I am searching for information on the following murder.
Marion Lewis was the son of Wm S Lewis and Rutha Dunlap. His twin brother Geo Wash Lewis is buried at Radford Freewill cemetery just across the county line on Hwy 16.
---------------------------------
March 15, 1905 -- Huntsville Democrat---
Killing in Newton County---
Lee Newman has been arrested and placed in the jail at Jasper charged with the killing of Marion Lewis near Fallsville in Newton County two weeks ago.
The crime was committed at the residence of Harrison Pruitt during a dance. The head of the deceased was almost severed from his body with a knife.
Newman is only eighteen years old.
----------------------------------------
Could someone tell me if court or trial records exist for this time period.
