NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-William
Turner, whose death" netted his
heirs $4,000 in life insurance, has
returned from Germany to face a
charge of murder in connection with
a mine explosion near McCan, KY,
in which two men were killed, one
of whom was supposed to have
been Turner.
Turner was foreman in the mine
until last January, when the ex-
plosion occurred. One of the bodies
was identified as that of the mine
foreman and an insurance company
paid Turner's heirs $4,000.
Agents of the insurance company,
however, discovered that the miner
had gone to Germany instead of to
the usual destination of dead men.
They learned that he planned to re-
turn to the United States and when
the S. S. Resolute locked late Thurs
day, Turner was greeted by detec-
tives who removed him to police
headquarters.
Upon his arrival at headquarters,
the erstwhile corpse was greeted by
J. T. Hatfield, sheriff of Pike
County, Kentucky, and one Of his
pals. The men greeted each other
and gossiped in friendly fashion and
Turner was then informed that a
warrant charging him with murder
had been, sworn out in Pike County
on Oct 12 and that he would be re-
turned to his old home to face trial.
