Join Matt Maris from Local Historia for an evening of local history. James Munks was executed in Bellefonte by hanging in January of 1819 for the murder of Reuben Guild. This particular crime, and subsequent confession captured a sensational saga that not only drew many to his execution, but also many more to read and write about the fate of James Munks for years to come.
