Wisdom was the aggressor, having struck Darnell over the head with a heavy whip, when the latter cut Wisdom three times with a small knife, causing death in 10 minutes. Wisdom killed a man in 1861, and was sentenced to be hung but escaped punishment, having been pardoned by Governor Fletcher.

Old Newspaper Stories About Murders In Mississippi County Missouri

OLD-NEWSPAPER mississippi county mo




In 1841, four black men, Charles Brown, James Seward, Alfred Warrick and Madison Henderson were hanged on Duncan Island for the murders of Jesse Baker and Jacob Weaver, bank tellers on Water Street in St. Louis. As many as 20,000 people, 75% of the city's population, watched, some arriving by special excursion boats. Stung by criticism after Francis McIntosh was burned alive by a mob five years earlier, city officials were determined that the men should receive a legal trial. After the executions, their heads were displayed in Corse's drug store window for several days. Brown was an abolitionist who had helped 100 slaves escape but also was part of a gang of robbers and admitted to the murders.

The Weekly Herald Dispatch, Decatur, Illinois October 29, 1892

St. Louis, Oct. 24----Strange and startling is the story told by Louis New, of 2208 North Broadway, of a murder committed last December, and for which Mike Pataschwich, a Hebrew junk dealer, was arrested at Mineral Point, a settlement some miles down on the Iron Mountain, this morning.
New says that a few days prior to last Christmas he was on the "bum" from home and got permission from Pataschwich to sleep in a stable adjoining his junk shop on the south side of Clinton, between Broadway and Ninth streets. On the 23rd a stranger dressed like a miner visited the place and seemed to be a friend of the junk dealer.
The stranger told a story of good luck out west, and exhibited a small fortune in gold that he said he accumulated in his ramblings. They talked for some time in the junk shop and then rushed the "growler" very freely. Pataschwich did not drink much of the beer, but insisted on the strange visitor consuming nearly all of it. Soon the stranger got very tipsy and quarrelsome. From angry words the pair came to blows and the junk dealer felled the stranger to the floor with the blow of a piece of iron. Then he pounced on him and cut his throat with a razor. This done, the junk dealer danced about in great glee. He dragged the body into one corner and buried it under a pile of rags and iron. Then he left the place. Here the body remained until the night of December 23.

" I was back in the stable " said New, " hearing the "Sheeny" hustling about the shop so I peeped through the cracks between the boards to see what he was doing. He had the body uncovered and was stripping it of the clothing. When he had this done he turned the pockets inside out and then began ripping the pant legs. As he ripped them I saw gold pieces fall out like rain drops, and think there must have been several hundred dollars in the pile.
" Having gathered up the gold Pataschwich dragged the body back and covered it over. About 12 o'clock that night he hauled his wagon into the stable and I helped him fill it with manure. Then he drove me out, but I watched him and saw him drag the naked body from the junk shop and pitch it in the wagon. Then he loaded the rest of the manure on top of it. The body was completely buried in manure when he drove away. I followed the wagon down to the foot of Madison Street and saw the whole wagonload dumped into the river.
On this information the police started out on a hunt for Pataschwich. They learned that he had moved some months ago further south, and today he was located at Mineral Point and arrested.
" Why didn't you tell this story before?" asked Chief Harrington when the young man finished the terrible story. " Well, I did tell it to several people, but not for some time after, and I was afraid to tell the police for fear that I would be suspected of having had a hand in it."
" Who did you tell?" " I told my pals, fellows with whom I loafed. I supposed it was in that way that you learned that I knew anything about it."
The chief admitted that it was.
New had told the story to many and repeated it so often that it finally got around to the hearing of the police. Detective Gocking of the Fourth District, was the first member of the force to hear of it. He heard the story last Saturday and looked New up. New refused at first to tell the story and was locked up. Believing the story a weird fairy tale, Capt. Matt Kiely besought the young man to deny it. This he refused to do, saying that he has not been able to sleep at night since the terrible butchery. Then he told the whole story over several times and all efforts to catch him lying proved to no avail. He was released and not molested until this morning.
In the meantime Capt. Kiely visited the scene of the alleged tragedy, on the south side of Clinton, between Broadway and Ninth streets. Here he found that everything was as New had stated it was last December. Mike Pataschwich kept a junk shop there, and the surroundings were exactly as he described them. The neighbors were then importuned, but no information of the murder could be elicited. The records were searched for missing people but availed nothing. The chief was then informed and ordered the arrest of Pataschwich. From among the neighbors it was learned that Pataschwich moved last January to Mineral Point and this morning a warrant charging him with murder was sworn out and Detective Gocking was sent after him. Gocking is expected back this evening with his prisoner.

Here is a list of bank robbers they are looking for in the St. Louis area.
If you click on each one you'll notice very few of them showed a weapon, they just hand the teller a note and casually waltz out with the cash. In the old days they had to have a master plan or 3 to 4 guys armed to the teeth to scare the crap out of everyone in the bank. Now, all they need is good penmanship and maybe a baseball cap.

Potosi Journal April 19, 1911

Deputy Constable James Richeson of Flat River, formerly of Latty, this county, had a shotgun battle with three yeggmen in "Hungarian Town" at Flat River last Monday morning and captured one of the gang and wounded another. The wounded man escaped with the third member of the gang. Sheriff London and a posse are now searching the country between Flat River and Bismarck. The two fugitives are heavily armed. The captured man gave the name of Charles Allen Shountz, Burlington, Iowa. When captured he wore 3 suits of clothes and a suit of overalls. A grip dropped by the yeggmen contained skeleton keys, steel saws, dynamite caps and fuse. When caught, the robbers were in the act of disposing of a large quantity of stolen goods to the Hungarians.
