Goldwater Cleared After Hearing In Re Receiving Stolen Property
In Justice Smiths court at South Butte Mandel Goldwater was given a preliminary hearing on a charge of receiving stolen property and was acquitted. The case involved a man named Michael OBrien who stole five trunks from the poor farm and sold them at the Goldwater store. OBrien, claiming to own the trunks, testified he was drunk. Goldwater claimed no contact with him. A key witness, expressman Ed Sullivan, said OBrien hired him to haul trunks to the shop. The defense weakened the prosecution's narrative, and the judge did not dismiss the charge against Goldwater. OBrien faced grand larceny and burglary substitutions, while Bean’s case was dismissed due to absence of a key witness.
