citizens Of New Virginia will 60 be-
fore the grand jury at Indianola next
week and relate stories pertaining to
the murder of Thomas Carraher which
they believe prove beyond a doubt that
Harry Hutchison, confessed slayer OF
Carraher, is not guilty-can not be
guilty alone of the awful crime.
Kmer clings to the belief that the boy
committed the murder. as he says he
did. unassisted by any one.
Ever since the murder of March l
and the confession of the lad on Aug.
16. the people of New Virginia have
been talking of the case, discussing
Its every detail and analyzlng every
circumstance and incident surround
ing it.
Before the shocking confession OF
the lad was made public they had
their minds made up that some per-
son of mature years engineered and
planned the murder of Carraher; and
the confession of the youth and the
stepson of the slain farmer has not
changed their opinion one whit.
Sentence by sentence, piece by
piece, they have studied the boys con-
fession, and as a result they go before
the grand jury with serious doubts In
their minds as to the truth of the lads
story. Their purpose is not only to
testify but also to secure, if possible,
some satisfactory answer to questions

him to do 1t.
The boy told this story to the chill
dTen of Charles Weston and he told
1t to other boys, SO it was learned yes

New Virginia believe there is some

story.
Some of the prominent citizens OF
New Virginia are firm in their belief
that the boy had nothing whatever to
do with the crime, and point to his
inconsistent stories as ground for their

MYSTERY IN HIS DEATH
Events at Burlington Lead to conclu-
sion That Man Was Com
PEELED to Suicide.

Burlington, Aug. PA deep mys-
terry has developed in connection with
the death recently Of Boyd McCully,
a printer of Winterset, whose body
was found in Front Creek north of
Burlington.
Just prior to his death, ,McCully had
$1,000, which he claimed to have Sc
cured on the sale of his life insur-
ance. He came to Burlington and spent
his money freely on automobile rides.
cleaning UP the pile in less than a
week. Early in the evening before he
was found dead he counted out $120
in the local Y. NJ G. A. rooms. Two
hours later he was begging for money
enough to take him to Morning Sun.
There is suspicion that McCu.ly sold
his life insurance under promise to
commit suicide and carried out his
pledge after having a good time. The
remains were shipped to Wapello and
Immediately afterward an unknown
man telephoned the Burlington under
taker inquiring about the body and
saying he must have a chance to in
spect it. No one can trace this mys-
terious man. One of McCully g ex-
ploits was to rush into a Burlington
automobile garage at midnight and de-
mand a machine to take him to Morn
ing Sun On arrival there he coolly
told the driver to take him back to
Burlington again as he had no bust
ness there The trip cost him $27.
