The Murder of Sheriff W. W. Withers and Other Historic Eugene Cases
The Murder of Sheriff W. W. Withers and Other Historic Eugene Cases
Same Crime, Different Time
Oregon gained statehood in 1859, but law and order had a harder time gaining a foothold in the West. Born and raised near Eugene, popular Lane County Sheriff W.W. Withers was shot while investigating a horse theft. The trial for his murder would end in the county's last official hanging. Convicted killer Claude Branton, desperate to escape prison, went so far as to try to hold up the guards with a potato carved into the shape of a gun. The risk of death in the logging industry was high, and even technological advancements like electric streetlights posed a hazard for locals.
Author Jennifer Chambers brings to life the love, greed and madness of early Eugene.
