Eddie Kaltenbaugh May Plead Guilty in Double-Murder Case
Edward Kaltenbaugh is expected to plead guilty at arraignment before Judge A W Ayler on two first degree murder indictments for the killings of Mr and Mrs John Oser near Canal Fulton. He has confessed and may avoid a jury decision on the degree and the electric chair. The case hinges on his plea and potential insanity questions if not guilty. The attorney general’s office questioned him about a separate unsolved murder of a Syrian girl in New Castle, which Kaltenbaugh denies he committed. If he pleads not guilty, the trial would focus on his sanity.
