Zachariah James Fenton

Zachariah James Fenton was a suspected member of the Sons of Liberty. In 1995 Captain Jamie Macias of the New Liverpool Police found sufficient evidence to arrest Fenton for the murder of "Honest" Dick. On searching his home, the police discovered a recently discharged Nagant rifle which they hoped forensic study would show was the murder weapon. In addition to the Russian made rifle the police found forty-eight Lebel revolvers, thirty-five Eibar revolvers, twenty-seven Astra Modelo 200 pistols, twenty-nine Lebel military rifles and three Chauchat light military machine guns. They also discovered ₤219,827 in gold and silver currency in the form of livres d'or and pesos and 943 pounds of coca leaf extract.

When Captain Macias informed Colonel Thomas Bushell of this, it puzzled him since the related case of the theft of The Two Georges had had a Russian connection but all the weapons and money were from the Franco-Spanish Holy Alliance.
