Railroads on Paper and the Stewart Death Inquiry
County commissioners face scrutiny over Aaron Stewart death after his broken leg led to removal to a pauper's grave. Reports say Dr Murett treated him before a county order sent him to the poor house, with the judge later hearing Becht v Cornett on sidewalk negligence. The piece also argues most proposed railroads are never built, citing John Lee of Crawfordsville and Indiana wide speculative lines.
