Legal System
In The Morning Appeal depicted 3 stories during the Trail, 8 stories presenting the Crime, 1 story depicted the Arrest, 1 story depicted the Retrial, 1 story depicted the Preliminary, 2 stories during the Arraignment, and 1 story detailing the sentencing of the murderer.
In the Carson City Daily Appeal depicts 11 crimes of murder and one during an arraignment.
For the majority of both The Morning Appeal and the Carson City Daily Appeal stories of just the crime that took place were reported. In the few cases that were not merely reported a crime, it tended to be coverage of the trial of the accused murderer or the arraignment of the accused. Stories depicting the trails tend to be longer and more sensationalized.
