Viewing John W. Murdoch: "The Wabasha Doctors's Murder Case." (1954).John W. Murdoch: "The Wabasha Doctors's Murder Case." (1954).In the early 1950s, a decade into retirement, John Murdoch looked back on his long career at the bar--49 years--and decided to write his recollections of several cases that had historical importance or interest. One was a trial of two Wabasha doctors for attempted murder. It was the culmination of a bitter rivalry between Doctors William F. Milligan and William H. Lincoln that was a continuation of one between their fathers, early physicians in Wabasha County. Murdoch's case-memoir was published in The Wabasha County Herald on February 17, 1954. It is posted here. |
