On December 19, 1878, Joseph Borowick, living in the south- ern part of Sullivant Township, the head of a family of Poland- ers, was shot and mortally wounded.
Investigation developed the fact that they had procured a large quantity of liquor and taken it home, when himself and family had indulged very freely in its use.
The old gentleman, while in this condition, as was his wont, undertook the task of whipping his wife. In the progress of the trouble, his step-son, Maik Borowick, became involved, and, as was supposed, in defense of his mother, fired the shot which caused the killing.
Maik was at once arrested, sent to jail, indicted at the April and tried at the August term of Circuit Court, 1879, his Honor, Judge Reeves, presiding.
A. Sample, State's Attorney, prosecuted, and Judge Tipton, of Bloomington, defended the prisoner.
The trial was beset with many difficulties. The chief wit- nesses were Poles and Bohemians, and being unable to speak our language, had to be questioned through an interpreter. The best interpreter that could be obtained was, in many instances, unable to make the witness fully understand the questions of the lawyers, or obtain an intelligent answer. The evidence was entirely cir- cumstantial, and that not of the strongest class. The weather was extremely hot, the defendant and his mother appeared large- ly indifferent to the progress of the trial, and the public took but little interest in the case.
The trial lasted three days, and a verdict of guilty of man- slaughter was rendered, and Maik Borowick was sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of five years-five days to be spent in solitary confinement and the residue at hard labor. While the prisoner manifested no great anxiety in his trial, when it was over and he understood that his punishment was imprisonment and not hanging, he seemed very highly plensed.
A trial that attracted a great deal of public interest was that of The People vs. Abram G. Ilendryx.
On April 26, 1880, in Padua Township, McLean Co., Ill., Henry Stovenour and Frank Bailey were killed, and Hendryx was on May 5 indicted by the grand jury of McLean County for committing the offense. On the petition of the defendant, change of venue was granted to Ford County, where trial was had at the December term of Circuit Court, 1880, his IIonor, Judge Reeves, presiding.
The case was very hotly contested, the people being repre- sented by State's Attorneys Porter, of McLean, and Cook, of Ford, County, and Gen. Schenck, of Indiana. Messrs. Tipton & Ryan, of Bloomington, and John R. Kinncar, of Paxton, appcaring for the defendant.
The trial lasted eleven days, while over two hundred wit- nesses were in attendance from Mclean County. Great in- terest was manifested by the public, and crowds filled the court room during the progress of the trial. The plea relied on by prisoner's counsel to secure acquittal was that of self-defense, which was urged with great ingenuity and persistency in the se- lection of the jury and during the progress of the trial. An entire day was occupied by counsel in presenting the case to the jury.
The trial was concluded late in the afternoon, and the jury then retired. After being out about three hours, a verdict of " not guilty " was returned, and the prisoner was discharged. The costs in this case to McLean County were several thousand dollars, and to Ford not a few hundred.
The following gentlemen sat on the jury in this case: Ira W. Hand, James Boyd, Charles A. Cook, Joseph Bushnell, Will- iam H. Crowe, Fred Potts, Frank P. Newhart, James F. Ellis, Jacob Snider, John Clayton, Isaac Palmer and E. Atwood.
The last homicide which our Circuit Court has been called upon to investigate is that of Abram Thorp. IIc was a young man and unmarried. He had lived in the vicinity of Paxton, near Trickel's Grove. On Sabbath morning, September 80, 1883, his dead body was found lying on the sawdust in Larkin's ice-house, located in the alley in rear of the St. Elino Restaurant. Ile had apparently been killed by a severe blow on his head.
James Ryan was at once suspected and arrested. At the Coroner's inquest, it was shown that Ryan and Thorp had a diffi- culty the night previous, during which Thorp had severely bitten Ryan's lip; that both men were more or less intoxicated, and that carly Sabbath morning Ryan had said in substance that " he had got even with Abe."
On this and other evidence, he was held for the grand jury. and was indicted in December, but obtained a continuance until the April term, 1884, when his trial was had. The case was called and jury selected on Tuesday the 8th, and verdict was rendered on the following Saturday. Some thirty witnesses were sworn on behalf the people and about the same number for the defense.
A. Sample was associated with F. L. Cook, State's Attorney, in the prosecution, which was most vigorous.
The prisoner being unable to employ counsel, his Honor, Judge Reeves, at the terin at which indictment was found, assigned ns his attorneys E. C. Gray and Judge Tipton, who were assist- ed on the trial by J. II. Moffett. The plea of Ryan was " not guilty." The evidence, though wholly circumstantial, satisfied the jury beyond doubt of the defendant's guilt. The jury retired on Friday afternoon, and Saturday morning returned their ver- diet, which was : " We the jury find the defendant guilty, and fix the term of his imprisonment in the penitentiary at thirty- three years."
Great local interest was shown in the trial, and when the ar- guments of counsel were made the court room was filled to its utmost capacity.
This was the severest penalty ever inflicted in the history of our county, and a majority of the jury were in favor ot inflicting the death penalty.
FORD COUNTY BAR.
BY ALEXANDER MC'ELROY.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
Ex-County Judge David Patton was the pioneer lawyer of Ford County, having located at Ten Mile Grove, about three miles southwest of Paxton, in the latter part of October, 1853, while Ford was yet a part of Vermilion County. He was born in Clark County, Ky., in 1806, and emigrated to Butler County, Ohio, with his parents in 1810. At the age of eighteen, he began the study of law in the office of Oliver H. Smith, at Con- nersville, Ind., and while so engaged in his studies, taught dis- trict school in the winter season to earn money to pay his current expenses. In October, 1828, he was admitted to the bar, and soon after commenced the active practice of his profession at La Fayette, Ind., where, by his natural tact and close attention to business, he secured and held for ten years a large and lucra- tive practice. Frank, upright and generous in disposition, he was held in high estecin by the people, and regarded as a leading lawyer by his professional brethren. His unguarded liberality, however, ultimately proved & snare to him financially. Ifis earnings for the ten years were soon swept away in the payment of debts for his friends, and he was compelled to start anew in life. With this object in view, he turned his face and steps westward, and located on a choice tract of 400 acres of land at the Grove above referred to. Population in his new home was too sparse to afford much profitable law business, and hence he turned his attention to farming and stock-raising, but his reputa- tion as a lawyer soon came to the ears of his new neighbors and friends, and he was frequently called to maintain or defend their rights before the local magistrates. This he did with his former zeal and success. Not a few of the regulars in the pro- fession could truthfully say they were completely suprised and often outgeneraled in these contests by this unassuming Hoosier farmer. To his efforts, the passage of the act of the Legislature creating the county of Ford, and its subsequent organization, was largely due. At a special election, held in June, 1859, he was elected Judge of the County Court by a large majority over his opponent Gideon Camp. William Swinford, of Trickles Grove, and Andrew J. Bartlett, of the Pan Handle, were chosen his Associate Justices. At the general elections in 1860. 1864 and 1868, the people called him to serve them in the same responsible office. Before the close of his fourth official term, the growing weight of years and his extensive real estate interests in Illinois and other Western States, convinced him that the remainder of his days
