Arnett Pleads Guilty and Is Sentenced in Coffin Killing
At a Pocahontas district court adjourned session J W Arnett was sentenced to eight years in the Fort Madison penitentiary for manslaughter in the death of Rolfe stockman Clarence W Coffin. Coffin was found dead near Arnett’s Des Moines river cabin Aug 30 1928. Arnett argued self defense while admitting he killed Coffin if he did. The case began with an inquest and grand jury indictment after a mistrial on murder. The sentence may be reduced with good behavior. The Evening edition notes the Campfire Girls bake sale Oct 27 and recounts the 1825 Stockton & Darlington railway’s first locomotive with safety rider.
