Historic Washington Presents 1840’s “Trial By Jury”

Photo by Paul Oller

Historic Washington State Park recently presented the 1840’s version of “Trial By Jury”.  The locally-written play is based upon a real murder from the 1840’s and is presented in the very courtroom in which the original trial was staged in the 1836 Courthouse.   Mr. Paul Oller offered this great photo of Ernie Cox (who played Sheriff Arnett) and Dan Ford (who played the Judge).
