Murder at Chesapeake City.

A brutal murder was committed
in Chesapeake City ON Thursday
night, Jan. I'd. The body was
discovered ON Friday afternoon
floating in the water near Diebert's
dry dock. 1t proved to be that Of
Captain Thomas Camp, Of the
schooner Manaway, which had been
lying in the dry dock for the past
ten days undergoing repairs. Capt.
Camps home is in Goshen, N. j.,
and he was a man of about fifty
years Of age.
The Captain slept on board the
boat which was being repaired.
1t is supposed that some time
during the early part of the night
he strolled down the shore, and
was there attacked by the assassin.
Upon returning to work Friday
morning, the men thought little OF
him not being around, thinking no
doubt he had gone into town, and
nothing was learned of his where
abouts until his dead body was
found.
Near the boat was discovered a
large pool of blood and marks OF
where the dead body had been
dragged and finally thrown into
the water. The captains skull had
been crushed in with a ten pound
sledge hammer, which afterwards
was identified as belonging to the
dry dock company. This hammer
was covered with blood and por-
lions of the murdered mans brains.
The assassin had pried the bolts off
the engine room of the dry dock
company, and it was later discovered
that the'building had been saturated
with coal oil, and it is thought that
it was the intention of the murderer,
after having committed the act, to
place the body in the house and
set it on fire, and thus at once
destroy all signs of his dastardly
work, or to make it appear that the
man had met his death in the
flames. No doubt, becoming fright
ened in some manner, and not
having time to dispose of the body
in any other manner he threw it
into the water. 1t is supposed that
the incentive for the murder was
robbery, as the captain, it is said,
was thought to have considerable
money about his person. His gold
watch was found on his person, but
the pocket book, with nothing in it
but a few receipts, was found near
the scene of the murder.
The scene of the murder is i'm
mediately across the creek from
where ''Billy, the Joker" recluse,
was murdered several years ago.
This occurred upon an old canal
boat, where he made his home, and
in about the same manner. Capt.
Camp was well known in Chesa-
peake City.
Sheriff Mackey and Pinkerton
detective arrested Jas: Fl. Truss of
Chesapeake City, suspected of being
the murderer of Captain Camp.
Truss was lodged in Jail Monday.
Truss is a white man about
thirty six years of age and is
married. His arrest was a surprise
to the people Of Chesapeake City,
as he served as one of the jurors at
the coroner's inquest held on Satur-
day, and was not suspected of know
ing anything about the murder.
He has been employed as engineer
at the dry dock Of Deibert Bros. at
which place the schooner Manaway,
owned by the Captain, was tied up
for repairs when the murder was
committed.
No one was allowed to see Truss
and he was placed in a eel imme.
diately upon his arrival at Elkton
Jail. He declares he is innocent
and says he can prove an alibi.
