OLD MAN McNAMARA'S DEATH.
The Starvation Story From Rush
Hill C0ntradieted by a Relative
of Deceased.

The Mcnamara case, a full ac-
count of which was published in
Thursdays LEDGER, is attracting a
large amount of attention through
out the county, and especially in
the community where it happened.
In trying to unearth the facts Of the
case, a LEDGER representative Sc
cured au interview with Jesse
Fike, a son-in-law of the deceased.
Mr.. Fike was formerly in Mr.. Urban
Weimer's cigar mandatory and
was married to Miss Mcnamara last
fall.
Mr.. Fike told the reporter that he
knew very little of the affair but was
present at the coroner's inquest
and heard most of the testimony.
He stated that when Dennis Nc
Namara was placed on the stand he
testified that the old man was not
compelled to sleep in a disused part
of the house, as was charged, but
had the best room in the house and
he (Dennis) slept with him. An
other witness stated that on the day
the deceased is said to have
been turned out, he met him in q
lane a short distance from his home
and on questioning him as to why be
was out, he told that the boys had
been quarreling and had wound uE
with some kind of a racket and be
had left.
Mr.. Fike further stated that OF
two occasions he had visited the
family and they seemed to get along
very well together but that was while
John was away and he did not know
how things were since his return Al
he had never seen him and did no
know what kind of a man he was
Mr.. Fike emphatically states that b
does not believe the story about tn
old man being starved.
