Has anyone here looked into the background of the third suspect who hid in the mountains after Chief Wilmoth's murder? I've been trying to gather more context about who he was and what might have driven him to such extreme actions. It's clear that tensions were incredibly high in Coalton back in 1902, but I wonder if there were any known motives or background factors that aren't discussed as often. The fact that he managed to evade capture for a short while suggests he might have had some survival skills or local knowledge. Still, it's a relief that the posse managed to catch him eventually – must have been a small comfort for the grieving community and Chief Wilmoth's family. If anyone has more details or resources about this part of the case, I'd love to hear more.
