Parties---Keward offered.

Especial TO The Richmond virginian.)
Meherrin. Va, March 22.-This com
munity has never been more deeply
stirred than IL has been since the news
spread rapidly last Friday morning
that Mr.. Philip Goetz. of Simplicity.
had been murdered and his store robbed
during the preceding night. The door
was found open by colored passerby
early that morning and the fact re-
ported to a netghbor. Investigation
disclosed that fact that the old gentle
man had been struck down In a small
back room.
A glance at the body and surround
ings was sufficient to show the cause
OF death. His skull had been crushed,
and a bloody axe handle, taken from
his stock. had been used as a weapon.
The murderer had evidently gone to the
store before the closing hour the night
before and asked TO purchase a lamp
chimney. knowing that Mr.. Goetz
would have to go back into the small
rear room to secure this article. The
lamp chimney, still wrapped as 1t came
from the manufacturer. was tightly
cIasp~d In the victims lifeiess hand
when the body was found next morn
Ing. showing that death must have
been practically instantaneous.
Squire J. w. Figg conducted the In
quest and ordered the arrest of two
negroes living nearby, Charlie Woods
and Jesse Hurt. These men, who are
br in law. had both recently had
a difficulty with the murdered man
who had suspected them OF stealing
from him. They were brought to Me-
herrin and subjected to rigid exami-
nation, but maintained stoutly their
innocence and were finally able on
Saturday to establish an alibi. and were
dismissed from custody. Today Com
monwealth's Attorney Asa p. Watkins
has been assisting Justice Figg In In
curing into the case Suspicion Is
strongly pointing TO some parties who
will probably be taken into custody
shortly. A reward of Atty dollars for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of the guilty parties has
been offered by the board of super
visors of Prince Edward County.
An examination of the store and
stock showed the cash drawer and con-
tents missing as we'll as several small
articles OF merchandise. The pockets
OF the victim were untouched. and
forty dollars in bills and valuable
watch were left on the body.
