Wichita Vidette (Wichita, KS) Thur Nov 24, 1870 Pg 3 1870

   Mr. P. W. Crawford and his two sons, William D.
and James F., living in the southern part of the
county, were arrested on Wednesday night, on
complaint of one Wallingford. The complaint 
alleges that they were concerned in the killing
of the Booths, Smith and Corbin. Our opinion is,
that the charge is trumped up, and owes its
origin to spite. The Crawfords are new settlers,
have taken claims and are making ever lawful
effort to establish themselves in their new
homes. That they should be permitted to be
persecuted on the mere state of a man whose
character, even here, is questionable in the
extreme, is something we can not understand.
The Crawfords have been taken to Augusta for
examination. We shall await the result of that
examination, and further developments, after
which we shall publish some facts anything
but flattering to certain parties.
