Waggoner, Fred Telluride Daily Journal 11-24-1921 – Quarrel End in Death of Durango Man – Fred Waggoner is Believed Insane After Shooting Busser – Durango, Colo., Nov. 23. – Nick Busser is dead and Fred Waggoner is believed insane following an altercation which resulted in shooting at the home of Waggoner last evening.  Both men are well known here.  The cause of the shooting has not been determined.
Waggoner, Fred Telluride Daily Journal 11-25-1921 – Cheap Liquor Responsible For Shooting – Fred Waggoner Appears Insane After Murdering Busser – Durango, Colo., Nov. 25. – Bootleg whisky is believed to have been the sole cause of the shooting and killing of Nick Busser by Fred Waggoner at the latter's cabin on Trouble mesa on the night of November 23.  After an all-night vigil, following a skirmish with Waggoner, the posse descended upon his cabin yesterday and found him standing guard over the dying man.  Busser was taken to the Mercy hospital, where he died without regaining consciousness.  Waggoner appears dazed and it is difficult to determine whether his mental balance has been permanently disturbed, or whether he is merely affected by the liquor.

Wagner, George E. Boulder Daily Camera 8-11-1896 – Local News – Sheriff Dyer left for Pueblo this morning, having in charge George E. Wagoner, of Lafayette. The insane man Wagoner has claimed that the sheriff has treated his case wrong, in giving him chicken to eat instead of hay. He is particular about his diet, as he imagines he is a fast sprint and should be fed on hay. He goes further and insists that second growth alfalfa is the only proper diet for a man in training for races. The poor fellow's peculiar demands will be humored at the insane asylum.

Wagner, John C. Aspen Weekly Times 12-6-1890 – Tried to Murder His Wife – From Tuesday's Daily Times – Yesterday afternoon the report quickly spread around town that a man had murdered his wife. For a time there was great excitement out on Cooper avenue and many anxious inquiries were made. Although the woman was not murdered, she escaped almost by a miracle and is quite badly hurt. It seems the deed is that of an insane man and his case will be investigated. The examination on the charge of assault with intent to kill was continued last evening in Judge Prentiss' court to allow time for the county court to inquire into the man's sanity. If the man be insane of course this relieves the man of responsibility while not detracting from the horror of the affair. John C. Wagner is the name of the unfortunate man. He has been employed on the Aspen mine. He came home yesterday and without provocation picked up the ax and attempted to brain his wife. The woman struggled bravely for her life with the madman and narrowly escaped death. She received a blow with the pole of the ax that made a very bad wound on her head, but it will not necessarily prove fatal. The woman's screams attracted her neighbors on East Cooper avenue and two other women ran for the police. Officer Warner was found and hurried to the scene. In the meantime Wagner had desisted from his purpose of murder and had escaped from the house. Warner went to search for him and found him in the Roaring Fork river. The man was standing waist deep in the cold ice water and was praying fervently. He had evidently gone in to drown himself and was uttering his last prayer. He would put his head under water but would bring it out in time to breathe. When Mr. Warner saw him he told him to come out and the fellow obeyed without a murmur. On the way to jail the man kept talking about $600, but his words were meaningless. He could not give any account of himself and it was plain the fellow was not in his right mind.

Wahl, Matilda Littleton Independent 5-12-1922 - Mrs. R. H. Blackman and Miss Margaret Ennis went to Pueblo Wednesday morning.  They took Matilda Wahl of Englewood to the state insane asylum.
Waite, ? Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 9-22-1886 – Dementia Victims. Oakley, the unfortunate little hunch-back, whose reason was temporarily dethroned, and who, after being adjudged insane, was sent from this county to the asylum for the insane at Pueblo, has returned much improved, and is again visible about the resorts. It has always been maintained by his friends and intimate acquaintances that this was the result of a misfortune by which he was overtaken while in the employ of a railroad and occupying a responsible position in the bridge department several years ago. At that time he was on a falling building and crushed beneath its rafters, never recovered from the spinal injuries. He had accumulated considerable money which disappeared with his extravagance, and he was again thrown on his own resources. Of the asylum he speaks in high terms, saying that under the circumstances he could have demanded no better treatment. And he was among a large group sent from this city. There was Waite, the barber, who had in a fit of derangement and insane frenzy attempted to cut his throat. It was said of Waite that his lunacy had been the result of vaccination, the virus used by the physician having apparently set his body on fire. No sooner had the stuff been injected in his arm than he was prostrated, and the hot burning fever began to prey on him. The disease with which he had been unwittingly inoculated began to manifest itself in sickening eruptions on every portion of the body. He consulted the doctors and finally sought relief in the properties of the mountain springs. From these he derived no benefit however. His mind was racked, and returning to the city he grew desperate. One night in February last he seized a razor and drew it violently across his throat. He was then placed in the county jail and after an inquiry had been made in his case, he was sent to the insane asylum. Oakley says he is yet very violent, and his powerful physique is rapidly crumbling beneath the terrible disease. His days, he believes are numbered. At the time this unfortunate man was there, Jack Duggan was raving in one of the apartments, the warden expressing but little hope for his recovery from the first. The awful hallucinations beneath which he fell continued to grow worse from day to day and men shuddered as they heard him day and night in convulsions. His form is said to have wasted like the sensitive plant before the breath of the deadly sirocco, until he was placed as helpless as an invalid in the hospital department. Having exhausted his powers of resistance the warden for the first time expressed a hope of driving the grim demon from his mind, but death came to his relief and one morning he passed away into the silent realms of eternity. Peterson, the irresponsible slayer of one of the workmen on the Iron Silver mine several years ago is still in the asylum, having grown gradually worse until today little hope is entertained for him. He was never violent but moved about his cell in an aimless manner and talking incoherently on some topic the mortal had little to do with. It is thought his condition was vexed by the mock trial to which he was subjected on being placed in the jail, a jury of jailbirds having found him guilty of murder, and sentenced him to hang by the neck. In his delirium he believes himself convicted by a genuine authority, and demanded of the prisoners an execution at their hands. And he believes today that he is to be hung for the murder of his rival for the woman's affections, the difficulty having originated over the contest for a young woman's adulation. There are a number of others who were sent from Leadville who are still in the asylum, and who will probably end the terrible ordeal there in death.

Walsh, Patrick Routt County Sentinel 4-30-1909 – Pat Walsh Tries To Make Escape – The combined efforts of three able-bodied men were required this Saturday morning to subdue Patrick Walsh, a lunatic en route from Steamboat Springs to the insane asylum at Pueblo in charge of William Weinhausen, a guard of the asylum. Walsh made his escape from the asylum two weeks ago and returned to his ranch near Steamboat. There he was located a few days ago and Weinhausen was sent after him. Walsh proved very tractable on the way from Steamboat to Denver, but became violent as Weinhausen was walking him from the Moffat road to the Union depot. Arrived in front of the Oxford hotel Walsh turned on the guard and threatened violence. He attacked Weinhausen and probably would have made his escape had not Patrolmen McKinnan and Burghart come to his rescue. Walsh fought desperately for a few minutes, but was finally subdued and taken to the city jail. Later in the day Weinhausen continued on his way to Pueblo with him. – Denver Times.

Watrous, Fred L. Steamboat Pilot 7-7-1920 – Had Nervous Breakdown – Fred L. Watrous, prominent lawyer of Duchesne, Utah, well known in Routt county thru his long residence here, was yesterday adjudged insane in the county court by a board of medical examiners and was taken to Pueblo by Sheriff Neiman this morning for treatment. He has suffered a nervous breakdown and with rest and care should soon be restored to health. Fred Watrous has many friends in Routt county, where he came 20 years ago. He was in the newspaper business, working on the Sentinel for some time and later being manager of the Hayden Republican. He married Miss Meda Hoskinson and has two sons, 16 and 14 years old. Some eight or ten years ago he went to the Uintah valley of Utah, where he engaged in the newspaper business and then engaged in the practice of law, at which he has been very successful. He is a graduate of Leland Stanford university and was admitted to practice when he was 21 years of age. A month ago he came with his family to Routt county to visit relatives. Mrs. Watrous was taken ill and he took her to Denver where she underwent an operation for appendicitis at St. Anthony's hospital. Since he has been here Mr. Watrous has become worse, showing signs of a nervous breakdown, until his condition became such that it was found necessary to bring him before the county court. He has many friends in Routt county who hope for his speedy recovery.

Watson, Cadmus B. November 23 1895 Aspen Weekly (Aspen, Pitken Cnty) FAMILY TROUBLES SAID TO HAVE DETHRONED A GLENWOOD MAN. From Tuesday's Daily: Cadmus B. Watson was adjudged insane by a jury in the couty court yesterday afternoon and Judge Johnson made an order directing his confinement in the county jail until such time as there may be a vacant place for him in the state asylum at Pueblo. Watson came to Aspen only a short time ago from Glenwood. Before he arrived he had exhibited signs of an unbalanced mind. He was employed in a restaurant there and his acts were peculiarly eccentric. In the past he had suffered many troubles with a woman whom he married and these had played havoc with his mental and also his physical constitution. On the stand he affirmed that he had a wife and several grown children whereas his brother, who also testified, said he was never the father of any children. Before Watson's arrest on lunacy charges he met Captain Williamson one day and had no hat on his head. Captain Williamson had picked it up. “Is this your hat?” inquired the officer. Watson looked up astonished and, after finding himself bareheaded, said he guessed it was his. That was the first realization the man seemed to have that he was bareheaded in the street. The jury which tried Watson was composed of M. Marroon, John Hayden, Wilber Linderman, John Connors, P. Tracey and James W. Cleaves. Dr. Ramsey, the commissioner in lunacy, testified that under the asylum treatment, the unfortunate defendant might recover in six months. Sheriff Hayes left for the insane asylum with him last evening.

Watt, William Boulder Daily Camera 5-28-1896 – Bill Watt Dead – The Slayer of John Kearney Dies in the Insane Asylum – William Watt, slayer of John Kearney in a card game in a Lyons saloon, and sentenced by Judge Downer to ten years at Canon City, died in the insane asylum at Pueblo last night, having been taken there some weeks ago by reason of apparent insanity due to softening of the brain. Notwithstanding his conviction for so terrible a crime as murder, there are men in Colorado who will sincerely regret Watt's death. He was defended ably by Hon. Lafe Pence, given a fair trial and, probably, justly convicted. However, his crime was due to liquor and he was inoffensive and generous when at himself.
Watt, William Boulder Daily Camera 4-21-1896 – Bill Watt Wants Out – The Denver Times has the following concerning a man sent over the road from this county: “Governor McIntire this morning appointed Drs. Frank T. Little and Thos. H. Craven as a commission to examine into the mental condition of William Watt, an inmate of Canon City penitentiary, who has shown signs of insanity. Watt is serving a term for murder and his term would expire June 10, 1898.” Watt killed a man in a game of cards at Lyons. He was defended by Hon. Lafe Pence and escaped with a reasonably light dose of justice, although there were some who believed he shot in self-defense. The man he killed was a stone quarryman and members of that craft believed Watt guilty of willful murder and prosecuted the case vigorously.
Watt, William C. Boulder Daily Camera 12-22-1892 – Watt's Weapon – It Discharged Itself and Man is Shot in Consequence – W. C. Watt was brought down from Lyons yesterday on a charge sworn out by William Ryan. A quarrel led to Watt's shooting James Kearney, the ball taking effect in his groin. Watt, who is a peaceable fellow, is at the Bowen and will remain in charge of a special deputy until his trial, unless Kearney's wound should prove serious. It appears from all that can be obtained that Watt has been the victim of spite and envy and has twice been stabbed, once by Frank Wilson, a fellow who resented being asked to pay a saloon bill and who stabbed him under the rib. Another fellow cut him for sheer meanness and Watt then swore that he would not again be slaughtered if he knew himself. The man who swore out the warrant in this case, is a particular friend of Watt and it is thought that when all parties become sober and Kearney recovers, the charge will be withdrawn. The shooting occurred in Charley Bradford's saloon.
Watt, William C. Boulder Daily Camera 12-23-1892 – William Watt, who was unfortunate enough to be called on to shoot a man at Lyons, is in charge of Deputy Sheriff Hank Green and has a moderate degree of liberty. Word comes from Lyons that Kearney is improving rapidly and it is probable that there will be no prosecution.
Watt, William C. Boulder Daily Camera 12-27-1892 – Mr. Kearney is Dead – William C. Watt is Held for Killing Him – Lyons' Shooting Affray – After Several Days of Lingering, Kearney Passes Away – The Affair Grew Out of a Quarrel Over a Game of Poker – Watt Quietly Consents to be Put in Jail, After Kissing His Wife Good Bye – Kearney is Dead – Watt is Compelled to go to Jail in Consequence – Kearney is dead. The man who received the bullet of W. C. Watt is no more and Watt is in jail. The affair occurred a week ago and the shooting transpired when the men were engaged at a game of poker. It is said that the men quarreled and Kearney reached for his pocket, Watt pulled his revolver and shot. It is reported that Kearney, who was well known about Lyons, was a frail fellow, but that after being stabbed twice in former troubles, Watt was on the alert for another case of “the worst of it” and shot. Some say he shot without cause, while others defend his action. Watt took his brother, Dan, down to Mr. Gallagher's place yesterday, having been all the while in charge of Deputy Sheriff Hank Green. He returned and willingly left Joe Bailey's livery stable for the jail, where he must remain until after his preliminary examination. Deputy District Attorney Campbell and Coroner Trezise left for Lyons yesterday afternoon and a coroner's jury will convene there today. The reason why Watt was not earlier incarcerated was owing to the awkward language of the person who sent him down on a charge of “shooting and wounding one, Kearney.” The charge of murderous intent was alleged. The wife of the prisoner visited her husband in jail last evening and left him after an affectionate embrace and many adieux.
Watt, William C. Boulder Daily Camera 12-28-1892 – Murder is the Verdict – The Coroner's Jury at Lyons so Pronounces It – Watt Killed Kearney – And the Jury Says With Felonious Intent – A Synopsis of the Evidence – Killing of Kearney – The Story as Gleaned from a Coroner's Jury Evidence – Coroner Trezise and Deputy District Attorney Campbell returned from Lyons yesterday, after having impanelled a jury and received its verdict in the Watt-Kearney affair. Story of the Affair – The story of the shooting as related to the coroner's jury by witnesses who were present is in substance as follows: Last Wednesday morning about 7 o'clock there was gathered around a poker table in Bradford's saloon in Lyons Wm. Watts, John Kearney, Fred Billings, W. M. Ryan, Doc Smith and Mr. Baker. Poker was the game and all were playing and drinking more or less. A jack pot came up and was opened by Watt for $1.75. All dropped out but Kearney, who drew three cards while Watt drew one. Watt proposed that they divide the pot and Kearney agreeing, it was done. Watt throwing down two pairs, kings and fours, and Kearney laying down a pair of sevens. In about twenty minutes another jack pot came up, and this time Kearney opened it for $2, all dropping out but Watt, who drew one card and Kearney stood pat. Watt again proposed that they divide the pot. “Not this time,” said Kearney, “I haven't that kind of a hand,” and he bet $5.00. Watt passed and Kearney took in the pot. Both men were drinking heavily and Kearney's refusal to divide the pot made Watt angry and he remarked in an ugly voice: “I'll make you play poker now for every cent you've got.” Kearney reached down in his pants pocket and pulling out a little money sack, took out a roll of bills, which he placed on the table, remarking: “There it is, I'll play you poker for it.” “I'll make you play,” replied Watt. Kearney raised him slightly and started to put the money back in his pocket, when Watt jumped up, pulled a pistol from his hip pocket and pointed it toward Kearney, who raised his hand knocking the revolver aside just as it went off. Ryan's testimony was that he shouted” “For God's sake, Bill, don't kill the man.” “I will, I will,” replied Watt, springing upon Kearney, forcing him backward and at the same time firing again, and this time Kearney dropped on the floor. The bar tender, Elias Johns, rushed forward after the first shot and grabbed the pistol just as Watt was about to fire again. Watt had the gun, a 38 calibre Smith & Wesson, pointed at Kearney lying on the floor, who begged: “For God's sake, Bill, don't kill me,” and Watt gave up his gun to Johns without further objection. Kearney was carried into Dr. Gammon's office and the bullet probed for. The wound was not at first thought serious, but peritonitis set in and Kearney died Monday morning at 10:30. There was very little if any conflicting testimony, and there can be no doubt but that both men were drunk, Mr. Billings testifying that they drank seven hot whiskies in less than 20 minutes, and the bar tender corroborates this statement. Billings testified that both men were “paralyzed drunk.” Drs. Gammon and Burhans held an autopsy and found that Kearney's death was the result of the bullet he received. The jury then rendered the following verdict: The Jury's Verdict – An inquest was holden at Lyons, in Boulder county, State of Colorado, on the 26th and 27th day of Dec. A. D. 1892, before J. G. Trezise, coroner of said county, upon the body of John Kearney, lying dead, by the jurors whose names are hereto subscribed; said jurors upon their oaths do say that the said John Kearney came to his death at 10:40 o'clock a.m., on the 26th day of Dec. A. D. 1892, as the result of a gun shot wound, the said gun being a revolver loaded with powder and ball and fired by William Watt on the 21st day of Dec. 1892, in Charles Bradford's saloon at said Lyons, in Boulder county, Colo., at about 8:30 o'clock a.m. We further find that the shooting of said John Kearney by Wm. Watt was felonious. In testimony whereof the said jurors have hereunto set their hands the day and year aforesaid: L. H. Dietrich, Thos. A. Hearn, Nicholas Frank, Wm. Sites, E. R. Meeker, W. C. Dyer, Jurors. Attest: - J. G. Trezise, Coroner of Boulder County.
Watt, William C. Boulder Daily Camera 1-6-1893 – Charged With Murder – The Preliminary Examination of Wm. C. Watt is in Progress – The preliminary examination of Wm. C. Watt, charged with the murder of James Kearney of Lyons was commenced before Judge Adams yesterday afternoon in the district court room. Three witnesses, Wm. Ryan, Dr. Gammon and Ferdinand Billings were examined and the hearing will continue today. Thirteen witnesses have been subpoenaed and the case will probably occupy all the day. From the testimony presented yesterday it appears that the participants of the fatal poker game were all pretty much under the influence of liquor. The game had been in progress all night, Watt entering at 4 o'clock in the morning. Watt commenced by ordering drinks for the crowd and the testimony of one witness was to the effect that the drinks came so thick and fast at one time, that it interfered with the game. He testified that Kearney had seven hot whiskies in less than 20 minutes. Both men were crazed with drink and had to get a man to deal the cards for them as they were unable. The testimony as to the shooting was the same as that brought out at the coroners inquest.
Watt, William C. Boulder Daily Camera 1-7-1893 – The Watt Case – The Preliminary Hearing Adjourned Until Wednesday – The preliminary hearing in the Kearney murder case was continued yesterday and occupied the whole day. The testimony brought out no new points in the case. The testimony was chiefly interesting from the view it gave of life in a Lyons saloon. Many of the witnesses, to judge from their stories, spend about all of their time there, day and night. When they become tired and weary by reason of carrying a large load of liquor, they are given free use of the floor as a bed and sleep it off. Some of the witnesses in the case were so resting and heard nothing of the pistol shots or the fracas, though it attracted the attention of half the town. While these witnesses admitted having been drinking, yet they claimed they were not drunk. Several attempts were made by the attorneys to learn what constituted a Lyons drunk, but without very marked success. According to one witness, seven hot whiskies, taken in rapid succession on top of divers and sundry beers administered every few minutes during the night, will make a man “tolerably drunk,” even in Lyons. The state rested last evening and the defense offered no testimony in rebuttal. The hearing was continued until next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, when arguments will be made by the attorneys regarding the question of admitting Mr. Watt to bail. It has been proved by the state that Kearney was shot by Watts and that he died from the effects of the bullet. It has been shown that both men were intoxicated and that they had always been friends up to the time of the shooting. The cause of the quarrel was a trifling affair and but for the fact that the men were drunk, the shooting would not have occurred. The attorneys for the prisoner, Watts, will make an attempt to procure bail for him. One of the remarkable points in the trial yesterday was the fact that almost without exception, each witness testified that all in the saloon with the exception of Bartender Johns, Ferd Billings and whichever witness that happened to be on the stand, were drunk, in fact the controlling spirit of the whole affair seems to have been fermented extract of rye and a decoction of malt and barley.
Watt, William C. Boulder Daily Camera 2-1-1893 – Watt's Release – If He Secures Bondsmen, He Will Be Given His Liberty – The case of William C. Watt, on his application for bail, on appeal from Justice Adams, was heard by Judge Downer of the district court yesterday. Watt has been examined and bound over for the murder of a man named Kearney at Lyons. He was represented by his attorneys, Hon. Junius Berkley and ex-Judge George Rogers, who secured an order admitting Watt to bail in the sum of ten thousand dollars. It is not thought he will experience much difficulty in securing the requisite amount of bail.
Watt, William C. Boulder Daily Camera 5-2-1893 – On Trial For His Life – William C. Watt's Case in the District Court Yesterday – No Jury Selected Yet – Watt Murder Case – It Was Called Yesterday and a Jury Not Yet Obtained – There was a large attendance at the district court room yesterday morning, when Judge Downer ordered counsel to proceed in the case against William C. Watt for the murder of John Kearney at Lyons. From the big stone camps there were dozens of citizens, some of them witnesses on both sides and others, either friends of the prisoner or the deceased Kearney. District Attorney Garrigues was assisted in examining jurors by Assistant District Attorney Chas. M. Campbell. Hon. Lafe Pence, H. M. Minor, of Longmont and Thomas E. Davidson, of Denver, occupied the seats reserved for counsel for the defense. The prisoner's face and form are familiar to the citizens of Boulder, rendered so by his preliminary examination here and long period of confinement in the county jail. He was cool, serious, earnest and watched every movement of his counsel and scrutinized closely the face of every juryman called into the box. Before noon his wife arrived in the court room, an intelligent looking, self-possessed lady, who sat beside the prisoner all the remaining hours of the day. About 4 p.m., the panel of 24 having been exhausted by peremptory challenges for cause, excuses for illness, etc., the court announced that it would require until tomorrow morning for the new venire to be subpoenaed from the body of the county and as counsel for the defense would, probably, desire to inform themselves with reference to the personnel of the new venire, he would adjourn court until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Mr. Pence thanked the court for his consideration and the recess was taken. The twelve men in the box at the time of adjournment, though they may not be accepted as jurymen to try the issues involved between the people of the state of Colorado and William C. Watt, were placed in the custody of the sheriff and will be kept in a body by him until the incoming of court this morning and until individually they may be excused from service as jurors in this case. There is every promise that this case will be closely contested as the friends of the dead Kearney are exceedingly bitter towards the defendant, while the latter has many friends who are equally resolved that he shall not be convicted unless the evidence is overwhelming. Neither the people's attorneys nor the able counsel for the defense will be found napping until the fate of William C. Watt shall have been determined. One of the questions propounded by Mr. Pence to all jurymen yesterday was as to whether the fact that Kearney was killed as a result of a quarrel arising over a game of poker and that the defendant was a drinking man and was drunk at the time of the shooting, would constitute any prejudice against him. The answers were universally in the negative. Frequently it is said, men are so bitter in their hostility towards saloons and drinking and games of chance that they permit these prejudices to overcome the evidence.
Watt, William C. Boulder Daily Camera 5-3-1893 – People's Witnesses – A Jury in the Watt Murder Case Secured Yesterday – The Witnesses Testify – Only Three Out of 24 Have Thus far Been Called to the Stand – Mr. Campbell Explains to the Jury in a Very Lucid Way What Constitutes a Jack Pot – The Witnesses Called (To) Testify That All Hands Had Been Drinking Beer and Hot Whisky – The Trial Begun – A Jury Obtained in the Watt Case and Testimony is Begun – After exhausting forty odd challenges the attorneys in the Watt murder case agreed that they were satisfied with the jury a little after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and the following good men and true were sworn by Clerk Wilder: Edward Berryman, Elias Eby, G. W. Blaine, Henry Meyring, Z. Bradfield, C. L. Wood, W. M. Findlay, W. H. Barber, R. A. Duncan, J. F. Hedman, W. B. Rea and Timothy O'Connor. Mr. O'Connor sent word to the painters who are decorating his house to go and paint the affair in accordance with instructions. Bob Duncan talked a moment with his lawyer brother, Guy, and the twelve men reached for their hip pockets, each put a chew of tobacco in the right place and they settled down for the business that bids fair to involve several days' time. Assistant District Attorney Charles M. Campbell arose and made the opening statement for the People. He proposed to prove that during the month of December last, there was a game of poker at Lyons and among the players at that game were W. C. Watt and John Kearney. Everything proceeded harmoniously until a jack pot came up and then the difficulty began. The attorney didn't know what a jack pot was, but proceeded to explain it to the jury so lucidly that the twelve men saw the large ears on the jack, as they went waving to and fro, and would have heard its bray were it not for the simmering of the big black pot that Charley described to them. However, there was a jack pot and after all had contributed, it was opened by either Watt or Kearney, when one of them proposed to divide it, which was agreed to and done. Another jack pot arose in the course of the playing, and Kearney reached into his pocket and fished out $5, which he threw upon the table. Then there were some words, when Watt rose, stepped back a little, there was a shot and Kearney fell to the floor after a second shot had struck him from the same pistol, which was in the hand of Wm. C. Watt. Mr. Garrigues called Dr. G. W. Gammon, who testified that he was a practicing physician at Lyons and that about 8 o'clock the morning of December 21, he heard two shots, about 4 or five seconds apart, and saw John Kearney in the saloon, after he had been conducted to a chair. Kearney complained of severe pains in his leg. He was taken to the office of (the) witness, who ascertained that he had been shot in the left groin. The witness explained to the jury, by using his own person as illustration, just how the man was hit. Kearney died December 28, peritonitis having set in. Some questions as to the peritoneum and pelvic cavity were asked, the counsel proving by this witness that the wound was one liable to be fatal in most cases. Thomas Whalen, a stone mason, was next called. Had been an intimate friend of Kearney for 10 years. He weighed about 135 pounds and was two-thirds the size of Watt. His nickname was “Spider.” Why so called witness could not say. It was pay day the day before the shooting and witness went to Lyons from Murphy's camp and started to go home late at night. Kearney was with him and they had been drinking beer at Bucherdee's place. They stopped at Charley Bradford's saloon to find William Baxter, John Kearney's partner. He was in a game of poker. Finally Kearney took a hand and after a couple of hours witness went to sleep in a chair behind the stove. Once he became awake and was treated by someone, taking a hot whiskey. He dozed off again and when he awoke the next time, he saw Kearney lying against a chair and Watt and Johns, the bar keeper, scuffling. Watt had a pistol in his hand and Johns took it from him. Witness asked Kearney if he was hurt and he said: “Yes, Tom, he got me once.” Witness identified Kearney's shirt, pants and other wearing apparel, which will be utilized by the state's attorneys, in their argument when the Marc Antony act, with “Here the cruel Brutus stabbed,” will be in order. William Baxter testified that he was Kearney's partner at the quarries and stated substantially what was testified to by Whalen.
Watt, William C. Boulder Daily Camera 5-5-1893 – Was W. C. Watt Insane – Dr. Stradley and Dr. Allen Believe That He Was – The Arguments Begun – Hon. Charles M. Campbell and H. M. Minor Hold Forth Yesterday Afternoon and Hon. Lafe Pence and Mr. Garrigues Will Close the Case This Morning – No Effort Made to Establish Any Other Theory of the Crime Than That Watt, Crazed by Liquor and Previous Illness, Was Unconscious of What He Was Doing – The Arguments Begun – Mr. Pence and the District Attorney Will Close This Morning – The fate of William C. Watt will not much longer hang in the balance. The beginning of the end came when Hon. Chas. M. Campbell rose yesterday afternoon to make his argument for the people. Judge Downer had instructed the jury, the evidence was all in. No more could be introduced and no other word could be uttered in favor of the slayer of John Kearney, save by the attorneys whom his friends had secured to speak for him. The killing had been admitted, no justification had been set up; no evidence attempting to contribute to the theory of self defense had been advanced, and yet the counsel for the prisoner had closed their case. It was not difficult to perceive upon what theory the defense relies for the acquittal or amelioration of the penalty which Watt's hasty and insane act invites. As outlined by Mr. Pence in his opening statement, sole reliance would be placed upon the previous good character of the accused for peace and quiet and the fact that at the time of committing the terrible act, he was crazed by liquor, terrorized by reason of former punishment and in a state bordering on delirium tremens, if not total insanity. To the best of his ability Mr. Pence made good his promise to the jury. Dr. D. N. Stradley, and Dr. H. W. Allen, both reputable and experienced physicians, told the jury under oath, that at the time Bill Watt fired the fatal shot, his mind had been dethroned of its reason and, therefore, he was not a responsible, free agent. Watt was, himself, put upon the stand and swore that he knew nothing of the shooting until when awakened by Bill Thorne long after, he was apprised of what he had done. The defendant was no exception to the rule. He made a poor witness for his own side of the case. He admitted that he was sane all along and up to a short time before the shooting and all too particularly detailed the minutia of some business affairs, when District Attorney Garrigues undertook to refresh his memory. The defendant swore that he never carried a revolver until a few days before the shooting, when he had gone into the gambling business at Lafayette and bought a revolver to protect his money. The shooting was all like a dream to him when Thorne came to his house and, after waking, told him about it. He had often been so drunk that he had no recollection of what he had done during the spree, when later apprised of his transactions. He admitted to the district attorney, however, that, drunk or sober, his recollections of business matters was good. Dr. Stradley swore that he had told Watt that he must stop drinking or he would have delirium tremens. To Mr. Pence's hypothetical question, reciting the details of the heavy spree on the night of December 20 and the morning of December 21st, the long continued and heavy libations, the long sitting at the poker table and the former illness, Dr. Stradley answered that the defendant was not responsible for his acts. Dr. Allen went farther and gave it as his belief that no drunken man is responsible. Dr. Stradley told of a conversation he had with Watt in which he told him that unless he quit drinking, he would commit suicide, kill his wife or a friend or do some desperate act. This was stricken out, but got before the jury and in his argument, Mr. Campbell, forgetting that it had been stricken, used it and now Mr. Pence can, also, refer to it. The people have reopened the matter. An indictment against Watt for malicious mischief in breaking out May's windows at Lyons, and a fine of $25 was introduced by the People to rebut the testimony as to the good reputation of the prisoner by Major Small, E. E. Norton, C. F. Miller of Longmont, W. A. Welch, John R. Durbin of Lafayette and the others who testified both Wednesday evening and yesterday morning. The arguments by Messrs. Campbell for the People and H. M. Minor for the defense, were logical, well put and thorough going statements of the testimony as viewed by the respective counsel. Probably Mr. Campbell never appeared to be better advantage than when presenting his side of the case. His argument was well put together, consecutive, cohesive and exceedingly fair to the defendant. Mr. Minor has never been heard in Boulder in a similar case, but what is true of Mr. Campbell's effort may be applied to Mr. Minor's hurried running over of the evidence and appeal for Christian charity for the defendant. Mr. Campbell held up the “eye for an eye” doctrine of the scriptures, while Mr. Minor came back with the more Christ-like doctrine that all are subject to err and not one but needs the mantle of charity to hide his sins at some stage of his career. Great interest centered in the trial all day yesterday and, after the seats had been filled, the court ordered that all others be kept out. There will be a large attendance this morning, when Mr. Pence begins for the defense, to be followed by Mr. Garrigues, who will close the case for all sides. Mr. Pence has announced that he will not speak long, but, probably, no limit will be put upon the time and the arguments will not be ended until afternoon. The reputation of Congressman Pence as an orator before the bar will be maintained on this occasion, for, doubtless, he feels the full solemnity of the occasion and the keen, naked fact that a human life and the life of a client at that, depends upon the impression he shall be able to make upon this jury this morning. Hurriedly called into the case, and with a line of defense to be agreed upon only after coming to Boulder, it must be conceded that with the exceedingly slight material at hand, the defense has made a showing that is highly creditable to the counsel. The case throughout has been characterized by the best good temper and largest courtesy on the part of both the People's attorneys and the counsel for the defense.

Webber, Martin Fort Collins Weekly Courier 6-19-1912 – Believes He Is To Be Robbed – Aged sheep herder, picked up by the Sheriff, frightens folks by his peculiar actions is insane. (From Wednesday's Daily.) The original carrier of junk was arrested Tuesday by Sheriff Carlton and Deputy Halligan in the person of Martin Webber. In addition to the collection of junk which Martin carries with him he also has a collection of ideas which make him a fit subject for a lunacy inquest. Webber is an old sheep herder, having seen much service in Wyoming. He is close to 75 years old. How long he has been on the road on his way here is not known, but he has been spending much of his time on the ranches northwest of the city. Complaint was made that he was acting queerly and was frightening women and children. He would stop at a ranch and ask for a place to stay and frequently remained without consent or invitation. He made his bed in barns and cellars and during the night would prowl about the buildings. One of his peculiar acts was that of attempting to keep out of sight. When he observed anyone coming he would circle around a tree or bush and try to avoid being seen. When he tried this on the sheriff he failed to take the deputy sheriff into consideration. Webber had walked into Fort Collins to get some bread and rolls and was on his way back. He was taken into custody and placed in jail. Webber claims that there are robbers in the county jail and that one of them has the ability to walk through the iron doors. He says this man has a dirty heart and would shoot or cut his throat to the bone. He says someone put a piece of chloroform in his bed during the last __ nights and tried to overcome him, rob him. He has other hallucinations which lead to the belief that he is unsound mind.

Weeks, Harry Greeley Tribune 5-30-1895 - Harry Weeks, a stranger, went to the Oasis Friday night and commenced to act in an irrational manner.  Night Clerk Robe is of that hostelry thinking the man was under the influence of liquor and not wishing to be bothered with him notified Nightwatchman Randolph who took charge of Weeks but in conversation with him thought that he was not under the influence of liquor.  Weeks said he wished a place to sleep and had money to pay his bill and Mr. Randolph took him to the Exchange where he was given a bed.  About an hour after this, J. E. Graham, proprietor of the Exchange, hunted up Randolph telling him his guest was creating such a disturbance in the hotel that he wished him taken away and the nightwatch took Weeks to the city lockup where he was confined for the night.  The next morning Deputy Marshal Camp waited on Weeks and seeing from his condition that he was demented handed him over to the care of the sheriff.  Sheriff Clark then communicated with parties at Wallace, and Lincoln, Neb., Weeks saying he had been living there and received answer that Weeks was known there; also that he had been an occupant of the state asylum at Lincoln, Neb., and was discharged from there last November.  A brother of Weeks residing at North Danville, Vt., was communicated with and he wired back asking that Weeks be sent to him. Weeks was given a trial Tuesday morning in County court on the question of his sanity, Frank H. Green acting as guardian ad litem.  After a careful examination the poor man was declared insane by the jury and he will be sent to Pueblo.  In his examination he declared most emphatically that he did not wish to be sent to Vermont; and he told Dave Camp that he preferred going to the asylum at Pueblo, to returning to Holyoke in the eastern part of Colorado, where he said he had stopped over a few days on his way west.  These objections seemed to convince some of the jury that he was not as insane as he might be.

Wenyon, W.N. Leadville Daily and Evening Chronicle 3-31-1886 – Insane Escape Recaptured. W. N. Wenyon, the man who escaped from the Pueblo insane asylum some days since, was arrested here this afternoon and taken to the hospital. He had been out on the prairie during the recent storm. His feet were badly frozen, and it will perhaps be necessary to amputate them. He imagined he had been elected president of the United States, and was armed with a commission to fill the executive chair of the nation. He intended to inaugurate numerous reforms, one of which was to abolish the use of gold in any form throughout the government and substitute silver in its stead.

His wife lives in Washington state. As she was not able to come to Colorado at this time she wired her brother, Vint (?) Booco, who left this morning for Pueblo to superintend the burial. Mr. Wertheimer was a prospector and created considerable excitement here at one time by finding ore on the range east of town which ran into fabulous figures. He never was able to return to the place, although he and others searched for it diligently for months.

Wheatly, Terence 30 October 1897 Aspen Weekly Times (Aspen, Pitken County) COUNTY COURT The lunacy case against Terence Wheatley came up for trial before Judge Rogers yesterday forenoon. The patient was very violent and his case is a particularly sad one, as he is considered incurable. He has been weak minded since an attack of scarlet fever in childhood although he has always been a hard worker and has always been able to support himself, until this attack. He was adjudged insane and committed to the county jail to await instructions from the asylum authorities at Pueblo. Some arrangements will have to be made with a private asylum for the incarceration as the state institution is overcrowded. In the meantime he will be kept in jail here.

Wheeler, Mrs. New Castle Nonpareil 11-9-1899 – Mrs. Wheeler of Cardiff was this week declared insane.  Her husband was mixed up in a recent scandal at Glenwood Springs, and this unfortunate brooded over her wrongs until she lost her reason.
Wheeler, Mrs. L.B. November 11 1899 Glenwood Post (Glenwood Springs, Garfield County) ADJUDGE INSANE In the county court inst Thursday Mrs. L.B. Wheeler of Cardiff was adjudged insane and the court ordered the unfortunate woman conveyed to the asylum at Pueblo. This is indeed a sad case and one that appeals strongly to human sympathy. Mrs Wheeler was deserted by her husband who last summer was convicted of adultery with a Mrs. Lipson, for which offense he served a term in the county jail. Mrs Wheeler and her four little children have had to depend largely upon the charity of kind neighbors for the necessities of life, “the lady brooding over her trouble until her mind gave way entirely.” The children will probably be sent to their grandparents in Pennsylvania, who have agreed to provide for them.

White, Robert Carbonate Chronicle 1-6-1919 – Lunacy Commission Examines Two – Guadalupe Montoya, 36, the Mexican who slashed Sheriff Schraeder several times on the face December 28 when the sheriff accosted him in Finntown to take him to a hospital, was declared to be insane yesterday by the county lunacy commission, Drs. A. J. McDonald and M. A. Jeannotte sitting, and was ordered by County Judge O'Mahoney to be taken to the state hospital at Pueblo. Montoya, who is also called Jose Montoya, has been employed on the Rio Grande railroad section. On November 19, he caused trouble at the City emergency hospital when he was taken there by Undersheriff Murray and Deputy Sheriff Frank Simmons, who believed he was sick with influenza when they found him in Stringtown. At that time he went on a rampage and terrorized the patients. He had to be removed to the county jail, where it was later found that he was not suffering from influenza. On December 28 he terrorized inhabitants of Finntown, to which he had wandered, with the result that Sheriff Schraeder was called to take him in charge. He was taken in custody only after he had fought wildly with a knife and his hands. County Attorney H. R. Pendery appeared at the examination for the county and Attorney Frank E. Purpie as guardian ad litem for Montoya. Robert White, 22, son of Kirk White, a well known mining man, who suffered an injury on his head years ago, was found by the commission to be mentally unbalanced yesterday morning. It was recommended that he be cared for at an institution suitable for the purpose, and order was given to take him to a sanitorium at Pueblo. The examination of the young man was begun Friday evening and completed yesterday morning.

White, William Colorado Transcript 11-5-1879 – Deputy U. S. Marshal Hoyt has returned from his trip to Pueblo, where he went last week in charge of four insane persons destined for the state asylum at that point.  He speaks in the highest terms of the appearance of affairs that important institution, from which we gather that the unfortunate inmates are in good hands.  Those transferred by Marshall Hoyt from this county, by order of the board of county commissioners, were William White, Edward Lundberg, William H. Brown and Charles Moon.
White, William Colorado Transcript 2-18-1880 – Mr. William White, of this city, who has been inmate of the state insane asylum at Pueblo, has received his discharge from that institution and has returned to his family, apparently fully recovered from his malady.  He speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of the institution, and particularly of Dr. Thoms, the superintendent, whom Mr. White regards as the very best man that could be selected to take charge of the patients.  We are very glad to see our friend return to his home in so encouraging his condition.

Whitehead, Harry Summit County Journal 4-28-1917 – Taken To Asylum.  Harry Whitehead, a pioneer resident of Breckenridge, was adjudged insane Thursday by a jury in the county court and in the custody of Sheriff Detiler and Ben James, left Thursday afternoon for the asylum at Pueblo, but all were compelled to return in the evening when the train encountered a snowslide near Wheeler.  The journey was resumed Friday morning, however.  Whitehead's unbalanced mental condition is due probably to a blood clot on the brain.  Tuesday morning he suffered a stroke of paralysis, the second within the past few months, the first occurring during his absence in Routt county.  He was taken to the hospital and soon afterward, symptoms of insanity were manifested.  His condition grew worse rapidly, and the jury trial Thursday was the result.  Whitehead came to Breckenridge nearly forty years ago.  He engaged in carpenter work and built some of the first houses erected here.  He also gave considerable attention to mining, and leases in Gold Run gulch in the early days and on Gibson hill.  He was alone at the time of his stroke Tuesday, his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Reynolds being in Denver, where both are under the care of physicians.
