Inmate #517 Idaho State prison
Rec: 3 Sep 1896 
Crime: Murder 2nd Degree
of Charles Manassa










I found one newspaper article



He was a Fireman 


Charles Manassa was born 6 Apr 1859

Andrew and him knew each other well and Charles was known to get mean when he drank.. According to newspaper accounts Charles had assaulted Andrew while playing cards and he was worried that Charles was going to shoot him therefore he shot him in the throat. Charles survived this shot for 2 months before he finally died leaving a wife and 2 children.






Some more interesting newspaper articles










Sad ending for a friendship, I wonder if Andrew talked to him after he shot him, did he feel bad?? did he ever drink again???


Lots of questions, but there are no answers, they are both gone have taken most of this story with them.
