Yesterday’s answer
a.
Invited the officer in
for dinner
Two years after John’s birth
came another family landmark. At the height of federal prosecution for unlawful
cohabitation, William was indicted by a grand jury in September 1884, convicted
in December, and sentenced to six month’s
incarceration in the Arizona Territorial Prison at Yuma. Apparently, the
territorial marshal gave William ample notice of his intention to arrest him,
and William could have easily disappeared into the “underground,” as many did.
However, he made a different decision, greeting the marshal and asking him in
to dinner. “I felt so bad I left the room [and] would not see him, “ recorded
the usually hospitable Lucy.” After dinner he [the marshal] went back to
Holebrook”, leaving William to follow on his own. William traveled the thirty
miles to Holbrook in time to board the train for Prescott in the marshal’s
company.
