St. Louis (MO) Republic, June 7, 1896, p. 13. MAY HAVE BEEN MURDER Mrs. Cradens and Her Son Lost Their Lives in a Burning Building Corydon, Indiana, June 6-The house of George Cradens, a farmer living near Ramsey, Harrison County, Indiana, seven miles from here, was totally destroyed by fire, and Cradens' wife and a son, 13 years old, were burned to death. Mr. Cradens was absent from home at the time. Upon returning home at midnight, he discovered the bodies of his wife and child in the ruins. Everything indicates that a double murder has been committed, and the house set on fire to cover the traces. Much excitement exists at Ramsey on account of the tragedy. A telegram from that place says that the people have as yet made no charges against anyone, but they have strong suspicions.
