Walters
Walters was held in the Lewiston jail in Idaho, according to The Idaho World. In a letter printed by that paper on June 22, 1871, A. E. Isham, Esq., of Lewiston, said about twenty men from Camas Prairie broke open the jail on the night of Friday, June 9, took Walters from custody and hanged him without ceremony. The paper reports that his case had been appealed to the Supreme Court, which had stayed his execution, and that some people objected to the appeal and decided to act themselves. Other 1871 papers placed the hanging at Lewiston, California.
