Michigan Death Index Ledger 147 Wheeler, James Death date: 22 Dec 1872 County: Lenawee (Not sure about this article - if it even fits into your family line) The Tecumseh Herald Tecumseh, Lenawee County, Michigan August 15, 1861 Issue Arrest of an Old Prisoner Constable Randall of Hudson arrested a young man named Erastus Wheeler on Tuesday last at that village, on a charge of assault with intent to kill, the crime having been committed near South Bend, tow years ago last January. A difficulty occurred between a brother-in-law of Wheeler and a man named Wm. Ruple. The case was tried before the court and the latter obtained a judgment against the former for $10,000. Wheeler thereupon was hired to kill Mr. Ruple. He tried it but only succeeded in severely wounding him. He was sentenced to State Prison for eight years, but after imprisoned for a short time, his lawyer obtained a new trial and confined in jail awaiting a new trial, he managed to escape. A reward of $100 was offered for his arrest, which will probably be awarded t Const. Randall and Deputy Sheriff Burtous, who took him to the Adrian jail. He was a member of the Adrian Cadets and went by the name of John E. TenEyck, in the company.
