Mysterious Indiana murder shrouds Culbertson case
Mrs. Jesse Overton Culbertson died after being found dying from carbolic acid use. She was found bound and bruised in a shed at Joshua Brazeltin’s home. Husband Russell Culbertson, a Lawrenceville bookkeeper, suspects murder by unseen foes and says threats were sent to pressure her about him. A letter from a friend of Culbertson’s wife implicates a suspected accomplice. The case is treated as mysterious and the home watched by police.
