Killing of Henry Gamble

September 10, 1876, John A. Wingo shot and killed Henry Gamble, at Mr. Caldwell's house, near Spring Hill. Both men were drunk at the time. That day they were hunting together and were friendly, and there had been no previous quarrel between them. Returning from the hunt in a drunken condition they repaired to Caldwell's house. Wingo went in the house and lay down on a lounge. Gamble and Caldwell were outside, both seated, and began talking together about Wingo, in a maudlin way. Wingo overheard the conversation and started up, swearing that nobody should talk about him in that way. Going out of doors he accosted Gamble who, without rising, fired at Wingo, wounding him in the legs. Wingo then shot and killed Gamble. It was a matter of some controversy as to who shot first, but it was finally concluded that Gamble did.

Wingo was arrested and indicted for murder in the second degree, and twice tried. Upon his first trial, January 25, 1877, he was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years; on appeal the Supreme Court reversed the judgement and remanded the case for a new trial. (See 66 MO. Reports, p. 181.) On the second trial, May 29, 1878, Wingo was again convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years; but Judge Broaddus, before whom the case was tried, granted a new trial. The case was then continued from time to time until Prosecuting Attorney J. M. Davis entered a "nolle prosequi" and the prisoner was discharged.
