New Developments In the Sarah Schaefer Case at
Bedford, Indiana.
EVANSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 24. -
Ernest Tanklsley, of Bedford, Ind., and Miss Nellie
Rainey, a school girl of Heltonsville, Ind., a small
town near Bedford were taken to Bedford today by Bedford
officers who came after them. Though the present
charge against Tanksley is the abduction of Miss
Rainey, the police will seek to learn if he has any
knowledge as the the murdered Miss Sarah Schaefer,
the young schol teacher killed more than two years
ago and whose slayer is still unknown to police. When
charged by the police with guilty knowledge of Miss
Schaefer's murder, Tanksley stoutly proclaimed
his innocence. Miss Rainey says she will commit
suicide rather than testify against Tanksley.
-----
BEDFORD, Ind., Aug. 24 -
Marshal Myers was expected by Prosecutor Fletcher
to arrive late today with Ernest Tanksley and
Nellie Rainey, the Heltonsville girl, whom Tanksley
is charged with having kidnaped. Prosecutor
Fletcher is preserving silence as to what evidence in
any, he has in his possession. He admitted today he
had some letters written by Tanksley to Miss
Rainey.
The prosecutor said today he would not secure a warrant
charging Tanksley with the killing of Miss
Schaefer, but would place what evidence he might have in
the hands of the grand jury. |
