    3. Ellettsville (Monroe County, Indiana) Citizen, March 26, 1892, p. 1. NOTE: Consider Brannam as a spelling variant of Brannaman. NOT GUILTY So Says the Jurymen after Being Out All Night The Webb murder trial came to an end when on yesterday morning at 7:30 o'clock the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty, and today Marion Wood is a free man. It will be remembered by our readers that this trial grew out of a finding of the grand jury at its January term charging Marion Wood with the murder of John T. Webb on Nov. 14, 1891, at a lonely place on Lost River near Webb's residence. The trial has been in progress since Tuesday the 15th, occupying seven days. There is yet some strong feeling existing in the matter, but we shall not say anything regarding it. Our readers are so well acquainted with the testimony given in that for want of space we will not attempt a rehearsal. The defense was conducted by Alspaugh (illegible), Lingle and Farrell while the prosecution was ably represented by Buskirk, Brannaman and Wright-Orleans Progress.
