Mysterious wanderer stirs Southport as Sheriff not called
A stranger in a long coat and sandy moustache visited the Elwood house in Southport seeking lodging. Rumors connected him to a Michigan clergy murder, but locals found no crime and suspicion faded as townsfolk watched, while the man paid a $250 sum and stayed in town. Residents speculated, and police from Bridgeport claimed no jurisdiction.
