I am apparently a descendant of the murdered people.
I was told the story a little differently. According to my mother Mr Little and a few other men killed the family and burned their bodies. He said he tried to save the baby, but the baby crawled back into the fire. I was told that he confessed. If he didn’t, maybe he was innocent. Maybe he is just one of many who were framed.

The Robert Bailey in this story was my Grandfather. He was a federal marshall at that time. I remember that he was sure that Howard Little was a guilty man.

Hi I am also a descendent of Howard littles, my grandfather was Robert Lee littles, son of Howard Littles, I have heard this story many times and I also belive he was innocent. My mother is now in her 80′s but she knows that Howards wife was seeing someone, anyway there is a lot of stuff about this case. I would love to get the answer if I could to your questions, just ask them and I will ask my mother. Sincerely D Strader

I am a descendent of Howard Littles. I have always heard the stories about my great-great-grandpa, and according to my family he was innocent. I was hoping somebody could send me some information so I can find out for myself?
