Notes

Time Line

1933. Frank Wallert, 50, bridge tender for the GTW railroad, was beaten fatally Sunday night by two ore more men who robbed him as he lay dying. Police held William Wildorf, 39 and William McCafferty, 39, of Grand Haven and sought a third man. Wallert died in a hospital here. He was on his way to work not long before midnight when he took a short cut along some deeply shaded railroad tracks. It was there he was attacked. Police found a bloodstained club and a whisky bottle. Wildorf was dismissed last week from the bridge tending job which Wallert had been employed to fill. [LDN-1933-0828]
