Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 161, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 July 1915 — Suspect Caught in Texas Was Not Charles Lawson. [ARTICLE]

Suspect Caught in Texas Was Not Charles Lawson.

•Sheriff Popejoy and Attorney Hannah, of Carroll county, have returned empty handed from their trip to Slinton, Texas, where they had expected to get Charles Lawson, suspected murdered of the Delphi nightwatch. It is said that the man had two deformed fingers on his left hand and that he bore a scar behind his left ear, the same as Lawson. There is said to be considerable comment about the trip to Texas because neither of the men who went knew Lawson. They say, however, that the man proved beyond a doubt that he had been jn Texas for several years. A new light concerning Lawson comes from Muskegon, Mich., where a man killed while trying to rob a store is thought to be the man wanted in Delphi.
