Whom He Thought Des-
troyed His Home.
HOMICIDE WASIAT FOR0Sv|lLE
Where Clarence keOwn Kill.
ed CreSsa Greer in Tel
ephone Office.
EXAMINING TRIAL Is TODAY

A homicide which had as its in
centive the old story of the alleged
destruction Of the sanctity of the
home, occurred at Fordsville, this
county, last Monday forenoon about
nine o'clock, when Clarence keown
went into the Cumberland telephone
Office at Fordsville and MORALLY
wounded young Cressa Greer. Four
bullets were fired into Greer and he
sank to the floor and lapsed into I'M
consciousness. in which state lie re-
NAMED until he died six hours la
ter. 1t is said Keown iired upon
his victim without speaking word.
For several years past Keown has
worked as brakeman on the local
NJ, II. & T.. Cor l.. & NJ railroad,
his run being between Fordsville
and Providence. He is about 80
years old and has wife and two
small children. Young Greer, about
Is years old. was an employe of the
telephone company. The only other
persons in the telephone Office at
the time OF the shooting were Mr..
Lee Miller, manager OF the ex-
change. and Miss Mittie Pierce, day
operator. Immediately after the
shooting Keown walked out OF the
exchange and soon afterward had
a telephone message sent to Sheriff
T. H. Black. of Hartford, telling the
latter of the shooting and request
ing him to come and get Keown.
which the Sheriff did as soon as he
could get an automobile. Keown
was brought to Hartford and pre-
sented before County Judge r. r.
Wedding. who, on account OF being
kin to Mr.. Keown's wife. would not
undertake the examining trial.
which however. will be held before
Police, Judge C. NJ. Grove this
Wednesday, morning at o'clock.
In the meantime Keown is under
guard.
Keown claims that for some time
past he has been warned of actiOus
on the part of Greer and Keown's
wife which would indicate that
there was undue intimacy between
the two. The Greer and Keown
families live across the street from
each other in Fordsyille. His rail
road duties compelled Keown to be
away from home several nights of
each week. Keown and Greer were
third cousins to each other. and the
former is son of Cal p. KeOwn,
former Sheriff of Ohio county. un-
der whom the son served as deputy. |
Young Greer and his parents lived
at Hartford a few years ago. as :
did Keown before his marriage. Mrs. |
Keown was Miss Georgia Wedding
before her marriage.
1t is a very deplorable affair. and |
has been the cause of much COM
ment. All the parties concerned in
the killing are well known and have
many relatives. Young Keown has
always borne q good reputation as a
hard working man.

In the beginning of temptation and re-
move the wrong is the greatest public
service.
1t is much easier to treat a disease
in its infancy than TO wait until It has
developed a malady. 1t is far easier
to teach right in the young than to cure
it in age. Thus friendly hand eX-
tended to the neglected children Is a
great social need. 1t Is never wise to
wait until the arm of the law is
needed. but to reach out friendly and
protecting hand. Not one that helps by
giving of the material only, but the
hand that means love and kindness
TO humanity. There is no creature that
breathes. no matter how humble, how
wrong that does not respond in some
way to attention extended with the
spirit of friendliness. Few people there
are that want cold charity. We see
people every day in distress, but few
there be who are not ready to help
themselves. who do not shrink from
the publicity Of an organized effort for
relief. but they want the help of a
friend because they need the human
heart to beat with theirs.
