SUSPECT FOUL PLAY.
Friends of Clarence Crenshaw Think
He Was Murdered.

Selma. Ala, April 2-(Speciai)-The par
ty of friends and relatives who went to
Columbus. Miss, for the remains OF Car
ence Crenshaw. the wealthy planter who
met death in that city Monday, returned
with the remains today.
The funeral took place at Marion this
afternoon.
There was a strong supposition that Nj.
Crenshaws death was not the result OF an
accident, but that ne was murdered. he
fell down fight of four or five steps TO
a landing. and a bruisc on the side of his
face is thought to be the only result OF
the fall A few minutes before the fall ne
was alone in a room with man named
COckreIi. who a short time ago was cleared
of the charge of murder.
The man left the room first, and few
moments later two ladies' who were IN the
han. saw Mr.. Crenshaw cropping his way
through the hall toward the stairway
Reaching the stairway he fell headionS
down to the landing. After being picked
up he spoke only one word and sank into
CnconscyDusness. from which ne never
aroused His skull was crushed in, and the
opinion is that it could not have resulted
from the fan which he experienced. The
matter will be thoroughly investigated by
