Washburn, n. d., April 16.-Clar.
ence e. Funk, cashier of the First Ma
tional bank here, was shot and killed
by an unknown person. w. T. Ander.
son, clerk in the bank, has been ar.
rested.
The only reason for the arrest OF
Anderson is that his home is in the
direction from which the bullet came.
No other circumstances have arisen
to connect Anderson with the murder.
Funk, with his wife and two chill
dren, were on the back porch of their
home. One of the children was play,
ing and fell and when Funk stopped
to pick the youngster up a shot rang
out and Funk pitched forward. The
bullet entered the back and came out
just above the right breast. Funk was
carried into the house, but died be.
fore a physician arrived.
Funk's life has been threatened sew
eral times in the last year. Once a
brick was hurled through the bank
window and narrowly missed the
cashier. Another time a skull and
cross bones with a note below, stat
ing that parties were going to get
him (Funk) was pasted on a window
of the bank building.
Mrs. Funk, who is the daughter OF
a former state prison warden, now
dead, is Frustrated with grief. She
declares that the shooting occurred so
suddenly and that her first though
was for her husband, that she did not
have time to investigate. Mrs. Funk
and her two children were the only
witnesses to the shooting.
The bullet was extracted from
Funk's body and was found to be a s.
calibre and of special make, and said
to be a high powered projectile.
