Murder trial returns to Iowa City amid surprises for widow
Teas. Molada, convicted of James Gallaugher’s murder, is brought back to Iowa City from Anamosa to face the grand jury as county attorney promises several surprises for Mrs. Gallaugher. In Davenport a scaffold collapse at the Soldiers' Orphans' home kills John C. Davis and injures four others. The grand jury in Hamilton county clears Banke Flygstad of murder charges but labels the case provoked. Sheriffs raid twelve Benton county saloons under anti-saloon league pressure, seizing drinkables and bonds posted.
