Burial was in the village .cemetery.- The body arrived in 'Camflen from Columbus Sunday evening and -was taken in charge by Undertaker, .Girton. ,

Davis was serving a life sentence

for the jaurder of Benjamin Franklin Bourne, aged recluse, whose dead body

was found buried on his farm in the Backbone neighborhood, west of Camden, in the early summer of 1913, where it had reposed a year or longer, a crop of torn having been grown in the field and over the grave containing the body. Murder Theory When exhumed, the body bore evidence that the aged man had been struck upon the head with an ax, killed and buried. It was presumed he was killed while he lay asleep upon the floor, as was his custom, in his shabbily furnished home, where Davis had been employed as a hand. The body was fully clothed when .found in the grave. ' After a year's absence, during which time Davis remained on the Bourne farm, whisperings concerning the aged man's whereabouts were heard . Davis claimed Bourne was in the south and that he had received letters from him, but the letters could not be produced. About this time relatives of Bourne received letters mailed in Hamilton, O.

When the investigation had been IPrtten under way, a young farmer living near Camden told that he remembered in the spring of 1912 seeing someone., digging , in a , field . on the Bourne farm as he was dfiving alon the road.
