Abstract: In 1859, John Sweeney was killed at a corral in the Montezuma Township. Philander Arnold pled self-defense to the deed, but when it was pointed out Philander's son had provided his father with the double-barreled shotgun, the case went against him, and Philander was found guilty of manslaughter.
