December 24, 1804
Per Ron Updyke: In 1804, before Illinois gained statehood, territorial Governor Isaac Lipton declared on Christmas Eve that all prisoners in the territorial prison should receive a pardon. As soon as the pardon was put into effect, one malefactor, a Samuel Coggins, went to the governor's home to thank him. He was invited to dinner, served some alcohol, and wound up robbing the governor at gunpoint and burning the house to the ground.
