    • According to the Northeastern Reporter, a law journal of state court cases used by law students ans lawyers, volume 45 page 6 in Bushrod vs State of Ohio;
       
      On December 11, 1895, Bushrod Kelch, shot and killed his wife Addie Pensinger after she filed for divorce.  His trial was set for February 1896 and heard by judge Ong.  In March, 1896, Bushrod Kelch was convicted of 1st degree murder and sentenced to death.  He appealed the conviction to Judge Birchard on a plea of insanity and in Oct 1896, his sentence was overturned and he was sent to prison for 15 years.
       
      This is the actual sentenceing for a law journal.
       
      Jugde Ong- "It is the sentence of the court that you be taken to the county jail and from there to the penitentiary of the state, where you will be confined until the 23rd of July, 1896 when you will be hanged by the neck until you are dead; and may God have mercy on your soul."
