Night after Christmas 1872 summons from Chicago official
Carlotta Shotwell recounts her voyage with George Everett to Chicago and Detroit, a broken trunk lock at Tremont, a forged trunk check, and a complex web of railroad bonds and private papers tied to Selma and Gulf Railroad. Everett’s arrest follows a police probe led by General Washburn and Chief Kelso as courts probe claims of a forged bond theft and big railroad intrigue.
