Today, the volunteers in our Local Records Project reminded me that they had just processed (for microfilming) a case concerning a double hanging. The murderers called themselves the "Hamilton Brothers" but really they were not related. They tricked a young man from Holden, Mo. into getting off the train between stops, promising him a lemonade. Then they killed and robbed him. A hand cut graphic in the newspaper depicted the gruesome event of their hanging, and MANY people attended!.
