RICHARD HARRISON Arizona Republican Newspaper March 30, 1905 Jerry Sheehy was convicted and is serving time in Yuma for the killing of his best friend Richard Harrison in Santa Cruz County. Among the grounds on which an appeal in the Sheehy case was based was the admission by the trial court of a statement by Harrison after the shooting which he called attention to the fact that he was not armed when Sheehy shot him. It could not be regarded as a dying statement and it was close to the borderline of hearsay testimony but the court held that in any event it was insufficient for a reversal of the case. Richard Harrison January 18, 1904 A fatality seems to be attending the well known Harrison family of Washington Camp, Santa Cruz County. Richard Harrison, the son of Judge Harrison, and a brother in law of Hon. D.G. Chalmers, the Speaker of the House of the Nineteenth Legislature, who was killed by Jerry Sheehy last Friday near Washington camp, is the second son of that family to meet a violent death in the same locality within two years. A little less than two years ago an older son was killed at Washington by a man by the name of Morgan, who is now serving twenty years at Yuma. The facts of the killing last Friday are not all known yet. It is reported that it was the culminating incident in a quarrel about some cattle. There is a suspicion though that there was some other cause. Harrison and Sheehy had for several years been running mates. They had been particularly chummy and taken part in several escapades and in one affair that could not be called an escapade. It was an assault one day on Hon. Colin Cameron whom they met on the range at Lochiel. They dismounted from their horses and pulling Mr. Cameron from his horse beat him almost into insensibility. The case was taken into a U.S. court and after a stubborn trial they were acquitted. Richard Harrison was the youngest member of the Harrison family.
