WOMAN SLAIN
AND HOME FIRED
Mrs. Laura Rayle Found Dy-
ing Near Blaze.
VISITOR ACCUSED OF CRIME
Man Seen Coming From Direction Of
Farm Shortly Before Fire Was Dis
covered, Is Held.

The Rayne farm house, situated
about one mile from Powellsville, Nd,
a small village in the eastern part of
Wicomico county, was the scene of a
murder on Friday, when some one
entered the building and crushed in
the skull of Mrs. Laura Rayne, the
lone occupant Of the house, and then,
In the hope of hiding the crime, set
fire to the dwelling.
Benjamin T. Davis, a resident Of
Powellsville, has been arrested and
charged with the crime.
About five o'clock in the morning
smoke was seen pOuri3g from the
windows of the Rayne home by neigh
bors, and upon reaching the house
they found a pile of wood in the cen
ter of the kitchen, which had been sat
urated with kerosene and then ignit-
ed Near the burning mass was the
form of Mrs. Rayne, apparen y lead,
vita the top of her skull crushed {,
= When the neighbors attempted to
. owe the body they found Mrs. Rayne
vas still alive and she managed to
say Don't" Medical aid was quickly
summoned. but when DR.. Lawrence
Freeny, of Pittsville, arrived he pro
pOunced her dead.
A short time prior to the discovery
Of the smoke coming from the Rayne
house. Davis, who is now under ar
rest, was seen coming from the direc-
tion Of the Rayne home, with a gun
under his arm. Suspicion quickly
pointed to him. It was alleged that
he caused the separation of Mrs.
Rayne and her husband some months
ago, and has since been a frequent /
visitor at the house. Warrants we're
sworn out for his arrest.
After some searching by Sherifr
Smith, Davis was discovered at Viii
lards, small town about six miles
from the scene Of the murder He was
arrested, and on being srraigned he
pleaded not guilty. He was held I'M
der $4,000 bail for court.
Mrs. Rayne, the murdered woman.
was about forty years old, and had
been married twice. About six years
ago she married Lemuel Rayne, a
prosperous farmer, with whom she
lived until two months ago, when the
couple separated. Her first husband
was Noah Clark, of Wicomico county.
Davis is a widower and has been
engaged in the mercantile business
near POwellsville. About two years
ago he was arrested and convicted of
Illicit selling of liquor and sentenced
% six months in the Maryland peni-
.entiary.
