Murder of Prieto

Murder of Prieto - This occurred in July, 1859, in that part of Napa City known as Spanishtown. There was a general row going on among the Spaniards and Prieto was stabbed several times, any one of seven of them being severe enough to have proved fatal. One Geralda Feliz was held for commission of the deed by the Grand Jury, but there is nothing further on record concerning the case.
