The desperate need for a new Mohave County Jail was not the only crime related news that put the media spotlight on Kingman, Arizona in the first decade of the new century. At 2:00 in the afternoon of January 19, 1907, C.C. Leigh was hung in the yard of the Mohave County Jail. This was the culmination of a two-year legal battle that had often been the subject of national headlines.
On September 8, 1905, Leigh had murdered Jennie Bauters, his mistress, in Goldroad. When appeals had been exhausted and the date of execution was set, his mother sent a wire to President Theodore Roosevelt and Territorial Governor Kibbey seeking clemency or a stay of execution. Neither one responded.
Today's program is sponsored in part by Uranus Fudge Company & General Store along Route 66 east to St. Robert, Missouri. This is a destination. This is an experience. This is where memories are made. This is where fun reigns supreme. This is home to some of the best fudge on earth. And soon, you can experience all the fun of Uranus in Anderson, Indiana at their new location. Can you imagine a road with a stop at not one but at two Uranus Fudge Company & General Store locations?
