TRUMBULL.
WAS IT ROBBERY AND MURDER?

WAS 1T ROBBERY AND MURDER?
That is the question some people are
now asking themselves in the case of that
old man who lived by himself in a little
old house near the headquarters of those
suspected of the Nichols robbery and
murder, and whose bones were found
among the ashes of his little dwelling one
morning last winter. At the time it was
thought that he came to his death by his
own carelessness, but the recent tragedy
has led people to suspect that the old
man may have first been killed and rob-
bed and himself burnt up to cover the
deed. He was peaceable, active, indus
trious old man, known to practice econo-
my and to be in possession of some mon
ey, which was no doubt kept about his
person. The fact was known in the
neighborhood, and recent events have
led people to sincerely question the man.
ner of his death.
