From the Mississippi Department of Archives and History Governor Alcorn Collection. Letter from B. B. Boone at Jacinto, Mississippi, addressed to R. J. Martin (possibly intended for R. J. Mathews?), recounting the details of the case against C.C. Byers--a Tennessee man working in Tishomingo County, Mississippi, accused of stealing a horse. Boone states that Byers was questioned about the horse, and said that he purchased the horse from someone else but later turned the horse loose in the woods. Byers was unable to procure any witnesses for his case, and his parents, being impoverished and out-of-state, could neither help him nor attend his trial. Boone further states that he believes that Byers has served enough punishment for petty larceny.
