He Will be Brought to Canton
For Trial.

The Grand Jury of Stark county
returned an Indictment Wednesday
charging William Henderson with
first first degree murder.
He is held to be responsible for the
cruel death of old John Hartong at
Greentown on the morning of Decem-
Der 8, 1897.
Akron people will readily recall
the details of the horrible affair. The
old man had lived alone in little
hut just outside the village. He ac-
cumulated, by strict economy, some
eight or nine hundred dollars. This
was taken on the morning of the
murder. Hartong was still alive
when found by L. w. Smith, who
gave the alarm. There was. abun-
dance of evidence of the manner in
which the old man had been wound
ed. He was bound and gagged, tied
fast to the bed and his face and head
beaten and bruised in a shocking
manner. His feet had been burned,
the robbers torturing him in an effort
to make him reveal the hiding place
of his money. Before his death he
recovered consciousness, but said
little that would give any clue to the
perpetrators of the frightful crime.
The day of the murder, word was
Sa fn fhic pfH nf fhn D,.ic
on-keeper John E. Washer immedi-
ately went to work on the case and
it is due to his untiring efforts that
the Indictment was returned. It was
at the request of Prosecuting Attor-
ney Pomerene that Officer Washer
was later detailed on the case. At
that time he was in Cleveland en-
deavoring to get some ,clew of the
murderer of Mrs. Winkler. He got
an inkling of evidence that tended
to fix the responsibility for Har-
tong's death. He wrote this to Pros
ecutor Pomerene. Ever since then
he has been in close touch with the
Stark county authorities. For a
time every clew proved false one.
Six months ago he struck a lead,
which finally resulted in Hender-
sons Indictment. Officer Washers
evidence before the grand jury was
of such nature that the jury did
not hesitate any about returning the
indictment. He feels sure he has
the evidence to convict Henderson.
Although it has been known for a
long time that he was working ON
some case, Officer Washer has been
careful not to let the reporters know
what 1t was.
Henderson is now serving an eight
year sentence in the penitentiary.
He is 80 years of age and native of
Stark county. He was a member of
one of the worst gangs in this Sec
ton of the country. Officer Washer
says others are implicated in
the Greentown murder, but he re-
fuses to tell who they are. His work
in this case has been very clever and
it is probable that he will soon have
evidence sufficient to warrant other
indictments being returned.
Prosecutor Pomerene of Canton,
said to a Repository reporter:
II want you to say for me that a
large share Of the credit for what has
been accomplished in securing testi-
mony, which resulted in the indict-
ment against Henderson, is due to
John E. Washer, the prisonkeeper of
the Akron prison. He has been dill
igent and unceasing in his work for
me ever since the hour the last
breath was breathed by John Har-
tong, which added another murder to
the history of Stark county,
