The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1915-01-28

A murder SO horrible and atrocious
as to startle this entire section was
brought to light Saturday night in the
quiet little town of Canaan, eight
miles from Skowhegan. Bert Ireland
was found horribly mutilated in the
sleeping room of his home by anxious
friends and Verde Nelson, resident
of the same community was charged
with crime. The dscoyerers in
vaded the homestead and there by the
dim rays of a kerosene lamp found
burning on table, saw the ghastly
corpse with head terribly beaten, rest
ing on a blood saturated bed. while
a sled stake, reeking with human gore,
bore silent testimony of the part it
had taken in depriving a respected
citizen of his life.
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1915-01-28

eral stores il taa village saw ireland
Friday Il lis SORE When he changed

pocket book found under the bed of
the murdered man empty, he did not
recognize it as the one ireland had ex-
hibited during the day Nh Harris
did not recall seeing Nelson il the day
time but did see him in the evening
about : p. m at his store He noted
cuts and bruises on Nelson 8 face at
that time and Nelson seemed disposed
TO talk of them telling much the same
story in the store as in other places
and to other people. that while hunt
ing during the day. he had fallen AMI
had struck his head on a rock or
rocks. DR.. Earle who dressed the
wounds on Nelson's head told of the
