MURDER MYSTERY
A HENRY CO. TRAGEDY OF 1889
RECALLED ~ pEATH.BEo
CONFESSION.

Mt Pleasant. Sept. THE mys.
terry surrounding the death OF warner
Davis. a farmer living near Salem, IN
1859, is apparently cleared by the
deathbed confession of Wallace Cod
frey, a former Iowan, who died IN ore
gon recently. According to Godfreys
statement Davis was killed by clark
Osborn, a former resident of Salem.
Davis was killed one night In the
fall of 1859 when he went to investl-
gate a disturbance in his smokehouse
on his farm two miles northwest OF
Salem. It Is supposed that he was
hit by hickory broom handle IN the
hands of a man who was hidden back
of the door. Davis was carried to the
house where 1t was found that his
skull was crushed. He died few
hours later. The assailant made his
escape.
The old residents of the vicinity de-
clare that the motive for the Killing
lay in Davis knowledge OF a band OF
counterfeiters who were working IN
the vicinity, Davis appearance at the
smokehouse giving someone an oppor'
tunity to cut off any source OF inform
alton which might lead to the arrest
of the makers Of spurious coin.
Davis gained his knowledge OF the
counterfeiters because his cows broke
out OF the pasture one fall day proceed
ing his death. Smoke, rising from a
hollow, while he was searching for the
beasts, attracted his attention. Max
Ing his way noiselessly through the
bushes, he found three or four men
making counterfeit money, the smoke
coming from a small furnace they
were using in the manufacture OF the
spurious coins. He recognized the
men, according to the history OF the
case. which now is being recalled by
the residents of the vicinity, but he
did not make his presence known to
them.
On returning home he stopped at
the home of Joel Jones, a member OF
the grand Jury, and told Jones he had
something for him which he would
give out before tho next term OF court.
On arriving home he told his wife,
however. Two weeks after he discov-
cred the counterfeiters he was killed.
Recently Mrs. Louisa Maxwell. OF
Story county, a former resident Of
Henry county returned from Oregon
where she had been visiting her half
brother, Asa Llewellyn. formerly of the
same county. While on her visit In
the west she learned from her half
brother of the death Of Godfrey, and
of his confession. Clark, accused by
Godfrey on his deathbed as being the
murderer of Warner Davis, has been
dead for ten or twelve years, not hav-
Ing resided in this vicinity for num-
Der Of years preceding his death. God
frey was never suspicioned Of having
any knowledge of the tragedy.
