In Weird Mystery
On Eastern Shore

CRISFIELD, Nd, Nov. 20
This small town on the Eastern
Shore, home of oyster dredgers
and quiet with rustic simplicity
was stirred to the point Of violence
today with the announcement that
Arthur Dize, popular grocery clerk,
had been slain by blows on the
head-a verdict reached as the
result of an autopsy held today.
William Powell, 40, is held with
out bond in Jail, charged with kill
ing him.
Powell had been living with
Mrs. Die and a 19-year-old son.
Die and his wife have been
estranged for 10 years. Last
weekend he returned to visit
her. He died early Monday
morning. Three physicians at
tributed his death to natural
causes, although finding him a
victim Of alcoholism and motto

rat bites on his head.
Body Is Exhumed
Today, however, his body was
exhumed after a police inquiry
had fastened suspicion on Pow.
ell, and the autopsy confirmed
the theory that he had died by
violence.
"Hemorrhage of the brain
caused by blows on the head"
was the physicians finding.
Physicians who performed the
autopsy are Drs. c. E. Collins and
r. R. Norris, both Of Crisfield.

Found in Room
Die was found in a room In
the two-room apartment which
Mrs. Die maintained in the
downtown section OF this small
town. Police were told that Sun
day night-the night preceding
the discovery of the body Of Dize
Powell, the son Charles, and
Mrs. Dize occupied one room.
Die slept in the other room.
Dies face was beaten to a pulp.
Physicians placed credence in the
theory advanced by the wife that
rats had eaten the face Of the
husband.
Meanwhile, police were in
formed that a fight had taken
place Sunday night in the Die
apartment. Someone, police were
told, heard Powell scream I'm
going to kill you"
