b I'm fS EDCciGI
YORKTOWN, Ind. Sept. T.
Death under the wheels of a train
here of Earl Doud, "a, revealed that
he was wanted in Pittsburgh. Pa,
on a forgery charge and that he
left his wife and three children
there several months ago.
Letters on the body from the wife
begged that money be sent her to
feed and clothe the children. From
the misSives, it was learned she was
shielding her husband by refusing
to tell Pittsburgh authorities where
he could be found.
Doud had been employed with a
gang of workmen double tracking
the Big Four railroad between Mum
Gle and Anderson. His body was
found near the mems camp short
distance from Yorktown.
There was a note on the body,
evidently written by Doud, reading:
Earl Doud was killed in an auto
mobile accident here last night"
Coroner Clarence Piepher held the
death wax due to accident, dispelling
a belief among associates of the man
that he committed suicide. The &C
cident note, Piepher believes, was
written as part of an effort to keep
authorities holding the forgery war
rant off the trail.
Doud had been using the alias
of Charles Wallace.
