Nuttal & Mann's - Aftermath

Aftermath

Jack McCall was apprehended as he attempted to flee town; and the next day was given an impromptu trial in which he was acquitted of the murder–having claimed he was avenging his brother's death. However, less than a month later, McCall was re-charged with the murder after bragging about what he had done while in the Wyoming Territory. He was brought back to the capital of the territory, Yankton, for arraignment. At his re-trial, McCall was found guilty of the murder of Hickok. McCall was executed by hanging on March 1, 1877. He was buried with the noose still around his neck.
