kas., several days ago. Talrant and Parker
County officers believe they have the mystery
solved surrounding the murder of Herschell
Erwin who was killed early in the spring near
the Parker County line The clew that led to
the arrest of Lowman was obtained when the
auto owned by Erwin at the time of his death
was found in barn at Winfield, and LowmaD
was identified as the party who left the stolen
auto there.
Erwin following his discharge from the
army bought a Dodge car and engaged in the
auto passenger transfer business. He was en-
ployed by some one to take them on trip and
that was the last seen of Erwin after he left
Weatherford until his dead body was found in
