Monroe Journal October 23, 1902
Circuit Court adjourned Saturday after a busy week and the Judge and Solicitor 
returned to their homes.  The case exciting the greatest interest tried during 
the term was that of the State VS Jesse Pittman, charged with the murder of 
the late Sheriff John S. Harrengton.  This case was called Wednesday morning 
and occupied all that and the following day, the State being represented by 
Solicitor Elmore, Stallings, and McCorvey, and the defense by Hibbard, Miller, 
Wiggins, Hybart and Bayles.  The case was argued with ability and at 
considerable length on each side, and went to the jury under the charge of the 
Court about noon Friday.  The jury shortly afterwards returned a verdict 
of "Not guilty".  Mr. Pittman was released on bond in other cases pending 
against him.
