DECKER MURDER
CASE WEARS ON
Pennsy Brakeman First to
Reach LOvett After Death.

COLUMBIA CITY, Ind, Dec. 6-The
star witness for the State In Fred
Deckers murder trial became confused
under cross examination today and a
hearty laugh from the crowded court
room interrupted the story Of the brutal
killing of Leroy Lovett.
Clayton Merrell a private detective OF
Elkhart, gave testimony which conhicted
with that submitted as the trial OF Virgil
Decker Fred's younger brother, who was
sentenced to life imprisonment for the
crime.
How long have you been detective?
defense attorney asked.
"A little over q year" Merrell replied.
The defense then brought forth evil
dence from Virgil Decker's trial, where
Merrell said he became n private detec-
tive in February, 1920.
~ thought this was February Nerrell
said while the murder fans laughed.
RAYMOND Cleary OF FIT. Wayne, a
brakeman on the Pennsylvania railroad
train which struck a buggy placed on a
crossing near Atwood in an accident ruse
to cover up the murder, testified for the
prosecution.
Clenry testified he saw the horseless
buggy before the train struck 1t. He
said he was the first one to reach Loyett,
who was lying nearly dead between the
tracks. a farmer passing by tolG Cleary
the dead youth was not Virgil Decker,
although letters were found in the peck
cts Of his clothing addressed to Virgil.
The State is trying to convict Fred Of
conspiring with Virgil. another brother,
Cal, and their mother to collect $4,000
life insurance Virgil carried by falsely
identifying Lovett's body.
Merrell accompanied Mrs Lydia Decker
from Goshen to Bourbon, where Lovett's
body was in the morgue. Samuel Lovett,
father of the dead youth, was also along
After the elder Lovett had identified his
son, Mrs. Decker entered the room, and,
stroking his hair, said, according to Mer
rell. ooh, my poor Virgil"
Merrell said he and Samuel Lovett en-
countered Mrs. Decker accidentally in the
Goshen traction station and that her
first question was:
"How long will it be before l get my
Insurance ?"
