June 25, 1889: A young lady named Carrie Arnold (or Carrier Turner — The Times used both names) receives an indecent proposal — in verse — and her father persuades her to help set a trap for the man who sent it. Police arrest W.W. Wyman who says he merely addressed an envelope for a friend and had no idea what was inside. During his trial, it was revealed that Wyman was actually missing author A.S. Burroughs and he was sentenced to two years in prison.
