A Card from Sheriff Goodall.
Ed. New Era -
Dear Sir: It having been reported to me that Messrs. W.A. Goodall and
Benj. Shattuck of your county, are accused by the friends of Walker B. Rodman,
whom I arrested last week charged with the crime of murder in Indiana, of
conspiring together in betraying him and causing his arrest. I take this
opportunity of stating to all concerned, that neither W.A. Goodall or Benj.
Shattuck had anything to do with the detection or apprehension of the accused,
but that his arrest was the legitimate result of the charge against him which
will follow him until convicted or acquitted.
Respectfully,
R.P. Goodall, Sheriff.
