MINISTER SLAIN
IN HIS CHURCH.
Rev. Carmichael Of Columbus,
Mich, Victim Of MurdererS.
RATCHET AND KNIFE USED,
Dismembered Body Of Clergyman,
Partly Consumed by Fire, Is Found
Between Two Stoves-FIoor ana
Pews Splattered With Blood.

Detroit, Jan. 1.-THE dismembered
body of Rev. John J. Carmichael, a
Methodist minister, was found partly
consumed by fire between two heating
stoves in one of his three churches
near Columbus.
identification of the dead clergyman
was made by Orville Lindsey, who
was sent to the church for that pur
pose by Mrs. Carmichael who had
been in great distress since her hus.
band failed to return home Tuesday
evening, and who surmised that the
minister was the victim as soon as
she heard that some one had been
murdered in the Columbus church
However, clews of the murderer
and his motive were more difficult to
obtain. There was a report that a
strange man had left a train at Hick.
ey and had been directed to the Co
lumbus church. Other reports indi-
Gated that two men were implicated.
The fact that money was found in the
clothing of the dead man and in the
ashes precluded the theory of rob.
berry and at the time of his death it
was not known the minister had an
enemy.
Rev. Carmichael had been in Mich.
gan about ten years, and for two years
had been pastor of churches a. Colum.
bus, Adair and China. With his wife
and three children he resided at
Adair. Leaving home, he told Mrs.
Carmichael that he was going to Co
lumbus to arrange for series of re.
viyal meet ngs there. He waved his
hand to a group of children as he
drove out OF the village of Adair and
from that moment all trace of him is
lost.
MyrOn Brown, who lives near the
discover the crime. While he was
waiting at the cross roads to keep an
appointment. the cold wind drove him
to seek shelter in the church. He was
surprised to find the doors unlocked,
and upon opening them was terrified
to see the floor, the pews and even
the communion table spattered with
blood Evidently the clergyman, who
was tifty-siX years old and of athletic
build, had made struggle for his life.
The authorities on their arrival at
the church found parts of the dis.
membered body between two stoves
In one stove was the head of what
was apparently Ratchet, the handle
OF which had been burned off. A dirk
was also found, This, it is believed,
was used in the murder, while the
Ratchet was used to cut the body to
pieces.
