BODY REVEALS
1925 CRIME

NEWTON. N. j., April SIN the
Sussex county jail q man. and q
woman are being held to answer
for q murder committed on Sep.
TENDER 2s. 1875. They are Mrs.
Edward Raser. formerly OF Sandy
Stone township. Sussex county, and
Frank Van Sickle. who boarded at
one time in the Raser home. They
are accused Of having murdered
Mrs. Raser's husband. who was
caretaker for the Flatbrook Valley
Club, on the State fishing preservs3
The history Of the case Is pc.
culiar, for when the body of Ed.
ward Raser, IS years old, was dis.
covered In q wood about half q
mile from his home, Coroner De
Hart, q doctor, officially reported
the death due to a heart attack.
He did this despite the fact II
was found Raser had a wound in
his right shoulder and despite the
fact stains were found near the.
body.
Death Never Questioned
Mrs. Raser had notified relatives,
her husband had failed to return
home for dinner. and her brother,
William Heater, had discovered the
body about half an hour later.
Mrs. Raser told the coroner her
husband had been subject to heart
attacks. and the coroner concluded
the blood and the shoulder wound
had been caused by Raser falling
upon some sharp stubble.
In January, 1926, Van Sickle left
the township without letting his
former neighbors know whittier he
was bound, and in March, Mrs.
Raser departed in similar fashion.
Gossip began to associate the .ie.
parture Of the pair with the death
Of Raser, and on April rs, .e6,
Raser.s relatives had his body ex-
humed and X.ray photographs
taken. These revealed a foreign
substance in the body. Drs. Blase

THEIR COMPLETION WILL AID
THIS SECTION OF KENT COUNTY
Kenton-H -Hartly Road Connecting Up
With Boulevard At Smyrna Will
Bring Maryland Traffic Here

Three new improved roads are now
planned for construction in Kent
county this year by the State High
way Department. These are III addi-
ton to other road improvements be-
ing made or planned by the Depart
ment for this county The new roads
will add more than twelve miles to
the total mileage Of improved roads
within the county. Two Of the roads
will be nine feet in width and will be
the first roads Of this type to be built
within the State One Of the new
roads, the Smyrna-Brenford road, is
being constructed from the dupont
boulevard to Brenford, q distance Of
one and quarter miles. This road
will be nine feet in width and will
materially aid a farming section and
the Brenford Railroad shipping center
Another road to be built is the one
from Hartly to Kenton, a distance Of
four and one-half miles. This road
will be fifteen feet in width and bids
for the construction work are now be
ing advertised for by the Highway
Department. 1t is expected that this
road will carry large portion of the
traffic from Maryland to the north
and will relieve some Of the conges-
tion on the Dover to Marydel road and
the dupont boulevard between Dover
and Smyrna. Bids are also being
asked for the construction of a road
between Leipsic and Little Creek,
distance Of six and a half miles. This
road will also be nine feet in width.
The right of way for all of the above
roads have been furnished to the
Highway Department free Of cost. It
is expected that all of the construc-
ton work on these roads will be COM
pleted this year although it may be
possible that a portion of the Leipsic
and Little Creek road may have to be
carried over until next year. The
nine foot roads are new in this State
but have been used successfully in
other States. In the construction Of
these roads it is planned to give spec
ial attention to the shoulders so that
they will withstand the heavy traffic
over them. Other projects by the
State Highway Department in Kent
county this year include the widening
Of the dupont boulevard from Dover
to Smyrna, the construction of new
State highway through Dover along
the Governors Avenue route and the
possible construction of road east
Of Milford along the Rehoboth route.
