There is much controversy on who killed James Trotter, this James Trotter is believed to be the son of Henry Otis Trotter because of the naming of his two sisters in the letters and court records.

Dyer McJunkins was tried and found quilty of the murder but many believe that either Dyer McJunkins and John Howard together killed him, or was it really John Howard that did the dirty deed??

Read all of the articles, letters and documents before you decide. This is very interesting reading.
