Police follow cold trail seeking clues to murder

PETOSKEY, Mich. (UPI)— The note tacked to the door of the lavish summer cottage was handwritten. It said Richard C. Robison, his wife and four children would not return until July 7 or 8. It was put there before the Robisons, on a summer long vacation, had planned to leave for Kentucky and then Florida. Whether it was put up by a member of the Robison family on June 24—the last day they were seen alive—is what authorities are trying to determine. For nearly one month, their bullet-torn bodies lay inside the five-room stone and log cottage. No one missed them until the odor of their decomposing bodies drew a complaint from the nearest neighbor, more than one-half mile away. A summerlong vacation for Robison, a wealthy advertising executive, commercial artist and magazine publisher in the Detroit area, was not unusual. From their summer cottage along an almost deserted stretch of the Lake Michigan shore some 30 miles north of this resort community, the Robisons on June 23 told neighbors they were going to fly to Kentucky on business and then to Florida. The caretaker who built the cottage 12 years ago investigated Monday, found several bullet holes in windows, saw a body lying on the living room floor and called police.

The bodies of Robison, 42; his wife Shirley, 40; their sons, Richard, 19; Gary, 17; and Randy, 12; and their daughter, Susan, 8, were found sprawled in different rooms of the cottage. Police said they had been shot in the living room and then dragged to other rooms. Emmet County Prosecutor W. Richard Smith said the deaths were “an act of premeditated murder by a person or persons unknown caused by gunshot wounds.” There was no sign of forced

entry into the cottage, according to Clifford Fosmore, undersheriff of Emmet County. The bodies were fully clothed and several hundred dollars worth of cameras packed for the upcoming trip were in plain view. But there was no money in Robison’s wallet, found in his pants pocket. And officials said no motive had been determined. State and local police combed the secluded area Tuesday, looking for clues in what one officer termed a “cold trail.”

Oil leak believed cause

of power failure

WASHINGTON, Ind. (UPI)— The municipal power plant in this city of 12,000 population broke down Tuesday evening, blacking out the entire community throughout the night and well into today. A transformer which operated motors on pumps and boilers in the plant blew out at 5:40 p.m. EST, presumably because of an oil leak. Electrical service was disrupted through, out the city except for a few places which had their own generators. Airconditioners went off in hot summer weather with temperatures near 90. Temporary repairs were made to one of two boilers but power was restored this morn-

ing to only one small section of the city. Crews were working on the other boiler and hoped to get power flowing again by noon. Gas stations were unable to pump fuel into cars, except for one enterprising station manager who called for a tank truck and served customers direct from the truck. Other motorists drove to Plainville, Montgomery and Petersburg, and other nearby communities to fill up their tanks. Supermarkets hauled meats and other perishables to the Armour & Co. poultry process, ing plant where refrigeration service was avilable because the factory is supplied with power by Public Service Indi-

ana.

Housewives with electric stoves prepared their meals on camp stoves and charcoal grills. The city’s water supply was not affected. The water plant has its own diesel power sys-

tem.

Daviess County Hospital also was unaffected. It shifted to an auxiliary power unit when the city supply went off. Indiana Bell also kept telephone service going with an auxiliary unit.

Robert V. Hinshaw, Regional Director of Small Business Administration in I n d i a n a, announces that 76 counties in Indiana including Putnam County, have been declared eligible for Eci Economy Injury Disaster Loans. The declaration was made because farmers generally have not recovered sufficiently f r o m severe crop losses in 1967 due to various adverse weather conditions. In addition, excessive rainfall during the spring planting season caused substantial damage to this year’s crops. Any small businessman in these counties is eligible for a loan if he can demonstrate he has suffered substantial economic injury because of the disaster. Loans may be made at a three per cent interest rate and with a maximum maturity of 20 years if needed. Hinshaw said the loan may be used for working capital to stock normal inventories and to pay financial obligations, except bank loans, which the borrower would have been able to meet had he not lost income because of the disaster. A businessman may apply for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan at the Indianapolis SBA Regional Office, 36 South Penn-, sylvania Street. He should provide a statement of the extent to which his business has been injured by the disaster. For purposes of comparison, operating and financial statements for the past two years will also be required. In addition to Putnam County, the other counties declared eligible for emergency loans inelude: Adams, Allen, Bartholomew, Benton, Blackford, Boone, Brown, Carroll, Cass, Clay,

Clinton, Daviess, Decatur, DeKalb, Delaware, Dubois, Elkhart, Fayette, Fountain, Fulton, Gibson, Grant, Greene, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Henry, Howard, Huntington, Jasper,Jay, Jennings, Johnson, Knox, Koscuisko, LaGrange, Lake, LaPorte, Madison, Marion, Marshall, Miami, Monroe, Mont-

Fire destroys Wabash trestle

MOUNT VERNON, Ind. (UPI) — Fire destroyed about half of an 800-foot trestle over the Wabash River west of here Tuesday night on the main line between Evansville and St. Louis of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. The blaze was believed to have started when driftwood lodged against the pilings of the trestle caught fire and the glames ignited wood soaked in a creosote preservative. The fire forced the railroad to reroute trains through Mount Carmel, 111. The blaze was discovered

about 6:30 p.m. on a span on the Illinois side of the stream. Firemen from Carmi and Enfield, 111., and oilfield workers helped bring the blaze under control about two and one-half hours later, but about half the length of the trestle was destroyed. The trestle was located in a hard-to-reach spot and firemen had to cross plowed fields to get to the scene.
