The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1910-04-08

Clevenger herself, yesterday afternoon.
She said that at the point where she
saw the man, he was at least two hun
dred and possibly three hundred feet
distance. He wore wide brim light
colored hat. She thinks that his coat
was dark gray. As for his stature
and weight, she said that he was medi-
UNI weight and heavy set. To the cas-
ual glance which she gave the man, she
believes that he was neither light
nor q dark negro.
What made her take particular no.
tice of him was that instead OF jump
ing over the wire fence ut the post, as
is the common practice, he climbed
over. or rather fell over, at q section
between the two posts He would run
and then walk very fast.
She thought then, that he was hur-
rying across the fields to head off
some stock. She looked for stock but
could see none In any direction. She
says that she believes it was between
IL and o'clock Wednesday. when she
noticed the man.
The common opinion Is that someone
living in either Jackson or Washington
townships, could tell all about the
crime. However, what suspicious the
authorities have had against parties
living in these townships, has been re-
moved by the alibis furnished by the
suspects.
Still Working on Case.

from any publicly advanced as yeet,

possible.
