Angered for the reason that he had teen justly reprimanded for ntlfejigence in his work, Charles Wolfe, a young tnarried man. ( residing near the county infirmary, struck Jacob Mangold, of Decatur, a terrific blow with a two by four cross beam and thirty minutes later he (Mangold) died, the fatal blow being dealt out ! on the Lachot road, one mile west cf Decatur. Wolfe, who resides on the farm belonging to D. Andrews, of this city, was engaged in hauling ; stone for the new road. According 1 to the story cf the workmen at the dump, he would unload the stone from one side of the wagon instead of both sides, as it should be. Ed Hurst who was assisting in leveling the grade, informed Wolfe to unload from both sides of the wagon or he would ascertain why he did not. Wolfe, it is said, became slightly angered at this, although he started his team without threatening violence. Mr. Mangold, timekeeper, heard this conversation and seeing that Wolfe was not unloading as he should, he informed the young man that hereafter he should adhere to the rules. Wolfe was heard to utter an oath, and simultaneously he struck at Mangold with a shovel, although no one is able to state whether or not Mangold was struck. Mangold, after being struck at, started across the road and had just reached the south side, when Wolfe hurled a two by four cross beam at him, the end striking him in the forehead, knocking him several feet. Wolfe then proceeded to the gravel car, located cn the G. R. & I. switch, gathered his belongings and drove homeward. Mr. Mangold recovered himself and afterward was talking to Rural Carrier Jacob Magley. It was but a short time after this, however, that Mr. Mangold fell breathless to the ground, death occuring immediately. Workmen carried him to the side of the road and there he lies as we go to press, awaiting the arrival of Coroner J. C. Grandstaff, who was at Poe. Indiana, at the time of the murder. When the news of the tragic death reached the city, many people hurried to the scene, a representative of the Democrat being the first from Decatur to arrive at the place of the tragedy. Wolfe who, no doubt, will be called upon to face the charge of murder, is a young married man and the father of one child, residing on the Robert Andrews farm south of the city. He just moved on this place a short time ago, and began at once hauling stone for the above mentioned road. He is said to have had trouble with several of the employes on the road, those who knew him alleging that he was of a quarrelsome nature. Sheriff Meyer and Marshal Bohnke left at 3:45 for Wolfe’s home to place the man under arrest, and shortly afterward Deputy Sheriff Edward Green left in the Jesse Niblick automobile on the hunt for the man, and he will likely be placed in jail within one hour. Mr. Mangold, the ill fated man, is known by almost every Decatur resident. For several years he filled the capacity of night policeman, proving effic iency as same. He enjoyed the fellowship of a large circle of friends, who will receive the shocking news of his sudden death with deep regret. The sympathy of the people go out to the heartbroken family, who are caused so much sorrow’, responsive to the cowardly work of a man many years his junior. Mr. Mangold is survived by a widow and two daughters.

In

The death of Mr. Mangold is to be deplored. As a citizen ne was of the truest type and faithful and devoted husband and father. During the many years he has resided in Adams county he has ben highly esteemed by his every acquaintance. The deceased was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, sixty-three years ago, removing to Adams county and settling in Preble township in 1863. At the age of nineteen years he was united in marriage to Miss Sophia Spangler, sister of Sylvester Spangler of this city, and to this union were bom four children, three of whom are living, namely, Mrs. Earl Taylor, of Portland, Oregon, formerly Miss Sophia Mangold, and the Misses Kate and Clara, residing here. Two brothers, Noah and Henry of Decatur and two sisters. Mrs. Henry Krick and Mrs. Jacob Sheerer, survive to mourn the loss of the departed estimable man . On the streets, in the stores and in the homes, in fact every place about Decatur, the untimely death of Jacob Mangold "was the subject of conversatioHAnd various opinions were expressed on the sad and terrible affair. All who were present at the time of the affair say that Mr. Mangold was transacting his duty, and that Wolfe, who seems to have been angry with some of his fellow workmen, allowed his temper to get the better of him. It is claimed that after he sruck Mr. Mangold, the latter being hurled into the ditch, that Wolfe jumped on his victim, was taken off by Ed Hurst who was nearby. The deceased was an easy going, kind and patient man and his friends do

not believe that he did aught to warrant such an assault. Coroner J. C. Grandstaff, who was at Poe when notifield of the murder, arrived at the scene at 4:25, and immediately ordered the removal of the bedy, and the remains were brought to the Moses & Meyer morgue, by Harve Smith, and prepared for burial. Immediately after Mr. Mangold became unconscious Dr. C. S. Clark was summoned, but the injured man had ceased to suffer almost before the messenger was on his way. Dr. Clark examined the body and gave as his opinion that the skull had not been fractured, but agreed with Dr. Grandstaff that death had probably been caused by the forming cf a blood clot upon the brain. Immediately after striking the fatal blow, Wolfe proceded to the home of John Robinson on north Second street where he, without knowing of the enormity of his crime, told his story to Mr. Robinson, stating that he w-ould probably be arrested upon the charge of assault and battery. In the course of this conversation he stated that a contention had been caused between himself and several of the workmen as a consequence of the fact that he was making an effort to haul as many loads of gravel as possible that he may receive compensation accordingly, and the levelers and a number of the teamsters, he asserts, persisted in delaying him in different ways. Wolfe quartered his team at the Robison barn at nights and would drive to his home in a single vehicle. After conversing with Robison he drove homeward, unconscious of the fact that as a result of his blow he had become a murderer. After his arrest and the awful news of the affair reached the ears of Wolfe’s young wife she broke down in grief, weep ing bitterly for several hours and she asserted that she knew her husband was grossly aggravated else he would never have committed the act. The prisoner is the father of a thirteen months’ old baby boy and is the oldest son of Joseph Wolfe of French township.

The father and mother of the prisoner, heart broken and positive of the fact that the act of their son resulted only after persistent provocation, came to the city Friday and in telling of the life of their imprisoned son, they created much sympathy among all who heard them. The father, one of the most highly respected citizens cf French township, in an interview with a Democrat representative, said that Charles, always of a quiet disposition, had nveer before been in trou ble of any nature and this fact is substantiated by many responsible persons. He continued: “I know the boy was forced into this for he has never in his life from childhood to the present day, with the exception of yesterday, threatened or attempted violence to any person, but to the contrary he has been regarded by all who knew him as quiet, self possessed young man. The conversation of Mr. Wolfe was broken several times when he broke down and wept bitterly. He further said that, with a family of ten children (four boys and six girls), he had never before experienced trouble with them, and this comes as a sad blow to the parents.

Developments in the case, summing up the reports of the eye witnesses, have created a trend of sentiment to the effect that Wolfe was subjected to provocation by several of the gravel road employes and it is even reported that the life of Wolfe was threatened prior to the encounter, but as to the authenticity of this we are unable to state. It is further said that Wolfe was admonished not to return to the dump, else he would be dealt with rcughtly. As to these reports, however, the Democrat will not assume any responsibility, as it is mere hearsay, but in justice to all concerned we publish same. In full realization of the enormity of the crime, the people, while deeply sympathizing with the friends and relatives cf Mr. Mangold, extend their sympathy also to the prisoner, who on the impulse of the moment, and seemingly bereft of premeditation, struck a blow’ which will, in all probability, require him to face a serious charge. A sister of the prisoner. Miss Ethel May, is employed in this city, and she was overwhelmed with grief when told of the sad affair. We today ascertained by talks with many of the acquaintances of Wolfe, that he has always been quiet and of kind disposition, which will be much in his favor at the time of the trial. PRISONER TALKS. A representative of the Democrat in an interview with Wolfe Friday a. m. was impressed by the prisoner of his deep regret that resultant to the blow he struck. Mr. Mangold was ushered into eternity, although he emphatically declared that notwithstanding the provocation, the least of his thoughts were that such a fate would befall the victim as a consequence of his deed. Mr. Wolfe is indeed sensitive relative to the humiliation whch will evidently be caused his wife and infant babe,and bitterly wept when the name of his good wife was mentioned. He

had engaged his attorneys. Peterson & Moran and D. B. Erwin, prior to the visit of the Democrat representative, and although he did not wish to fully discuss the affair, he made the ft Bowing statement: “I was hauling stone for the road and as I was needing all the money I could possibly make, I would begin work very early in the morning and would haul as many loads a day as I cauid to increase my pay. I was delayed yesterday several times by workmen at the dump, and after excessive provocation and a threat was made, I, while standing in wagen pitched the cross piece of the wagon, which struck Mr. Mangold. After further controversy, during which I was struck at with a shovel and admonished net to return te the dump, I drove to the home of John Robison, gathered my belongings and went home. Mr. Mangold was walking around when I left and I thought he was all right, until told by the officers that he w'as dead. I have deep sympathy for the relatives of the deceased and hope to be forgiven for whatever I have done that is wrong.” This in substance is the statement of Mr. Wolfe, who rested but little last night at the county jail. Wolfe is repentant. A short time after the conversation, the father, mother and brother cf the prisoner visited the jail and a most pathetic scene followed, the mother weeping as though her heart would break, and the father and brother contributing to the pathos attending the meeting. It seems unfathomable that a man of his few years (his age being 25 years), who never before has been the subject cf the slightest criticism has been doomed to such a fate and deserving or undeserving, he is accorded the sympathies of many.

When court convened Saturday, Prosecutor Henry B. Heller filed the affidavit, signed by the sheriff. Eli Meyer, and charging Charles Wolfe with the murder of Jacob Mangold. A bench warrant was issued, returnable forthwith and the defendant will be held without bail until the further order of the cour. The affidavit reads as follows: State of Indiana vs. Charles Wolfe, Murder, in the Adams circuit court, September term, 1908: Eli Meyer, who first being duly sworn, upon his cath swears and says, as he is informed and believes, that on the Bth day of October, 1908, at and in the county of Adams and the state of Indiana, one Charles Wolfe did then and there unlawfully, feloniously, purposely and with premeditated malice, kill and murder, one Jacob Mangold, by then and there unlawfully, feloniously, purposely and with permeditated malice, striking and beating the said Jacob Mangoid on the head and person, thereby mortally wounding the said Jacob Mangold, with a dangerous weapon, towit: a large and heavy club, which he, the said Charles Wolfe, then and there held in his hands, of which mortal wounding the said Jacob Mangold, then and there died, contrary to the form of the statute in such cases made and provided and against the peace and dignity cf the stale of Indiana.
