.hat To krew uothirg OF the crime. He ex-
pressed perfect willingness to accompany
Chief Holiday to Monmouth. and they
departed on a noon train.
Marschel Is suspected Of the killing of a
man supposed to be Charles Towne on the
night of July 4. A, daybresk on the morn
ing of July the body. which had the APP
pcarance Of being that of a tramp, was
found alongside the Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road tracks a few hundred feet from the
station. 1t was thought at first that the
man had been struck by train, but closer

and Woertle. Marschel was found at his
house. He readily admitted that he had
been in Monmouth a day before the body
was discovered. and said he tossed the let
