St. Louis (MO) Republic, January 30, 1982, Part 1, p. 3. BETRAYED BY HIS WIFE Charles Morgan Held in Columbus, Indiana, for the Marsh Murder at Seymour Special to the Republic Columbus, Indiana, January 29-Charles Morgan was arrested here tonight for the murder of L. N. Marsh at Seymour New Year's morning. Morgan is a villainous-looking man, 50 years of age. His wife is 24. They moved here January 20, and lived in abject poverty in a single room. His wife says the morning of the murder he came home shortly before daylight all dribbled in mud, wet and his clothes torn into shreds, and for sixteen days he remained locked in the house, kept the window blinds down, and would allow no one to see him. Then he went to New Albany and then came home and had her ship their handful of goods under a fictitious name. He then secured work at the American Starch Works here and threatened to kill her if she ever gave him away or let the Seymour folks know of their whereabouts. Her 12-year-old son bears his mother out in her story. She also says Morgan shot five times at a man at Shoals two years ago and fled to avoid arrest. Marsh's house was burglarized New Year's morning about four o'clock, and a struggle ensued in which Marsh and the burglar fell on a barbwire fence. Morgan admitted to his wife that his clothes were torn by running into a barbwire fence, but to the officers he denies any guilt. Officers from Seymour will come here to identify Morgan.
