Interesting Sign, Nevada City, MT -- Hey, I'm not saying it was or wasn't ... but MOST extraordinary in HISTORY??? Just looking at the last 100 years ... Over Scopes? Nuremberg? The Lindbergh Kidnapping? Leopold & Loeb? Freakin' OJ? Momma Mia this must have been one doozie of a trial here ... lol Okay, saved you having to googe it and learned "Ives was tried and convicted of robbing and killing the popular young 'Dutchman' Nicholas Tibalt. The trial took place outdoors on the frosty 21st day of December in 1863. The trial, conducted by prosecutor Wilbur Fisk Sanders, lasted three days. Ives was hanged from the rafter of an unfinished building after the jury deliberated less than an hour." wow ... extraordinary, huh?
