MANY PEOPLE
WERE ANXIOUS CONCERNING A
REPORT CIRCULATED YESIER-
DAY ABOUT BILLY MADDEN.

Wheeling and Pittsburs Sunday pa
pers were thoroughly searched and
local newspaper men besieged with
questions yesterday, by people who
had heard that Billy Madden had killed
his wife, known in this region as
Name Jones. The crime was sup
posed to have been committed at
Findlay, Ohio.
The truth of the matter is that Billy
is in some trouble at Murray City,
Ohio. and his brother, Tom, bartender
at the Marion, was summoned by
wire, the message stating that Billy
was likely to go to Columbus, pre-
sumably to the penitentiary for some
crime unmentioned.
Tom did not make general display !,
the telegram. hence the scandal mon
gers concocted a story OF their
own and told around town that murder
had been done. Tom left for the
Ohio town Saturday and yesterday
the proprietor of the Marion received
a message that he would return today
and saying that the trouble was moth
ing serious.
