Little is known of his early
life. He was believed to’ have)

Mexican war and to be an escaped or discharged convict from
a British penal colony. He had
been branded with the letter R.
Bennett was warned to leave
town following the pistol stealing
affair, but a few days later $357
worth of gold silver was stolen
from a Stocking Flat miner. Bennett was suspected and when apprehended in Newtown he_ had
the exact amount of the stolen
valuables.
He was summarily’ tried by a
miners jury, sentenced to fifty
lashes and warned not to return
to Newtown on pain of death.
The following night a number
of cabins at Coyoteville were entered and robbed. Bennett was
captured and on his person was
a. watch and chain and several
other articles indentified as stolen from Coyoteville cabins.
He was promptly indicted by a
grand jury. Nevada County Judge
Thomas Caswell and several attorneys advised Bennett to plead
guilty to the Coyoteville robbery
and take a jail sentence rather
than risk hanging for the Stocking Flat robbery.
When he appeared in court his.
attorney for some reason never
explained entered a plea of not
guilty and Bennett was tried on
both charges. He was _ promptly
convicted and ordered to be executed by hanging.
