Davenport Gazette September 14, 1843
Davenport Gazette, Davenport, Iowa Territory, September 14, 1843.
The three Indians tried in Dubuque for the murder of the Teagarden family were 
found guilty and sentenced to be hung on the 12th inst., but subsequently have 
been reprieved until the 13th of October.

Davenport Gazette, Davenport, Iowa Territory, October 19, 1843.
Another reprieve- The Indians under sentence of death at Dubuque, have been 
granted another respite of three weeks by the Governor. His object is to hear 
of the action of the President, to whom he has applied for pardon, before he 
allows them to be “weighed,” as they term it.

Davenport Gazette, Davenport, Iowa Territory, November 14, 1843.
The Dubuque Transcript says:
“That the Indian, who by the mutual confession, appears to be the least guilty 
in the murder of the Teagarden family, has been set at liberty.”
