the owners of shanty boat hal

published in Huntington paper.

SCHOOL TEACHER
MURDERED AT CRUM
Floyd Bowen Dead With
Two Bullet Holes I'm
His Head.

The lifeless body oil Floyd Bowen,
school teacher, was found living
beside the n. d w. track near
Crum on Thursday of last week.
An examination revealed the fact
tnat two bullets had penetrated his
forehead. The body being horri-
bly, manglcd i, is presumed Bowen
was murdered aud his body then
placed on the track.
On leaving home that (Thursday)
evening Mr.. Bowen stated he in
tended going to Stonecoal to call
on young lady friend. A man
named Chatfin found the mangled
remains about an hour after he had
left home, proving that he had new
er arrived at his destination.
1t is stated Bowen and compan-
ion, John ID. Maynard, left Crum
together. Maynard was later ar
rested on suspicion of having oom-
miIted the crime, but 1t was not
proved that he committed the deed
and he was discharged from ousto-
dy.
MIR. Bowen came from promi.
nent family and he Is .aid to have
been al exemplary young man. 1t
is stated he carried considerable
money on his person at times, which
leads many TO believe that robbery
was the motive for the murder.

We reached the station with three
minutes to spare. AS we painted up
the inclined pathway toward the train
Crewe pulled me aside into the shad-
ows of a cluster of box cars. An
instant later l saw Selim pass stealth
lily by in the direction of the village.
He had evidently arrived on the down
train.
Still amazed, entered the up train,
and, as soon as we were settled in our
compartment, Crewe turned to me.

that we shall find that box of cigars
in that rag and bone shop along the
waterfront of Tilbury. Doubtless you
remember it,"

"You could not distinguish the face

and the parcel was box of cigars
wrapped in a dirty cloth. Selim must
have learned of our coming and de-
termined to remove all evidence from
the scene of the crime. Not daring
to burn or bury the cigars, he re-
solved to go to London secretly and
dispose of the box to some one of his
compatriots who frequent the Wap-
ping and Tilbury purlieus. BY great
good fortune his visit synchronized
with our arrival"
At Crewe's suggestion we purchased
cloth caps and threw away our felt
hats; we turned up the collars of our
coats and made ourselves appear as
much as possible in our role of ships
officers ashore. To find the junk shop
was easy. AS Crewe had surmised, it
was kept by an East Indian, a

real criminal is the Indian. But for
his perjured evidence, a very different
verdict would have been returned.
What most impressed the jury was
the fact that prussic acid compound
was found in the bodies of both Sir
George and Sir William, while it was
proved that Claude had bought prus-
sic acid at the village drug store. Then
there was the motive-fear that the
will would be revoked. But what
clinched the jurors in their decision
was Selim's evidence that Claude had
approached him with the project OF
destroying his father and sharing the
money that might be left irrespective
of the will. Selim had been faith
full servant for many years; Claude
was reputed to have been a man OF
vilest character in America The
