Suspicion Of Fonl Play.
Late developments seem to estab-
Ilish the fact that postmaster Marsh,
]of Quaker City, whose dead body
Twas found along the Panhandle track
near Newark, was foully dealt with,
His father not being satisfied with
the generally accepted theory Of
death by falling from the train, has
had his body cxhumed and examin.
ed. The physicians who made the
examination, found the base Of the
7. skull to be fractured. The stomach
has been forwarded to Columbus for
examination for poisonous matter.
mo decision has been had as yet from
the Columbus doctors. Marsh was
prosecuting witness in a case of OBJ
scene matter passing thsough his Of
fee, and his death may have beer
more than mere accident. Foul play
isstrongly hinted 1T by those ac'
quainted with. the. circumstances
and his friends are having the affail
thoroughly investigated.
