I am looking for information on Emory Smith convicted of Murder on Nov 9 1876, He was sent to the State Penitentiary from El Paso. He was 59 years old, a farmer, gave his place of birth as Carrolton Kentucky, he was married, identified his wife as Lucy Ann Smith residing in Chico Pueblo Co, he was sentenced to One year in prison and released after 11 months on Oct 9 1877. Also sent to the prison from El Paso on the same date were: 1. Alphonso W Ellis age 29 charged with Larceny an Assault to Kill sentenced to 6 years, He was the son of David H Ellis and Sarah M, his wife was Cora T Ellis, He was born in Melrose Mass. His parents resided in Centralia, his wife in Mass,he was a farmer .2. Charles Wilson convicted of Larceny sentenced to 3 years, aged 18 born in Mt Sterling Illinois, he was single, a farmer 3. George Lewis aged 29 charged with Burglary, Larceny, and Assault to Kill he was sentenced to 6 years, he was a "Negro" Barber born in Greene County Ohio his parents lived in Logan County Ohio, he was not married. I am including the information on these other 3 convicts sent from El Paso as I think it odd that Burglary, Larceny, and Assault to Kill, all carried stiffer sentences than Emory Smith received for Murder...I would be very interested in knowing the particulars of his case. Perhaps there is a newspaper account of the Court cases of Nov 9th 1876. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
