Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.

On r,ay 23, 1928, four bandits descended u:pon the FLst Ne.tior:.al Bank of Lamar, Colorado, perpet::-ated a r·0bhery of over $21"0,C'CO, killed tte President and the Cashier of tr..e bank, kidnaped two other err:ployees, one of whon 1ras later found m.urdered, fled across the Colorado bo:'der into western Kansas, and proceeded to a hideout. Requiring .. edicA.l ettenti"n for their wounded companion, or,e of the bandits proceeded to the home of D:::-. W.W. Weininger at Dighton, Kansas and tricked him into le>:lVing his hor.:e ar_d dri vir:[:· his car into the country norttwest of Garden City, KansRs, tr Rdminister to the v,our.ds of the injured "!:lan. After Dr. Weinj_r.e;er had finished his administrations, he was murde ed, thrown nver a canyon, and his c;:,.r pushed over after him. 'Ihe body and .ar TTere found shortly afterwe.rds. ~r.ere we1·e no lues to the identity of the robbers ex~ept a latent fingerprint fcund n the door of Dr. Weininc;er's car which was photographed and -::irculated throughout the country. It we.s received i the Identif'LC!ati0n Unit of the i visioi. of Investig8.tion in July, 192R, ro.nd shown to tl~e techni al eq_.Jloyees with the request that the pattern be clenrly im11ressed on tteir minds fer future reference. lileanwhile, the outraged ~orr.rr.unity nf Lamar, Colorad", insisted upon retribution, ar:.d William Jennings Bryan Walker, alias "'i.'J-.Li te7,'" Walker', Ch, :·les C. Clintor:., Floyd Js.rrett, and Alfred Oliver were app;·ehended in va:;:inus parts of the -:-ountr:,,·, ret·irned to Lar::ar, where seYe::·al ci tj_7,ena identified ter, as the bandits, and ttey were held for trial. After about a year had elapsed, one of t::ie employees of the Identification Unit of the Di vision of Investigation, v:hile engaF_ed in his :regul&r work of verifyinc_: curren fingerprint r.ards wtich had been identified win prior records, suddenly discovered a replica of t!'lir, latent impression in the fingerprints of William Harrison Holden, alias Joseph Leed, Stockton, Cal:ifornia, #2804-V. The identifination of this individual qs one Jake Fleagle, whose fingerprints were already in the Di vision's :'iles, was positive, and Rlthough Fleagle was not at the time in the custody of the California officers, the news of the identifination was fo:rwarded to the Kansns ann Colorado aut:- ..:i~·i ties, and resulted in a raid on the home of Fleai:,:le, vthere the fFlther and tr.e trother 0f Jake Fleagle were arrested. .A.fte:r continued questioning, Fred Flea.gle told where his trother Halph, a meu.ber of the gang, co~ld be found. talph, after being apprehended in Kunknkee, Illinois, finally weakened, Rdrr.itted his complicity and identified his corr.pcnior:.s ~s his brothe~, J~ke, Howard L. hoyston, and George J •. Abshie:'. Falph Ji'leagle, Foj'ston and Abslder subseouently v,ere exeC'uted. in Colo.:.-ado. After an extensi ·-re search, J ke Flea€le was located at Branson, Misscuri, on Octohe::.· 11-, 1930, and shot while ��- 2 - resisting arrest. The next day he died from the effects of his wound. 'i'he cases against the four men originally arrested in connectior, with this crime were, of cou:::-se, dismissed when the identity of the true perpetrators had been ::iscertaiLed. In this iLstance, fingerprint identification not only led to the establishment of the true identity of the guilty parties, but to the release from custody of persons innocent of the perticular crime, al though tho latte:::- were criminal:3 of record and have subseriuently been or..victed of other crimes. ******** *** During a raid made by Federal Prohi bi tior. Agents 0n a brewe:::-y at ~liz':l.beth, New Jersey, en September 19, 193(), one of the officers, John G. Jl'iniello, was 6hot and killed. .Among t:te persons identified as resrcnsible for the rr:urder were John XeV\nan and Albert I. Silverberg, c,.lleged gangsters eng,:,.gen in the illicit tro.ff-;_~ of liquor in tte city of Philadelphi11 and throughout the state of New Je::.·sey. Fi.ngerprints of these individuals, together with desi:!riptive data, were forwarded t() the Dj_vision of Investigation, and inforrr.ation ttat they were wanted fo:· the New Jersey mu::.·der was posted a~ain3t their records in the Di vision's finger1ffint files. Two years late::.·, on the nii::-ht of July 5, 1932, Abie Loet and Al Gordon, underworld characters were shot and killed neor the door of a reputed speakeasy in the city of St. Paul, Minnesota. A short tirr,e there3.fter, not far from the scene of the crime, two suspects, who 1:-::e.vetheir names as Joe Schaefer and Gecr{-:'e Youn{.;, were arrested by the St. Paul Police. Near where the arrest was made, the :police found two 1_,uns. i ..l th ouch the suspects denied any knowledgE.: of the murders, their finrerprints were taken by tte St. Pnul Police Depert2ent and submitted to tbe Di vision of Investigation. Upon being classified and searched these fine=-:e:..·prints were found to be identical with those of !Jewman and Sil verbe :_• p:::-ior 6 , v1ho two years h~d rrnrdered the Prohibition Officer at :Uiz·•beth, !Jew Jersey. The 1·esult of the identification ~as im~ediately communicated to the St. Pnul Police De-::iartment, and to the local authorities at Eli7'Rbeth, New Jersey. The St. Paul Pnlice Department, upon examining one of the guns found near the scene of tr.e killing, wa:1 able tn distinisuish the fragment of a latent fingerprint on the nickel su::--face just above the trigger. This print was developed by rr!eru:s of powder and photorraphed. Copies of the photograph were submitted to the Division of Investigaticn by the St. P~ul Police Departr:1ent, with the ::.·equest that the print be eXPJuined in an effort to ascertair: if it might hr.ve teen made b;i· Aither Rewrr:an or Silve:·be:!:g, whn were suspected of the murder. The fingerprint expci·ts of the fi vision, upon a thorough analysis, determined that the latent fingerprint appearing on the gun was, in fact, identical with the :•ight index finger ir.ipression of Silvl'l ·berg. The Chief 0f Police at St. raul and the County P1·osecuting Atto::.·ney were furnished with this opininn. ��- 3 - Silverberg and '..'Jewmanwere j_ndicted for tte rr;urde s and on October 20, 1932, brought to trial at st. Paul. The principal evidence relied upon by the prosecution was the gun used in the murder P.nd beari::1g the fragmentary impression of a fin~erprint. Ter,hnical fingerprint experts were used as witnesses by both prosecution and defense. During the course of the trial the Prosecutor, under the inpression that the success of the ;Jrosecution depended largely upon the fincrerprint eYidence, requested the Di vision of Investigation to irr,mediately send a technical expert to St. Paul for the purpose of corroboratinr; the ex ert witnesses of the prosecution in the identification of this fral!I'.ient ry urint. Aceordin::;ly, an eP.J._loyee of the Divisinn proceeded to St. Paul, arriving during the Jatter part of the trial. He took the wi tn8ss stand and by using the charts prepared by the expert witnesses of both the prosec tion and defense w::i.s atle to confi1.·rr. the prosecution's contention of twenty points of similarity between the latent fingerprint and the rirr.t j_ndex fincer impression of Silverberg. le was likewise able to explain satisfactorily certain ;Joints which the defense contended were dissimilarities and inconsistencies. Upon the r.onclusion of a six ninute deliberation, a verdict of guilty was ::--eturned by the Jury ar.d bott defendants were sentenced to serve life ir:rprisonment. Subsequently, seven r'lembers of the Jury expressed themselves as having tecome convinced of the positive •uilt of the ciefendants only after the introduction of the fin 6 erprint evidence. Clarence B. Hiller, a resident of Chicaro, was shot and killed in his home in that city on September 19, 1910. About twenty minutes later e. ~olored man named Thomas Jennings, whn appeared to be in a high state nf excitement, vms arrested ne11::.·l:r a mile from the plnce of the murder. The a:::resting officers had not heard of the homicide &t that time, but their suspicions were aroused because of Jennings' appearance. They found a full~~ loaded .3R caliber revolver on his person, the revolver showing signs of having been discharged recently. .Jennings was an ox- onvict, then on parole from a penitentiary. J.,. da" after Hilldr' s murda , fin;,-er11rints we1·e discovered by technical experts indicatinrr the i1:1prtnts of the left index, left middle, left ring and left little fingers of an unkr.own person, on a newl:/ 1'.lhen .Jennings' painted porch rail of Hiller's home. fingorp::•ints were taken it was found that they correspondec'l. to these latent impre3sions. Jennings was convicted of first degree murder and executed Feb::.·trn.ry 16, 1012., at Chicago. The case was of great importance in the United States because of the introduction and admission of the fingerprint testi.r.10:ny, the evidence havinf been sustained by the Supreme Court of Illinois. (Wentworth-Wilder, "?ersonal Identification", page 281.) ��- 4 - On July'?, 1929, ~-~r . .August V,lb1er, Chief of Police of Berkeley, California, transrr.itted to the Division of II'-vestigati0n certain latent irr.pressions, with the ir.fcrnatior, that they represented the OI'-ly --:lues left by a local burglar wr..o had preyed upon the c0rr.c.inunity at a certain season f0r several years.

From November 1, 1932 until January 5, 1933, Jose~h F. Cannon, of Cannon Mills, Incorporated, Concord, North Carolina, re ej_ved a total of fourteen communications de~anding a substantial ransom under threat of kidnaping both hjs two-year-old granddaughter, Ann F.eynolds, the daughter of Ann Cannon and Snith Reynolds, deceased, and his own eighteen-year-old son, Joseph F. Cannon, Jr. An officer of the Id.entification BureRu of the Charlotte, North Carolina ?olice Depart,.,er.t, upon examinj_ng one of these extortior.. notes, vras able to develop a near-perfect fj_nger irr.pression on the back of one of the letters. This lHtent print was photographed ana the Division of Investigatj_on cj_rcularized copies thereof to leadinv Identification Pureaus throur,hout tho country, with the request that the print be searched throu€h single fin~e:::'prj_nt files where they existed and that j_t be shown to fincer:,rint employees, in the ho;)e it mir,ht subsequently be identified with fin.-erprint cards which mii;ht pass throu1;:h their hnnds. During an effort to collect the ransom by l:leans of an elaborately planned scheme, one Odell Ce:rlysle Eoyles a:nc. his wife, Sue 2,achary Poyles were taken into custody by :police officers and Special ;,_-._ents of the Division of Investigation at Atlanta, Georgia, on January 10, 1£33. 'I'hese two individuals at first denied complicity in the crime but subsequently confeRsed. The fingerprints of Odell Boyles ,'1ere taken and it was found that the le tent print developed on one of the extortion notes was identical with the fin· e:::impression of his right forefinger. \'/hen confronted with this evidence he was considerably surprised ano. stated he had taken particular precautions to avoid leaving any latent ~rints on the letters he wrote. Evidence of this idenhfication of the lutent fingerprint with that of the defendant, Odell Boyles, was introduced at his trial before United States District Judre ACkornan at Atlanta, Georgia, and was an incidental fartor in the conviction of this individual on Juno 15, 1933. Odell Boyles was subsequently sentenced to serve 15 years in a United Ste.tes. Poni tt:mtiary. *********** In the case of Commonwealth versus Albright, decided in Pennsylvania, 1931, the defendant was convi ted of burglary largely because of the introduction of a latent finr:erprint found at the scene of a crime. The Superior Court of Pennsylvania sustained the evidence introduced in this case. The impressions were found on a broken pane of lass and corresponded with the actual finroerprints of 1-ubri12"ht, which also v1e:c-eintroduced as evidence in Court. The appellate court sustained the conviction sayinr: "This Commonwealth is wisely coruni tted to the principle that pr,gressi ve and scientific ��.., ., I •- - 6 - appliances and methods which belong to the various human endeavors equally to the machinery of the law.'' (Connnomvealth v. Albri[ht, Fennsyl~ania Superior 317.) belong 101 >I--********** It will be observed from the above cases that the identification facilities of the Di v::.si0n of Investigation of the U. S. Department of Justice are not confined to the determination of previou criminal histories, location of fugitives and related identification activities hut a::.·e extended to the deterrr..j_nation of the ::.dentity of criminals through the coP.Jparisor. cf latent prints found at the scene of a crime with the fin.;erprints of such criminals. There are r:ow filed in the Divisicn over 1,rv·,0,174 fingerprint records classified under the Henr: system which requires the use of all ten finqers. Of tl:is great volume of Y-ecords, about 3,f:61) cases have been selected in which fj_r.gerprints of reputed kidnapers and extortionists, as well as m ny known gangste s, are filed individ:1ally in a single fin:,'erprint file. It js possible to classify latent :;:.irints found at the scene of L crime, particularly such crimes as kidnapin_r and extortion and search the sane throu,0h this selected file to determine wl:etLer the latent ~ri.::.ts ,ere left by any of he crininals whose f'inr,er:9rints have been thus ses~reg:ated. In addition it is possible to compare such latent !)rints with the firwer i1apressions of any named suspects in connec-'.:ion with a crime, where the fin,__,erprints of such suspects are in the r,,.ain ide!'lti fj_r,13.t; n files of the Di vision. In such instances the full name of ~l:e sus-pect, tor ether with a previous arrest or commitment nurnter or, if available, the fingerpi•int c8.rd should be furnished ·n order that his fingerprints rr1ay readily be located j_n th,~ Di vision's f'ile. * * * * * * * * ** * �'·- �~- ~ .-!Pl~ I ), / s \ �.,6' '-</_ -<-i ~/~//FI .il I /. db .& J ' I.,.. ,/~ ~ <2 /. d /, &{r,J //~ ,%'/ /,~6 / ..I/ ? /,d --:ry~ -~ ~ /,~~ ii, .,I, .; - ./tJ .. -~ ,>J )>.2 I >{. ,/d �r:t'~i ~y ~ /~//9/ ~C,(· .,. -d $J<.

Title A name given to the resource Rockingham County Criminal Court: Criminal Cases Description An account of the resource This collection encompasses all criminal court cases adjudicated in Rockingham County from 1778 to 1971, spanning nearly two centuries of legal history. The records offer a comprehensive view of the county's criminal justice system, including charges ranging from petty theft and assault to more serious offenses like murder. Each case provides unique insights into the legal proceedings, punishments, and societal norms of the time, reflecting how local attitudes toward crime and justice evolved over the years. Beyond the legal aspects, these records also shed light on the social, cultural, and political environment in Rockingham County, including the impact of historical events such as the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement. Researchers will find cases involving enslaved individuals, early policing practices, and the enforcement of social and moral codes, offering a window into the daily lives and struggles of past residents. The collection serves as a valuable resource for understanding the community's response to crime, the development of legal institutions, and the broader historical context shaping the attitudes of crime in Rockingham County.
