Find Witnesses
Alleged Murder
Leonard Lewis
POLICE BELIEVE THEY HAVE CON-
elusive PROOF AGAINST THE
THREE MEN ARRESTED.

The police and county officers have
continued to get additional evidence
relating to the murder of Leonard
Lewis with the result that several
eye witnesses to the killing have been
discovered.
1t is learned that after Tom Muir
dock, father-in-law of Lewis, struck
the deceased a blow over the head
with a piece Of timber. crushing his
skull, Henry Murdock with the same
stick struck him several times in the
side. One of his blows broke two ribs
near the heart and caused the ugly
cash in the side which the coroner's
jury thought was made by the engine
that was supposed to have caused the
mans death.
1t is also claimed that eye wit
nesses have definitely fixed upon Ber
Jones. the negro haekman the guilt o
carrying of the body and placing it be
side the railroad track.
