Welpton in jail after forged check charge and death wish
Earl Welpton, a Seattle railman with roots in Iowa, is jailed in Butte on a forged check charge after an earlier suicide‑wish confession. He claims brain injury from a Kansas City street car wreck and says he cannot recall the forgery. He twice escaped Iowa state asylum and says he wants his wife and two children in Hillsboro, Iowa, to be told only when safe. An Inter Mountain report of his presumed death is contrasted with his jail arrest and a torn letter asking Emma to keep his death from their baby.
