         <p> Lincoln writes to Joshua F. Speed, of Louisville, Kentucky, about a
  Sangamon County Justice of the Peace case. Lincoln represents brothers
  Archibald and William Trailor, who stand accused of Archibald Fisher's murder.
  Dr. Gilmore claimed that Fisher was still alive, and the court released the
  Trailors. Lincoln writes, "Thus stands this curious affair now. When the
  doctor's story was first made public, it was amusing to scan and contemplate
  the countenances, and hear the remarks of those who had been actively engaged
  in the search for the dead body. Some looked quizical, some melancholly, and
  some furiously angry." Lincoln adds that one observer "said it was too
  <uLine>damned</uLine> bad, to have so much trouble, and no hanging after all."
