The Murder Record
DESPERATE MAN-KILLERS - Paul and John Zeltner
DESPERATE MAN-KILLERS (a.k.a. Bloody Riot)
Our story takes place on March 25, 1899 when our parties are leaving the office of Justice Burgoon, where they just had a case on trial. Our criminal(s) are: John and Paul Zeltner, German Immigrant brothers who shot and killed in cold-blood Attorney E. S. Westenhaver of North Baltimore in Hoytsville, Wood County, Ohio. The murder was a result of money owed to Attorney Westenhaver by the Zeltners' for attorney fees.
