KILLED BRAKEMAN TL PLAT "CRAPS”
Two Logansport Young Men Shot and Robbed Charles O. Young, at Clymers Last Week. '■II —I / Charles Young, a Vandalia brakeman, was shot and killed at Clymers last week. The mystery looked as tough it would never be cleared (but detectives soon found a dew and arrested “Curley” Berridge, of Logansport. He at first said that he was stealing a ride and that Young kicked him off the train and that he shot to frighten him, not expecting his bullet to strike Young. Laer, however, he implicated Bert Watson and the two admitted that they killed Young to nob him of his pay, which he had just received. They said they wanted the money to secure a stake in a game of “craips.”
