William Jackson Marion
In May 1872, William Jackson Marion and John Cameron, two friends from Kansas, left Liberty, Nebraska, headed to work on the railroad. On May 5, 1872, Marion returned to his Mother in law's home near Liberty with Cameron’s team of horses. Marion's mother-in-law suspected that Marion had killed Cameron, and eventually Marion left Nebraska. In March, 1873, a body/skeleton was found in a Gage County, Nebraska riverbed, wearing clothing that unidentified witnesses claimed to be John Cameron's. Marion was named a suspect, although he was unable to be located.
==Arrest and prosecution of William Jackson Marion==
In December, 1882, Marion was located in the county jail at Sedan, Kansas, in Chautauqua County, awaiting trial on a charge of stealing. He was taken to Beatrice, Nebraska where he was indicted for the murder of John Cameron. A jury convicted him, and the judge sentenced him to death. The trial took two months. On appeal, the Nebraska Supreme Court vacated the conviction and ordered a new trial, noting that under Nebraska law at the time of the murder, a death sentence had to be entered by a jury, not a judge. Upon his second conviction, Marion was again sentenced to death and, after losing a second appeal, was hanged in Beatrice, Nebraska on March 25, 1887. An article in the Omaha Daily Bee on March 26, 1887 declared there to be “no doubt that he was guilty and also guilty of other murders in the Indian Territory.”
