Dear Lori: Regarding the trial, etc. of the murder: Where all have you looked? Since you have some dates, can you call the library in Follansbee & ask for (a paid) lookup in old newspapers? If you have tried that & were refused, I have the name of a Wheeling, WV genealogist who may be able to find newspaper articles in the nearby newspapers. A murder would be in all of the town's news. -Donna
