Bloomington (IN) Weekly Courier, May 9, 1913, p. 1. Nashville, Ind., May 6-Frank P. Taggart, recorder of Brown County, his wife, Ella Taggart, and his brother, Hannibal Taggart, were arrested this afternoon on a charge of murder in the second degree, the victim being Norma Taggart, who died April 12. East gave bond in the sum of $7,500. Norma was the 16-year-old daughter of Hannibal Taggart, a teamster. Her mother died when she was but a child, and since that time her home for the most part has been with relatives. On account of family troubles, she stayed at the home of her father and stepmother only a short time. For almost a year before her death, she had been making her home with her uncle, Frank Taggart, who lived one mile east of town. The day before her death, while Frank Taggart and his wife were in Columbus, Ind., Norma went to the home of Elliott Foreman, a neighboring farmer. When Taggart and his wife returned, they went to the Foreman home where, it is said, the girl cried and begged not to be returned. Foreman refused to let her return and called the sheriff who refused to come. Her father was then notified and, it is said, forced her to return. After she had said that her aunt would kill her, Foreman and neighboring families followed her to the Taggart home where, it is said, the girl was severely punished. Early the next morning the girl died in convulsions. Frank Taggart moved his family from the home where the girl died the day of the funeral. Norma's mother died when she was only six weeks old and left her a large farm in Brown County, and her father was her guardian. The treatment of the girl has been investigated by the court several times, and indignation has been running high in Nashville and Brown County since the girl's death.
