Mutilated will of a Butte woman sparks murder case
A damaged copy of Isabella Gilchrist’s will linked to the Alaska murder case of Johnston surfaces in Nome. Lawler, the Seattle attorney who drafted it, recalls it altered with erased names and a new clause. Johnston, jailed in Nome for his wife’s death, asserts she died by corrosive poison and that the will was already valueless in its mutilated form.
