Dear mps1280,

I found a website announcing a book about the incident in 1914, with
some detail on the events following the murders. It says, among other
things:

"Wright's relative, the Unitarian preacher Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Iowa
County Sheriff John T. Williams and Sauk County Undersheriff George
Peck set up a posse to hunt for Carleton. He was quickly found hiding
near the burned-out building. He had swallowed acid. He was nearly
lynched on the spot, but the sheriff and posse, pursued by three
carloads of men with guns, got him to the Dodgeville jail.
He died from starvation seven weeks later, despite medical attention.
He made two court appearances but never stood trial, and his motive
for the attack was never explained, although there are various
theories."
