How Sutherlin Concealed
Body Of FetterS.
Inferred II Face Downward
With a Dead Mule on Top.
Trick Did Not Work-Body Was
Exhumed and Murderer Arrested.

Plymouth, Ind, April 5-The case Of
William Sutherlin, charged with murder,
which was brought here on change of
venue from Stark county, will be called
for trial today in the Marshall circuit
court Suthcrlin is charged with having
killed Edwin Fettcrs, who had been his
friend and business partner on or about
Nov. l6, 1896 near what Is known as
Election school house. - The state
claims 10 bc able to show that imme.
diately after the murder was committed
Sutherlin placed the body OF his victim
in wagon, hauled it mile or more To
the residence of Daniel Rohrer, from
whom he purchased an old mule, which
he led behind his wagon, driving two or
three miles further 20 the banks of Eagle
Lake.
IL is claimed that he stopped there and
buried the body of Fetters eight feet deep
face downward in the sand Then the
carcass of the mule which had been killed
and skinned, was put into the grave and
the hole was filled up The murderer
evidently believed that IL anyone dug
into the grave he would be satisfied on
finuing tho carcass Of the mule. The
trappers who discovered the body keI
on digging as long as the earth was loose
and they found tho mans body. There
were several bullet holes I'm the head and
the jaw was broken. A few weeks provi-
Gus TO the discovery Of the body the de-
fendant and Fetters had been in Knox
drinking together and later they had been
seen together near where the murder was
committed. Suspicion at once pointed
TO Sutherlin as the perpetrator of the
deed. He was indicted by the Knox
county grand jury and arrested.
Some years ago he was tried in
kosciusko county with several others for
the murder OF one William Hull, citizen
of Warsaw, which occurred at dance.
In that case he was acquitted.
