Chicago Bond Robbery Case Sheds Light on Miss Shotwell
A Chicago police chronicle details the 1872 bond theft involving Miss Carlotta Shotwell, Everett, Armour, Brooks, and Gen Roddy. The narrative follows arrests, hotel movements, baggage checks, and a controversy over private papers tied to Selma and Gulf Railroad bonds worth $54,000. The plot links New York and Detroit investigations, political influence, and a trial that tests veracity between Shotwell and Roddy’s statements.
