PAGE THREE COMPANION HELD: IN AUTO MYSTERY Smashing on to Lemberg

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, MONDAY, JULY 16, 1917

f JOHNSTOWN, Pa., July 16. To clear the mystery surrounding the shooting yesterday on a country road near Carrolltown, this county, of Edward Humphries, prominent coal operator, Mrs. Carrie Humphries, - his wife and fifteen-year-old Bon, Edward, all members of an automobile party, was the task taken -up today by District Attorney Wiemer and other county authorities. The greatest factor in the murder ' mystery, authorities said today, is George K. Tompkins, Jr., of Philadelphia, the fourth member of the auto party, who is being held at the county jail at Ebensburg at the request of cororner's Jury. Tompkins and HumI,hries were associated together in a coal company formed about six weeks ago. The three members of the Humphries family were held up and shot by tUree masked highwaymen, according to the story told to Sheriff Mulhollen yesterday by Tompkins. During his explanation of the triple murder, posees scoured the country near the scene of the shooting for hours yesterday, but gave up the search for the alleged bandits when it was announced by Sheriff Mulhollen that statements made by Tompkins were at variance with facts brought out at the inquest held by Coroner C. A. Fitzgerald. According to the story told by Tompkins, the highwaymen surprised the party while a punctured tire was being repaired and that the shots which caused the deaths of the Humphries were II red at a distance of 70 feet in front of the automobile. After examining the bodies, Coroner Fitzgerald . announced the bullets were fired at close range, powder burns being found on two of the bodies, and that shots were fired from behind. Another question to be put to Tompkins was in regard to several- cuts on his head and chest which, according to the coroner were caused by a blunt Instrument. Tompkins in his statement to the sheriff said he escaped death at the hands of the bandits by crouching in the tonneau of the automobile and later dropping to the ground as if shot. -

Finding a new dwelling place used to be like looking for a needle in a hay stack and as fatigueing as a six day bike race. The only means we had was to trudge the streets seeking "To Let" signs--a very discouraging and provoking method indeed fine business for the chiropodist, who doctored pur sore feet after a day at it but heart-breaking and souring to the home-seeker . , , f But Oh! How. times have changed ! No longer are we obliged to look for homes. They look for us. Where? In the "For Rent" Columns of the Palladium. . .
