I am trying to find information on a murder, escape, and child abduction that took place in
Walla Walla, Washington.The murder happened on Jan 1, 1861 on the Wiskey or Hog Eye
Creek putting into the
Touchet River, the victim was
Isreal D. Davis the accused
Alonzo J. Beebe. Alonzo was arrested and placed in the jail in the city of
Walla Walla, around the end of March or begining of April he escaped. He and his family, father
Philo,
Brothers Hiram and George all dissapeared taking Laura daughter of
Alonzo by Mary
Cantrall whom he never married with them. She was 6 years old at the time. Mary did go through the court system in an attempted to get her daughter back. Where would I find information on this event? Were there newspapers in the area? I would like to know if
Alonzo was ever caught and returned to
Walla Walla to face trail.
