), the sudden concussion of his weight snapped the rope, and he fell stunned and bruised to the ground. The scene- was truly a horrifying spectacle, and the feelings of the mass of people at the sheriff were intense. The wretched man was then taken back upon the scaffold where a stronger rope was adjusted around his neek, the drop fell again and William Hinkle was in the throes of death. In thirty minutes he was cut down, dead, placed in his eoffin and delivered to his friends. This ended this solemn tragedy.
A number of people still living in the county who were cognizant of all

the facts at the time, utterly disbelieve in his guilt. They call it a judicial murder.
The following is the amount of fines collected and paid into the county treasury of Davis countyfor ten years up to August, 1881: For 1871,8364; for 1872 $516.40; for 1873,8441.25 ; for 1874, $286.35; for 1875, 8363.71 ; for 1876 $330; for 1877, 8132; for 1878, $215; for 1879, $182.50; for 1880, $49.50; making a total of $2,880.71 for the ten years, all of which went into the school fund. The cost of criminal prosecutions and other criminal expenses which the county had to pay, from September 30, 1879, to September 30, 1880, amounted to $1,943.68, divided as follows: Witnesses, $910.05; pros- ecuting attorney, $140; sheriff, clerk, constable, and justices' fees, $859.63; attorneys for defendants, $30; jurors before justice of the peace, $3; and from September 30, 1880, to September 30, 1881, amounted to $2,824.81, divided as follows: Witnesses, $1,100.15; prosecuting attorney, $100; sher- iff and bailiff's, $987.76; justices and constables, $372.50; attorneys for de- fendants, $40; jurors before justices, $39.40; jail expenses, $185.
Davis county has been exceptionally free from that bane of taxpayers, a criminal history; almost all of it being connected with disloyalty during the war. The crimes of incendiarism, burglary, robbery, and malieions in- terference with the rights of others, in any form, indicate by their scarcity a lack of that vicious material which is requisite for the commission of these offenses.
THE WAR RECORD OF DAVIS COUNTY.
The most formidable rebellion that ever tested the strength of a nation, was inaugurated in the southern portion of this union in 1861, the history of which is written in the blood of the country's patriots. It was the cul- mination of nearly a century of national discord between the two sections of the union, and the conflict of arms was the final arbiter as to whether the union of our father's should remain as one, or twain. The signal was sounded, and the flag over Sumter received the first assault on Friday, the 12th day of April, 1861. It was a grave period in the life of our young nation, one which tested the mettle, the patriotism of her people, unschooled as they were in the practice of war. But that signal gun sounded the alarm, and the fire of valor leaped from bosom to bosom, until the whole land was ablaze, and every strong arm of the lovers of their country and hearthstone, was quick to strike in their defense.
The stately monuments in national cemeteries, and the thousands of sol- itary and nunoticed hillocks beneath which rest the remains of armies of

HISTORY OF DAVIS COUNTY.
heroes proelaim the cost at which the great rebellion which threatened the national life was subdued. This war, with all its vast and incalculable losses and sacrifices, formed a chapter in the nation's life not to be easily forgotten, and should be handed down to posterity.
The first proclamation ever issued for military forees to maintain our national supremaey from internal confliet, was that of Aprill 15, 1861, by President Lincoln, as follows:
WHEREAS, The laws of the United States have been, and now are opposed in several states by combinations too powerful to be suppressed in an ordinary way, I therefore call for the militia of the several states of the union to the aggregate number of 75,000, to suppress said combination and execute the laws. I appeal to all loyal citizens for State aid in this effort to maintain the laws, integrity, national union, perpetuity of popular government, and redress wrongs long enough endured. The first service assigned forces will probably be to repossess forts, places and property which have been seized from the union. The utmost care should be taken, consistent with our object, to avoid devastation, destruction and interference with the property of peaceful citizens in any part of the country; and I hereby command persons composing the aforesaid combinations to disperse within twenty days from date.
I hereby convene both houses of congress for the 4th day of July next, to determine upon measures for the public safety as its interests may demand.
(Signed) ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States.
By W. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State.
In pursuance of the foregoing proclamation of the president, the follow -. ing proclamation from the executive of Iowa, Gov. Kirkwood, was issued April 17, 1861:
WHEREAS, The president of the United States has made a requisition upon the executive of the State of Iowa for one regiment of militia to aid the federal government in enforcing its laws and suppressing rebellion.
Now, therefore, I, Samuel J. Kirkwood, governor of the State of Iowa, do issue this proc- lamation, and hereby call upon the militia of this State immediately to form in the different counties, volunteer companies, with a view of entering the military service of the United States for the purpose aforesaid. The regiment at present required will consist of ten com- panies of at least seventy-eight men each, including one captain and two lieutenants to be elected by each company. Under the present requisition, only one regiment can be accepted and the companies accepted must hold themselves in readiness for duty by the 20th of May next at the furthest. If a sufficient number of companies are tendered their services may be required. If more companies are formed and reported than can be received under the pres- ent call, their services may be required in the event of another requisition upon the State. The nation is in peril. A fearful attempt is being made to overthrow the constitution and dissever the Union. The aid of every loyal citizen is invoked to sustain the general govern- ment. For the honor of our State let the requirement of the president be cheerfully and promptly met. SAMUEL J. KIRKWOOD.
JOWA CITY, April 17, 1861.
The foregoing proclamation of the president was followed by another, dated May 3, 1861, ealling for 42,034 volunteers to serve for three years,

unless sooner discharged, which was also followed by one from the governor of Iowa in responce thereto, dated September 10, 1861. Again, July 2, 1862, the president called for 300,000 more volunteers, to which gallant Iowa promptly responded through the appeal of her executive of July 9, 1861.
To all these calls for aid to suppress the rebellion, Davis county responded with loyal valor and promptness, as shown by the war records of the State. Unlike some of the border counties, the war element was largely in the as- cendant, with no very serious party conflicts to disturb the loyal spirit of the people; though some of the militia forces of the county were called upon in the years of the war to protect the people from the raids and murderous depredations of Missouri " bushwhackers."
These forees were under the command of Captain Hosea B. Horn, Lieu- tenant Colonel Samuel A. Moore, aid-de-camp to Governor Stone, and Colonel James B. Weaver. Full and interesting reports of the depredations on the Southern border, made by Captain Horn, and Lieutenant Colonel Moore appear at the elose of this chapter. Following is the complete
