BODY VAS FOUND
LYING nv THE ROAD
Robert Williams, Prominent Business
Man of Poultney, Died in Some
Unexplained Way.

Poultney, Aug l5.-Mystery still en-
slrouded the death of Robert Williams,
SO, prominent business man of this
place and half owner of the Williams
machine shop, whose dead body was
found Sunday morning at 6 o'clock
lying in the road about quarter OF a
mile this side of the Hampton, n. T.,
town line.
Whether Mr. Williams was the vic
tim of foul play, whether he fell from
vehicle and sustained fatal internal
injuries or whether his death resulted
from natural organic causes are ques-
tions yet to be determined.
The absence of marks on the body
leads the authorities to believe that it
is doubtful if any crime is attached to
his death, at least so far as external
evidence shows. The suicide theory
is also secuted.
Cause of death probably will not be
definitely determined before the ar
rival of DIR. B. c. Stone of the state
laboratory of Burlington, who is ex-
pected here to-day to perform an au-
topsy. County officials are holding
themselves in readiness TO act on any
criminal clew which his findings may
furnish.
Mr.. Williams body was found by a
small girl who was passing along the
road. She ran to her home and told
her father, and he. with William Beth
el, went TO the spot and identified the
body as that of Mr.. Williams. DIR. j.
J. Dervin and Selectman Edward Rip
ley were called, and DIR. Dervin after
an examination expressed the opinion
that Mr. Williams had been dead for
several hours
States Attorney Charles Z. Novak
was notified of the case and he, after
an investigation, decided to call in a
of the state laboratory. |
Mr. Williams had been o resident
Of this place practically all OF his life. |
He is survived by his wife and five
sons, Harry, Edwin and Robert VII |
liams of New York. and Russell and |
George Williams OF Poultney.
