Hello, I'm looking for info (newspaper article etc.) on a murder in the Muncie area.,
Samuel Sharp , Henry & James Eley were charged (on July 8,1904) & I believe found
guilty of 1st degree manslaughter(on about the 26-28,1904) of John Edward Zimmerman (This
info came from the Muncie Library records online). It sounds like they protested the judge
and another was appointed ,and I'm thinking it should have made the paper , when/ if
they were convicted and what their sentences were .I know Samuel was out by the 1910
census, so the whole thing seems a bit odd, as he didn't serve much time. Thanks for
any help!!! Lori
