Acquittal in manslaughter case shocks Norwalk crowd
Times Past recalls a 1920 verdict where a former Willard patrolman was acquitted after eight hours of deliberation in Norwalk. The case stemmed from a shooting during a gambling raid that killed a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad employee. The jury faced whether the shot intended bodily harm or showed disregard for life. The 1935 entry recounts a Steuben house fire driven by heavy snow with three young girls rescued, neighbors saving furnishings, and a bridge worker losing tools. It also notes 29 cars of a Willard freight train derailing near New Castle and rail delays due to two wrecks, while highlighting community aid and resilience across years.
