Goodwin
Goodwin was held at the Clearfield jail in Pennsylvania. On the night of April 8, 1881, he was found dead in his cell from a knife wound, after two people who said they were his relatives had visited him. A coroner's inquest found that another prisoner, not the visitors, stabbed him during a quarrel. The newspaper questioned whether the jailer was careless in allowing a visitor to see that prisoner.
