Fascinating history. Being from Baltimore, I’ve only seen these records available via microfilm at our main Pratt Library location. You managed to get actual newspapers.
I am in the exact same situation… I recently found out that my great-grandfather murdered his brother and died in prison.. I lived my entire life hearing "vague" family stories as to his life, and now I know the truth ( Not exact details, I do know he died in 1929 )… How much more do I want to know ??? All this takes time and money.
Correction: Jesse Uppercue was not found innocent. He was found no guilty, which means the prosecution did not prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. That does not mean innocent - two totally different concepts. There is no jury verdict of innocent in the United States. Also, rather sad to read the numerous posts by people declaring Jesse Uppercue guilty based solely on a newspaper story. I hope those people have not served on a jury.
I, personally think I wouldn't be liking the guy very much by now. What I find fascinating is the documentations that are available for genealogy searches. I am watching these to try and understand how I might be able to uncover the secrets of my great grandparents.
This is why people are not tried in the court of public opinion. You have a portion of all the evidence yet you have him as guilty. We don't know all the testimony nor all the evidence.
I worked in a newspaper office and there were copies in books going back as long as this. You don’t need gloves at that age. The paper is still quite strong. They’re not kept in special air tight rooms and soon, just a fairly normal library type one. It’s the old parchments and so on that break down.

I am from Albuquerque and I see it in him Thank you and much love from a fellow burqueno
The young lawyer did it! Why would the intruder kill a helpless old women, and not a young strapping man, who could do more damage to the intruder.
Cuz iT was her house nd she had the money.
Mm to make the nephew guilty and take all the money
It was dark?
For money

He's definitely the murderer
100%

SO INTERESTING
Love JTF!
Mitch...can u reopen this case ?
There’s literally no point
Jesse’s great-grandfather was shady!!!😵💫😬
I feel bad for him. Imagine looking up your ancestry hopeful you'll find a Jon Snow but discovering you're actually related to Little Finger. 🥴
🤣
I don't. I would think this is very exciting to find such scandal
❤️ Thank You ❤️
I cannot believe that they are allowed to handle historical documents without gloves!!!
Me, too. Some of those pages look very frail.
There’s been a shift in how old documents are handled. Most document historians don’t use gloves now because of chemicals transferred to the paper.
Shouldn't he have been wearing gloves handling those old papers?
Depends on the paper. Sometimes gloves do more damage. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you have gloves or clean hands. There are lots of variables.

@@jackiec6636 thanks for the info. Have a great day
Wow, sounds like great grandfather was grimy...
Ben Mendelsohn is a Librarian?
It’s a strange story, but given law now in the US I’m not going to assume he did it! Pretty tough info
If not he may want to check out John mack Ferguson
He certainly seems like a dodgy man if it was on trail today I think he would be found guilty
eh this is the era of the town hanging you if THEY think you're guilty so I dunno
The great grandfather has narc eyes..
It wasn't the Ferguson that left his kids in Kentucky and went to Texas and had a whole 2ns family was it

Oh he totally did it
I'm curious why he didn't look up to see the marriage records for this first spouse.
WTH is Jesse Tyler? And....the close captioner totally SUCKS.
WTH does your question even mean?
The historian is very abrupt
Generational wealth lol
Jesse who?
Uppercu.
Um...when you are watching the video and at 4:49 - you see your last name and you live in Maryland?!!?!?! um...I need answers @whodoyouthinkyouare
