<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 201052, member: 33"]I've done more looking... and still haven't found the original court decision. It was heard in the Federal District Court in Nebraska. I did find that those who were convicted tried to appeal this case multiple times, in 1920 and 1921. However, the Appeals Court would not hear the case again. Here is one of the descriptions of what they tried to do on appeal.</p><p><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=w9w3AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA365&lpg=PA365&dq=%22thompson%22+%22wild+horses%22+omaha+case&source=bl&ots=Sap18KCEXM&sig=FVnrFMU48z36EqwVwqSzGdoZ-qA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjw9r7fqqnRAhUF2IMKHSuODSIQ6AEIJzAC#v=onepage&q=%22thompson%22%20%22wild%20horses%22%20omaha%20case&f=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://books.google.com/books?id=w9w3AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA365&lpg=PA365&dq=%22thompson%22+%22wild+horses%22+omaha+case&source=bl&ots=Sap18KCEXM&sig=FVnrFMU48z36EqwVwqSzGdoZ-qA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjw9r7fqqnRAhUF2IMKHSuODSIQ6AEIJzAC#v=onepage&q=%22thompson%22%20%22wild%20horses%22%20omaha%20case&f=false" rel="nofollow">https://books.google.com/books?id=w9w3AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA365&lpg=PA365&dq="thompson"+"wild+horses"+omaha+case&source=bl&ots=Sap18KCEXM&sig=FVnrFMU48z36EqwVwqSzGdoZ-qA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjw9r7fqqnRAhUF2IMKHSuODSIQ6AEIJzAC#v=onepage&q="thompson" "wild horses" omaha case&f=false</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I also found more newspaper articles.
