Bonus points if you can guess w/o Google which of those guys was (1) the murdered newspaperman, (2) the Governor who declared San Francisco in a state of insurrection & asked Sherman to use the militia to suppress it, & (3) the US Senator killed by the CA Chief Justice in a duel.

That CA Chief Justice was promoted to that role after being arrested by a vigilante committee for stabbing a guy; he was later gunned down by US Marshals while trying to kill a US Supreme Court Justice.
