In the final episode Lindsay and John show the evolution of the Utah criminal justice system through a prison escape. Murderer Nick Haworth escaped from the Utah penitentiary after Joseph Smith’s spiritual son and prison guard, Zebulon Jacobs, was overpowered and severely beaten. Haworth was eventually found and returned to prison. What did the law do with those who escaped from prison? Was the legal system in line with the rest of the country, or did Haworth find he was subjected to mountain law? Listen to this episode here.

Lindsay and John head north to southeastern Idaho to discuss the murder of Gobo Fango. Fango was a freed African, probably Latter-day Saint, and sheep herder who got caught up in the range wars of the 1880s. They are joined by Amanda Hendrix-Komoto and Mica McGriggs who both discuss the violence and the treatment of disadvantaged groups in this time period. Was Fango murdered or trespassing on a cattleman’s land? Did his being Mormon help or hurt his case? Listen to this episode here.

The legal system in frontier Utah was as wild as the wild wild west. Lindsay and John discuss the decades long battle between the federal and local court system, and the fall out it caused. Claims of abuse, corruption, and a murder ordered by Brigham Young are discussed. Who was right and who was wrong when the feds go up against the Mormons? Listen to this episode here.

Lindsay and John continue their discussion of the murder of Dr. Robinson and the lynching of Thomas Coleman. They are joined by Mica McGriggs who helps discuss lynching and racism present in the West, and Michael McClane who describes the murder and old time Salt Lake City. Was Coleman’s murder part of a cover up, or just old fashioned extralegal justice and racism? Listen to this episode here.
