CHARGE DAVIS WITH 1ST DEGREE MURDER

Camden Man Rearrested Upon the Unearthing of Body of B. F. Bourne in Garden Patch on Farm.

(Continued from Page One)

nesB. Some one in the party suggested that a few shovelfuls be turned up to determine whether or not the soil had been mixed. The searchers were sooa satisfied that it had been, and the spot given further notice. Prod Into The Grave. A sharp iron rod held by Prosecutor Gilmore was easily sunk into the ground, and when pulled up the point bore an unusual odor. A shovel was brought into use, and in a few moments' time the searchers were horrified at the sight of the head of a man. A few more shovelfuls of dirt removed and the searchers were convinced that the body was that of Bourne. Was Badly Decomposed. The body was badly decomposed and it was with difficulty that the searchers were able to raise it from the grave. The flesh was discolored and parts of it had fallen" off the bones, but the man's features were plain. With the exception of his shoes, Bourne's body was fully clothed. Skull Fractured. Coroner H. Z. Silver, of Eaton, was notified and went to Camden to examine the body, and it was found that the skull of the dead man had been badly fractured in the back, apparently inflicted by a blow from some blunt instrument. All other parts of the body were so discolored that it could not be determined whether or not there were any other marks of violence. The body was brought to Eaton by Undertaker Harry D. Silver and after a post-mortem examination will be placed in the Mound Hill cemetery vault until viewed by John .E. Bourne, of Middletown, a cousin of the dead man. Buried Many Months. While it is impossible to determine just how long Bourne's body had been buried, officials hold evidence which tends to Bhow that it has been about fourteen months since the man's death. One proof is furnished by records the man kept of his expenditures and credits, which showed that his last expense entry had been made April 11, 1912. Another is furnished by the fact that corn stalks were growing over the grave. Figuring that this was planted in May, 1912, the time coincides with that shown by the records held by Prosecuting Attorney Gilmore. Held First Theories. Notwithstanding that Davis was dismissed last week because of a lack of evidence, the officials continued to hold a few theories caught up following his arrest and their efforts in working them out resulted in finding the body. Officials declare now that they can see no escape for the accused man. . First Arrest. Davis arrest about ten days ago was caused by John E. Bourne, of Middletown, a cousin of the dead man, following his receipt of an unsigned letter which stated that Bourne had been killed in Mississippi by Italians, who had returned to their native land. Davis received a letter about the same time from Hamilton, Ohio. It also was of the same tenor as the one the Middletown man had received. Later investigation developed the fact that Davis had been in Hamilton the very day both letters were mailed. Following his arrest Prosecutor Gilmore secured a sample of his writing, and it is said to be so near like that in the two letters that it is hard to tell any difference. Want Dead Man's Money. Bourne was a prosperous farmer and was known to always carry considerable money, and it is believed that his alleged murder was committed in order to secure his cash and gain possession of his personal property. Davis had been employed as a farmhand by Bourne, and he doubtless knew that the wallet carried was always large-sized. He could not have

In the foreground is the hi ge earth fill, divided only by the concrete spillway, that will hold in leas'i the waters of the east fork of the Whitewater. Extending along the length and breadth of the top of the fill is the driveway connecting the two shoies of the lake, lined by an artistic concrete railing and illuminated at nig U by cluster lights. It passes over the handsome and solid concrete bridge that spans the spillway. The spillway is the curved concrete structure over which the surplus water of the lake is flowing.

Ice cutting, amusements, boating, swimming, convention, and chautauqua privileges are looked upon as sources of income for the maintenance of the grounds. The dam is between seventeenth and eighteenth streets, or would be if they were extended to the north. A wide bank of earth thrown against the retaining walls will provide a wide approach to the driveway across the dam. One of the special inducements to the stockholders is the fact that they

hoped to gain possession of the 100acre farm. Held Sale of Chattels. Following the disappearance of Bourne, Davis continued to farm the place, but later held a public sale of chattel propery. He said he had been so authorized by Bourne, who, Davis claimed, had gone to Jackson, Miss., to purchase a sawmill. Davis claimed to have sent one-half the sale's proceeds to Bourne, but since the discovery of the body it appears that Bourne was dead when the sale was held. Thought He Would Return. Friends of Davis were of the opinion that Bourne would turn up' sooner or later, and were inclined to believe his protest of innocence. But when Davis left the place and it continued to lie unfarmed, with taxes overdue, more was thought of Bourne's absence. Da-

Don't forget, when you buy fence, that price is not cost. Price is only what you pay when you buy. Cost is all you have had to pay up to the time you must replace the old fence with new. The low cost to you of "Pittsburgh Perfect" Fence is because it is made of special Open Hearth wire, electrically

welded at every joint, which gives it greatest strength and longest life, and reduces maintenance cost to the lowest figure. In "Pittsburgh Perfect" you get more quality and genuine fence service for less money than any other fence affords. That's the point to remember.
