ARREST ROGERS
 FOR MURDER OF
 70-YEAR OLD MAN
Deputy Sheriffs Hold Same Negro Second Time On Serious Charge

Ed Rogers, 20, negro of Rob Roy, is implicated for the second time in an assault charge. He was arrested Saturday by Deputy Sheriffs Me- Burnett, Baldwin and Wick at Rob Roy and is being held in the county jail charged with the murder of Jim McNary, 70 year old negro hostler employed by J. P. Graice of Rob Roy, who was found in badly beaten con- dition in his shack, early, Saturday morning and later died when taken to local hospital.
 Charges of first degree murder will be filed against the negro, ac- cording to Deputy Sheriff McBur- nett, who says that despite the ne- gro's protestations of innocence in- vestigation of the assault on the aged man enmeshed Rogers in a net of suspicion.
 Missed Early Saturday.
 McNary was missed early, Saturday morning when he did not appear to attend his usual duties. Searchers found him "on all fours" with his head against the wall in his shack, severely injured from a hard blow which had crushed his skull. Blood was smeared over the floor of the cabin and the assailant had evident ly walked in the blood pools in his search for valuables, foot prints of blood being plainly visible on the floor of the dwelling. The blow had been administered with the barrel of a single barreled shot gun, ac- cording to the deputy sheriffs, who investigated. The gun was found in the cabin and was covered with blood, according to MT. McBurnett.
 Rogers, according to the officers, told friends in the Rob Roy neigh borhood, Friday night that he was going to Stuttgart and was seen to frequent the locality where the aged negro resided. He also had been at the watchman's house near the bridge nearby Rob Roy. When ar- rested, Saturday afternoon he claim ed to have spent the night at home. His parents said he had not been at home. A skinned place on his left leg also led officers to believe he had committed the crime. When asked concerning it he explained that while with a party of friends the night before he had thrown a dynamite cap into fire and when it exploded tho cap flew and hit him on the leg skinning it. The friends with whom he is said to have been at the time told officers so they stated, that he had thrown the dynamite cap into the fire but that it did not hit him. Officers be- lleve the scratch was received while scuffling with the murdered negro.
 Robbery the Motive.
 Robbery was evidently the motive Tor the murder of McNary. Every thing in the cabin was torn up in- dlcating some one had been search Ing the place for hidden money. The aged negro was said to have had several hundred dollars.
 A year ago Rogers and his brother were accused of shooting Jim McGee at Rob Roy, but were able to prove m court that they had not been at the scene of the shooting. McGee later recovered.
 An inquest over the body of Me- Wary will be held, Sunday n<rninp

Suppose All This
SnOW Had Fallen
Here the Same Day

A statistical fend figured up our
present winters SHOWS, and here are
the results:
Eight billion, three hundred and
seventy-one million, seven hundred
and forty-two thousand and forty
pounds of snow fell in indianapolis
up to March 1. 1t amounted to
1,341, ,6S5, 600 cubic feet.
The statistician learned that the
average cubic. foot of snow weighs
6.24 pounds. This, the area of the
city in square feet, and weather in
formation, enabled him to reach his
conclusions.
Armed with these stupendous fig
ures. he asked Weather Observer j.
H Arlington why there was such
an unusual amount of snow this
winter
''It was just little above normal"
answered Mr.. Armington. For the
last FIVE months the fall OF snow
was PAT inches, and the normal
amount is 234 inches"
