The Charl ie Brackett mortgage confession tale ends
In September 1870 a young man named Charlie Brackett confesses to a bank embezzlement in a Joliet area firm. The tale follows the mislaid receipt, misdirection among colleagues Damon Wadleigh and Dan Sturgis, and a double brotherhood reveal of Wadleighs. The case pivots on Pennington, Merriam, and the mortgage relief linked to a marriage between Albert Christopher and Bella Brackett.
