The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, March 14, 1874 March 9, 1874
Leavenworth, March, 9,--Mrs. CARPENTER, a widow living at Fifth and Kiowa
streets, killed a man to day. While she was in her kitchen washing, John WHITE
of the 5th infantry band, stepped in, locked the door, and made improper
advances to her. She ordered him out, but he refused. She then told him that she
would shoot him if he didn't go. He said, "shoot and d____d." She went into
another room, got a pistol and shot him through the heart. The coroner's jury
pronounced the act justifiable.
