in other words, you can name NOBODY who was NOT a common criminal or WAR CRIMINAL, who was executed for their crimes!

OK, if it'll shut you up.

Addison Waugh - clerk in the pharmacy in the Eldridge House Hotel.

Joe Eldridge - porter in the hotel and brother of the hotel owner. By all accounts he was mildly retarded and Quantrill's scum shot him anyway.

Major F. B. Bancroft, 8th Kansas. Recovering from illness contracted outside Vicksburg he was dragged outside his home and shot.

Every man in the Johnson House Hotel was ordered out and shot. Twelve died.

Dr. Jerome Griswold, local physician. Shot in front of his wife.

Josiah Trask, editor of the "Lawrence State Journal", shot with Griswold. The man who shot him then robbed his widow of her wedding ring.

Edward Fitch, school teacher.

George Holt and John Crane, owners of a shoe store. One of Quantrill's scum robbed them and then shot them.

Dennis Murphey, a 60 year old resident. One of Quantrill's scum asked him for a glass of water. When Murphey handed it to him, he took it with his left hand and then shot Murphey with the pistol he held in his right.

George Burt was handing over his wallet to one of Quantrill's scum who told it to hand it over. The man then shot Burt in the head. There were numerous examples of this happening.

August Ehles, a blacksmith, ran to hide in a corn patch carrying his infant child. One of Quantrill's scum took careful aim and shot him, and left the child crying in his arms.

George Albach was sick in bed when Quantrill's scum ordered the house evacuated. His family carried him out of the house on a mattress. Quantrill's scum fired the house and then once it was burning they shot Albach.

Charley Palmer, a printer's assistant, shot with George H. Sargent.

Those are just some of the named victims. Now, please show your evidence that they were all common criminals and/or war criminals. Put up or shut up.

SOORY, but your argument is UNpersuasive.

ALL of the persons on the kill lists were wanted for COMMON CRIMES in at least one IT, AR or MO jurisdiction. their crimes were arson, robbery,burglary,torture,rapes & coldblooded murders.

you & i have talked about this more than once & you still cling to the FICTION that the KS jayhawkers, "volunteer KS cavalry", redlegs & other border-FILTH were angelic.

UNfortunately, YOU know BETTER than that, though you protest otherwise.

free dixie,sw
