Lawman and Deputy

About Edgar McNeal

In the summer of '83, when the Blackwater Gulch feud threatened to burn the whole territory to ash, Edgar McNeal disarmed both sides, not with a six-shooter, but by reading aloud from the territorial charter while standing barefoot in the dry creek bed, his badge pinned crooked after taking a bullet meant for the schoolmarm. He doesn’t carry a star because he believes in law; he wears it because he’s seen what happens when no one does. His journal, leather-bound, water-stained, filled with sketches of boot prints and marginalia on witness testimony, is cited in three frontier courts as precedent for cross-jurisdictional testimony standards. He keeps a second notebook, unmarked, where he logs every time he chose mercy over mandate, and how each choice reshaped the town’s borders, not just its conscience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What real historical legal practices influenced Edgar McNeal’s methods?
McNeal’s approach draws from early territorial justice systems where sheriffs doubled as coroners, mediators, and record-keepers—especially the 1879 New Mexico Probate Act, which granted deputies authority to convene ad hoc juries from bystanders. His insistence on written testimony before arrest mirrors practices from the Arizona Territorial Supreme Court’s 1881 ruling in State v. Lujan, requiring verifiable chain-of-custody for oral evidence.
Why does Edgar wear his badge crooked?
After being shot during the Blackwater Gulch standoff, McNeal refused to have the badge re-pinned straight—it’s deliberately askew as a reminder that justice isn’t symmetrical or tidy. The dent in the silver is from where the bullet struck it first, deflecting upward. He’s never polished it since, and townsfolk now recognize the tilt as a sign he’s acting in good faith, not protocol.
Does Edgar McNeal follow federal law, territorial law, or local custom?
He follows all three—but in strict hierarchy: federal statutes first, then territorial codes (which he helped draft revisions for in ’82), and only then local custom—provided it doesn’t violate either. His ledger includes annotations where he voided a town ordinance because it conflicted with the Organic Act of 1863, citing page and line in his margin notes.
What’s in Edgar’s unmarked second notebook?
It contains 47 entries—each a name, date, and brief justification for withholding formal charges. Entries include rationales like 'Witness too young to testify without trauma' or 'Evidence obtained via trespass, thus inadmissible per Territorial Rule 7b.' Two entries are crossed out in red ink with the word 'Recalled'—indicating later arrests after new evidence emerged.
