The examination was in the county court and the judge fixed bail at $1,000. Knight could not furnish the bail and went to jail."

"Given One Day In Jail TECUMSEH, Neb, Dec 1 --(Special)--In the district court here today before Judge Letton, William Knight was sentenced to one day in jail on the charge of shooting with intent to do great bodily harm on the person of Wesley Worthen. Knight filled Worthen's anatomy with buckshot last spring, as he charges Worthen was trifling with his wife's affections. In pronouncing sentence the court took into consideration the fact that Knight has been in jail all summer."

"William Knight was sentenced to one day in jail in the district court at Tecumseh. Knight was tried on the charge of shooting with intent to do great bodily harm to Wesley Worthen. Worthen was shot with a shotgun last spring when caught in the company of Knight's wife. As Knight had been in jail all summer, and Worthen entirely recovered from his wound, the court was lenient."
