Three partly-printed Navarro County Warrants: DS, one page, 8.25 x 7.25, Dated February 6, 1891. In part; “I, Seth Manning, do solemnly swear that Sam Golden…in the County of Navarro…did then and there unlawfully play at a game with cards in a public place—to wit, in a room, over Barry Vicons Saloon commonly referred to as a place for gaming,” signed at the conclusion by Manning and county attorney G. W. Hardy, and signed on the reverse by 11 witnesses; DS, one page, 8.5 x 7, dated September 30, 1886. In part: “Henry Nolan who, after being by me duly sworn, deposes and says that George Voss and Rose Peebles…on or about the 1st day of September…and for two years prior thereto did unlawfully live together having carnal intercourse with each other, and did then and there have habitual intercourse with each other, he the said George Voss being a man and she the said Rose Peebles being a woman and having a lawful living husband other than the said George Voss,” signed at the conclusion by county attorney John McClellan. Reverse is signed by five witnesses and bears an endorsement by a jury foreman, in pencil, which reads, in part: “find the defendant George Voss—guilty & assess his fine/punishment at one hundred dollars”; and a DS, one page, 8.5 x 6.5, dated September 30, 1886, and reads, in part: “You are hereby commanded that you take the body of Rose Peebles and…safely keep…to answer the State of Texas upon a charge of Adultery.” Reverse bears an endorsement by the sheriff, J. L. Walton, stating that Peebles has been placed in the Navarro County Jail. In very good to fine overall condition. A well-preserved and eye-opening look at the state’s legal system. The Robert Davis Collection.
