Alleged Murderer Captured In Carroll Iowa Shooting
A man calling himself Bert Morrison was detained last week in Carroll for the murder of Deputy Marshal John Conway. Morrison matched a description from the city and was held after being located at the U.S. Lunch counter, then released and recaptured until state agents arrived. He was taken to Fort Dodge for identification, with two old teeth and a nose scar as key marks. Carroll residents are enraged and wary of releasing him, while authorities push to confirm if he is the shooter.
