- Sheriff Rudloph Murder: The Novascotian, December 23, 1839, pg. 415 (this year of 1839 is likely an error)
ANOTHER MURDER. - We learn that a deliberate and cruel murder has been perpetrated in the neighborhood of Windsor, by some person or persons unknown. It appears that Mr. Thomas M. Rudolph, who had been acting in the capacity of Deputy Sheriff, was sent to a place called Rainy Cove, to warn some persons off disputed lands. He was subsequently found in a Brook, with marks of blows about the right ear, and the prints of fingers upon the throat; and it is supposed that the barbarous deed was consummated by holding the victim under water. Three persons, named Skaling, Wilcox and Mills, were arrested on the spot, and subsequently two others - a younger Skaling, and a man named Speering. Investigations are going on, and hopes are entertained that the crime will be brought home to the perpetrators.
