Grand jury to indict I T Benjamin in Algona murder case
In Algona on January 2 a grand jury will consider indicting I T Benjamin for the murder of his wife at their home. The case, linked to an insurance policy and a possible romance, is expected to produce a sensational trial with two of Benjamin’s sons saying they sensed trouble surrounding their mother’s death. Helen Stevens may testify for the state as investigators pursue two motives: another woman and insurance money.
