About: Harriel G. Geiger

Property	Value
dbo:abstract	Harriel "Hal" G. Geiger (ca. 1840 - 1886) was a legislator in Texas. He was elected as a Greenback Party candidate. He served from January 1879 to January 1881. He lost his re-election campaign to E. C. Mobley but won the seat in a special election, after Geiger moved out of the district, and served from April 1882 until January 1883. He lost re-election in 1882 and was convicted of bribery. He was murdered by a judge for being insolent. Geiger was also a candidate for sheriff of Robertson County, Texas in 1884. He may have become a lawyer and was murdered, shot 5 times at point blank range, by White judge O. D. Cannon for making "insolent" remarks and not showing enough deference to his honor. Geiger survived for a while before eventually succumbing to his wounds. A trial was held and the jury cleared Cannon after a brief deliberation. Judge Cannon was convicted of murdering another unarmed lawyer, one of his neighbors, in 1899. Geiger is described as having had one eye. (en)
