Syracuse (NY) Daily Courier and Union, June 15, 1865, p. 3. William Allen, a returned soldier, lately knocked down his brother, Joseph Allen, of Salem, Indiana, with some brass knuckles and then cut him with a knife so that he died. The murdered man was a manufacturer and had been so much annoyed by his brother visiting his factory and bothering his workmen that he felt obliged to forbid his coming there. This so enraged the fellow that he declared he would have vengeance.
