Elwood Garman Thwarts Justice
Convicted Of Murder in First Deqree, He
Kills Himself in His Cell.

Elwood Garman, who was last
week convicted of murder in the
first degree for shooting William A.
Murray, on the street in Mifflin-
town, on December 23rd of last
year, committed suicide in his cell
in Jail Sunday night.
He was found dead in bed Mon
day morning and small vial at
his side containing carbolic acid in
dicated how he met his death. A
coroner's inquest failed to disclose
how he secured the poison. His
cell was at the back part of the Jail,
and no one was permitted to 60
near him. The Sheriff is at a loss
to account for it and a rigid inves-
tigation is under way.
Garman, who was a prominent
citizen of Mifflintown, was convict
ed on June 18th of murder in the
first degree. He was a brother of
John M. Garman, a leading Demo.
cratic politician OF Luzerne county.
The crime for which Garman was
convicted was prompted by ieal-
ousy. Murray, a railroad clerk,
met Garman on the streets of Milf.
lintown and accused him of being
unduly intimate with Murray's
wife. A quarrel followed and Gar
man drew a revolver and shot Muir
ray. Garman contended that he
hired in self defense, that Murray
had thrown stones at him and was
about to repeat the attack when he
used his revolver.
