Bullet Wounds and the Waterloo Bailiff Legend
John N. Sweitzer, longtime Waterloo bailiff and former police chief, keeps a steel jacketed bullet as a pocketpiece from a 1906 shooting. A shot through a window grazed a woman, the bullet traveled through a wall and embedded in a brick chimney. Sweitzer traced the bullet to a Krag rifle and a local man, who admitted firing at a rabbit the day before.
