Henry A. Francis died after serving a few months as Sheriff, and his deputy, Isaac Orvis, assumed the duties of the office. It was contended that the vacancy should be filled at the first general elec¬ tion, and in the fall of 1855, John Peacock was named as a candidate. But Isaac Orvis insisted that he, as the deputy of Mr. Francis, legally held to the end of the term, and so there was no candidate against Mr. Peacock at the polls. It was now contended that the election was for the full term and the courts so decided. The early days Sheriffs lost some prisoners from the basement jail in the old court house, but if they had had the present day slippery fellows to deal with, it is doubtful if they could have held any.
