Hebron, w. Va, February 9.-News
has just reached here of the death and
confession of DR.. John B. Gorrell, who
resides on Indian creek, Tyler county,
and who died there last week, to the
murder of Alex Campbell, prominent
citizen of that place, aged rs years.
The murder occurred eight years ago
to-day.
Campbell had gone on a visit to DR..
Gorrelrs, a former neighbor, intending
while there TO collect a small debt due
him from the doctor.
The Gorrells claimed that some time
after retiring for the night the part of
the house occupied by Mr. Campbell
was blown up by means of some power
full explosive, completely wrecking the
building and killing him instantly.
Strange to say the family escaped un-
hurt.
Suspicion has always pointed to DR..
Gorrell as knowing more about it than
he cared to disclose. Detectives were
called in but they failed to find any
thing that would even justify his arrest.
There the matter rested, until the houc
of death, when he made a full confess
sion.
He said he became angry at the old
gentleman for dunning him, and kill
ed him with a club. then placed him on
bed, and removing his family to a
place of safety, blew up the building to
hide the evidence of his own guilt.
Dr.' Gorrell was born and raised in
this community on a farm almost ad-
joining farms to Mr.. Campbell's. He
served in the late war as a member of
Company X Third West Virginia In
fantry.
Calvin Campbell, Of this city, son
Of Alex. Campbell. the murdered man,
was seen by the Register man tonight.
He is much affected by the news, and
said
About eight years ago, on a Fri
day, my father left on horseback for
the waters of Fishing creek, in Tyler
county, to see Dr. Gorrell, and try to
collect $50, which was paid to him.
Father was rs years of age at the time
and could travel only slowly. The first
night out from his home, near Hebron,
Peasants county, he stopped with an
old friend named Hill. and did not
reach Gorrell's house till Saturday.
On the night of that day the dynamite
explosion occurred. There was hole
in the foundation of the house immedi-
ately under the room, where my father
was sleeping. In this hole the dyna-
mite was placed. When the body OF
nv father was found there was a wound
on the head, but it has always been
supposed that that injury was caused
by a rafter falling due to the explosion
Gorrell was suspected at the time, and
was under surveillance for while, but
was never arrested"
