Trial of Daniel Dean
The Daniel Dean Trial of Scott County, Virginia was a trial that took place in the town of Estiville (Gate City), Virginia in July 1877. What makes this trial unique is that it was the first and only time that an individual was convicted of murder in the state of Virginia based solely on circumstantial evidence.
==History==
On June 25, 1877, Henry Fugate was found shot in the back on his farm while plowing his fields. The farm was between Nickelsville and Estillville (Gate City) Virginia. Relatives heard the shot, and saw Fugate’s plow horse galloping across the field. They found Fugate lying in the field. He was conscious long enough to tell them that he had been shot from the tree line that bordered the field. Although the wound was fatal, he lived for two days, but was unable to be revived. Suspicion fell on a neighbor that lived no more than a half mile away, Daniel Dean. Several months before, he and Fugate had a falling-out, when Henry Fugate and his father were going to testify in a perjury case against Dean in July. Dean was arrested, but before he could be taken to Estillville jail, he escaped and attempted to make a run into the mountains. He was then captured and taken straight to the Estillville jail to await trail. Because he tried to escape, many of Dean's neighbors believed him guilty. Why else would he make a run for it unless he was guilty? He was represented by the best defense attorney at the time, Patrick Hagan, who founded the town of Dungannon, Virginia. Patrick Hagan felt that Daniel was so innocent that he refused to work for any money.
