THE TERRIBLE CRIME
OF DENTON FOUKE.

The terrible double crime for which
Denton Fouke, now in Jail at Freeport,
and supposed after the commission of
| it to have been in Rock Island county.
is charged, was one of the blacklist in
the history of Illinois crime. John
Bobb. q farmer. aged 81 years, and
his wife, aged 81, were found on the
morning Of Aug. 25 at their home in
Stephen county with their brains
beatersout with an ak. A tramp who
had been hanging about in the neigh
borhood was Immediately suspected.
The tramp, it is said. can be identified
as Fouke.
The murderer escaped on a horse,
leaving behind q shirt and hat as
about the only clews to the murder.
The following Sunday Fouke went to
Rockford, but remained only over
night. During that time he visited a
junk dealer and purchased new suit
of clothes, leaving his old suit in the
basement of the building.
With the cast of clothing was a hat
which has since been identified as the
hat worn by old man Bobb. With
other facts at hand this makes a
strong chain of circumstantial evil
dence against Fouke, and it is doubt
full chance if he escapes the gallows.
After his sudden disappearance from
the city all trace of the man was lost
and there were reports of his having
been seen in various parts of the state,
including Rock Island county.
