Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 November 1898 — Bulger Didn’t Plead Guilty. [ARTICLE]

Bulger Didn’t Plead Guilty.

The statement that Frank Bulger, under indictment in the federal court at Indianapolis, for trying to pass counterfeit money, had plead guilty was erronious, but was made from information derived from the Indianapolis papers. In point of fact he plead not guilty and his trial is set for Monday, before Judge Baker. Saiuruay morning U. &•' Marshal Mcßae, of Indianapolis, was here and summoned the following Rensselaer parties to appear as witnesses at the trial: Squire Burnham, Christie Vick, Geo. Strickfaden, Wm. Fry, J, W. Childers, and Vance Collins. They will go down to Indianapolis Sunday night. Marshal Mcßae stated while here that probably these same parties would be required to make still another trip to Indianapolis, at some later date, in connection with this same matter. If so it will be when the trial of Philip Amick, of Idaville, comes off. He was arrested as Bulger’s confederate and is believed to be the man who did the actual work of changing the bills.
