Look-up for Newspaper Article for 1916 timeframe
Hello,I'm looking for a newspaper article about a rape thattook place the end of 1915 or first couple of months in 1916.My Grt Grandfather was sent to Ft Madison Prison for a rape he swore he din't commit. He was sentenced on Feb 18,1916 in Madison Co,he was admitted to Ft Madison on Feb 22,1916 for 18 years. We have his prison record from Ft Madison and it gives an alias so I'll give both names,William Irving (BY 1882) alias Earl Cecil (BY 1872).I'm thinking there must have been a newspaper article from this event.
Also do you think actual court documents would be available?? Thanks!! Lori
