I was just researching a trip in the Northern California area and ran into the Downieville posting on this site. In the town description, there is mention of a hanging which occured in the town: a young Mexican girl was convicted of murder and hung the same day over the Yuba River. Does anyone have any more information about the events leading up to the hanging?
