Inquest figure Viger Testifies on Camp Murder Scene
Viger testified seven or eight men were in the camp the morning Stahl was killed and described one well dressed man who handed him canned heat with coffee. He fled with his bundle after avoiding the drunken spree. He claimed to have been driven to Hastings by Mr. Etter in a Ford, then sold needles in Glenwood before being held for Red Oak police. He did not know the deceased, only that they shared a crippled left hand and door-to-door needle selling. He offered to stay to help identify the killer. A red-mustached hobo admitted being in camp but said he drank canned heat and remembered little of the incident.
