Could this be him? I searched high and low and there are very few records for Madison Reno so I am thinking this would have to be him.
I also researched Martha and found no other matches I felt were 100% her.
What happened to Madison? Where did he go? I googled People Vs Madison Reno and didn't find that court record. There more to him, I know it. Guess we'll have to wait for more records to show up.
I did find a tree on FamilySearch for him and Martha is attached to him, I added the newspapers and his mugshot. I also made him a tree on Ancestry.
