ON
WEDDING EVE
FOR MURDER
Albert Henry Held for Death Of
William HambletOn of
Centervilie.

Albert Henry, aged 20 years, was
arrested on eve of his wedding TO
a Davenport girl and returned last
night to Centerville, Iowa, where
he will be held for murder of VIII
liam ''Cripp" Hambleton, 42-year-
old taxicaD driver, who was muir
dered in his car seven miles east
of Centeryille about 1890 the night
of July ..
Henry was arrested in Eldrldge
in the afternoon, taken to DaVen-
port and not until his bride was
bidding him goodbye at the sta
ton did he learn the exact charges
against him. Henry was employed
by the Mccarthy improvement
company. Miss Margaret Humph-
reys, Petersen apartment, Third
and Brady streets, had the license
for their marriage when shefwent
to the train to bid her fiance good
bye.
Henry's arrest followed a two
months search that few days ago
led TO the Davenport Automotive
school, where Henry had studied
for a short time. The school au-
thorittes said ne left there and was
working on the Dubuque road. He
is said to have a criminal record,
although this is the only charge OF
this nature ever fled against him.
"Hambleton. the slain man, was
seen alive at 1920 o'clock the night
of July g." Sheriff Trigg of Appa>
moose county said, in relating the
~
o'clock, an hour later, he was found
by the roadside about seven miles
east of Centerville. There was
through his heart His taxicab had
been abandoned about one mile far
Their on.
at was evident that the man had
been shot from behind while he
was at the wheel, Judging from
blood spots and the position of the
bullet holes. When the body was
discovered $50 was still in the
pockets. Either an old grudge or
robbery followed by fright, was
the motive for the crime.
There is no doubt whatever that
the crime was committed in cold
blood. Hambieton was shot the
first time while he was driving the
car. Our theory is that the muir
derer or another Of the gang at
tackled him from the seat at his
side. and drilled him with another
bullet through the heart"
Three Suspects Followed.
After the investigation by Off
Gals was well underway at Center
vile, and the coils started to tight
en>around several suspects, the
quarry took fright Three of the
men suspected left the city.
All three have been located, so
the sheriff said yesterday, but thus
far Henry is the only one who has
been arrested.
