I am Looking for information on a James GIBBS who was convicted of murder. He
was released to his sister Anna GIBBS who married Peter LANE. They also had a
brother Charles Lorenzo GIBBS. Any information on this family would greatly
be appreciated. From :The Independent" 23 Dec 1909
Under column "Items From Anywhere" by John Allen Oxford-pen name "Roxie"
James Gibbs, who was released from the Chester Penitentiary last week, was
convicted of murder in the first degree, for the killing of Anderson Hyman, at
the fall term of court in 1898, and sentenced to the penitentiary for a term
of 50 years. Through the persistent efforts of his sister, Mrs. Pete Lane,
and a few others, his sentence was commuted by Governor Deneen from 50 years
to a little more than 11 years
