SE7 - "Truth": Edgar Vanover Hanging Appendix

Just a short episode entered as a supplement to episode 32 (Disturbed: Golden City 1859.)

Three newspaper articles reporting on the summary hanging of Edgar Vanover (by the townspeople of Golden City - September, 5 1859).  

First from the September 10, 1859 issue of the Rocky Mountain News

Second, from the September 17, 1859 issue of the Rocky Mountain News

Lastly, from the October 5, 1922 issue of the Colorado Transcript

These articles (combined) offer the best details on this tragic event, the summary hanging of a man who committed no actual crime deserving of that drastic resolution.
