Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1903-07-21

The true story of the attempted
lynching of Benjamin A. McComb, the
double murderer, in 1864, and the facts
about the events Immediately connect
ed with the affair are told in a con-
else and interesting manner by "a
Young Old Settler" who was in OF.
tumwa, although small boy then, at
the time of the tragic occurrence. He
remembers distinctly all of the details,
and tells of them in highly interest
ing manner in the following communi-
cation, in which he refers to the arti-
Gle published in the Courier July IL:
Editor of the Courier was very
much Interested in your article in last
Saturdays Courier, in relation to the
murder of Laura j. Harvey and George
Lawrence, by BENJAMIN A. McComb.
March 20, 1860. There were few
inaccuracies in the account, but sup
pose the "ravages of time" caused
som ones memory to be a little defec-
tive in relation to some of the minor
details of that horrible tragedy. The
next morning after the above occur
renee ! was going down town when
one of my playmates shouted out to me
that "a woman had been murdered and
Z thrown into the river last night, but
she had been gotten out and could be
seen at the vacant store room of Chas.
Lawrence on the corner of Main and
Court streets" repaired at once to
the above location. She was lying on
the counter. l was too small to look
into her face, so one of the men in the
room kindly lifted me up and saw
the most heart-rending sight that UP
to that time had ever come into my
young life. One eye was fearfully
blacked, the face and neck were COW
I crew with severe bruises, and finger
, marks on the face and neck as though
/ she had been choked to death. imme-
Aiately went home, told my mother
what had seen, and for months af.
terward if were out after dark, that
face as saw it would continually rise
mp before me.
Arrest of McComb.
The official record in the case shows
that McComb was arrested in Daven
