The cause of death of John Adams was reported in the Ashland (Ky.)

Judge McCall committed them, and the third one of the party accused, Richard Vance, is in charge of the U.S. authorities. After going back to the mountains a man made an affidavit that [John B.] Adams, who was found dead on our courthouse steps, supposed to have fallen from the second story window, was thrown out by Hall and Sizemore, fellow witnesses in a moonshine case, a few weeks since. Sizemore then fled the country, and Hall was killed by the friends of Adams."
