Laughlin, Dick - While attending school at the Laughlin School house on
Big Niangua, near Gunter springs, in the winter of 1873-74, Emanuel
Bunch and Dick Laughlin, together with other pupils, got into an alter-
cation, in which Laughlin was killed with a rock, thrown at him by
Bunch.  Afterward Bunch and his father, James Bunch, the latter having
uttered certain words which seemed to connect him as an accomplice, 
were indicted for the murder, and on the 18th of March, 1874, they were
arraigned for trial, and answered the charge by a plea of "not guilty."
Two days later, upon application they were granted a change of venue to
Moniteau county, where they were tried, the father being acquitted and
the son, Emanuel, receiving a sentence of two years' imprisonment in
the penitentiary.
