I've decided to send through quite a few old newspaper clippings today, all provided by Shawn on our list. These cover several counties. Sandi Newark Daily Advocate Newark, Ohio June 14, 1896 Glasgow, Ky., June 13 -- Miss Eunice Keen of Burksville, sister of the sheriff of Cumberland county, committed suicide by throwing herself into the Cumberland River. ================= The Fort Wayne News Fort Wayne, Ind. Nov. 16, 1899 Cut His Head Off Horrible Crime Near Oil City, Ky. Yesterday Afternoon Glasgow, Ky., Nov. 16 -- Near Oil City yesterday afternoon, George Dove completely severed Albert James' head from his body with an ax. Dove is a half breed Indiana and married a daughter of Joe Pace. For some time past, James had bee boarding with Dove and, the latter had charged, had become too friendly with Dove's wife. Yesterday morning Dove went to the spring near his home for a bucket of water and upon his return, he says, he found James embracing his wife. James had a pistol in his hand, however, and Dove was afraid to resent (?) his wrong then. They all ate breakfast together as if no trouble had occurred and after breakfast both men went to their usual work. At dinner time Dove returned and saw his wife and James together and she was putting on a pair of new shoes James had bought her. While witnessing this scene Dove ground his ax to a sharp edge. After the three had finished dinner James started out of the door to go to work again and Dove followed him with the ax in his hand. There were three or four steps leading down and as James stepped to the ground Dove, who was above him, raised his ax and brought it down with terrific force across the back of James' neck, cutting his head from his body with one blow. Dove then started for town to give himself up. The news of the tragedy had been telephoned here, however, and a deputy sheriff started at once for the scene. He met Dove on the road and brought him in and placed him in jail. ====================== The Decatur Daily Review Decatur, Illinois May 19, 1887 Killed at Court Louisville, Ky., May 19 -- In a room over the court-house at Glasgow, Ky., Monday, William Scott was shot and killed by Ray Rutledge, the body rolling down stairs and into the court-room, where Judge Carr was on the bench at the time. The victim was to be tried for shooting an eye out of Bill Slinker a year ago. The latter and Rutledge were arrested. ===================== Newark Daily Advocate Newark, Ohio Jan. 3, 1896 Met at 1:30; Wed at 1:45 A marriage, romantic in the extreme, was solemnized in the office of the county clerk at Glasgow, Ky., the other afternoon. The groom and bride had never so much as heard of the other's existence until that day, and met for the first time when they were brought face to face in the county clerk's office and introduced by a mutual friend prepatory to the application for a license. The groom is John Underwood, a prosperous farmer near Temple Hill and 65 years old. The bride was Mrs. Martha J. Turner, a widow 24 years old, who came from South Carolina about two months ago. The mutual friend pictured to the groom the virtues and excellences of the young widow, and to her he recited the sterling worth and good qualities of the farmer. Commissioned by the latter with a proposition of marriage, he returned with an acceptance from the widow. They set eyes upon each other at 1:30 o'clock and at 1:45 o'clock a local minister had pronounced them husband and wife. ============================== Fort Wayne (ind) News Jan. 11, 1898 Foolish Lover Glasgow, Ky., Jan. 11 -- Mamie Buckley, aged 22, who lived at Temple Hill, committed suicide by taking strychnine last evening. She prepared the poison in a glass of water. Then she went into the parlor, where Joseph Sims, who had been paying her attention, was sitting and, without saying anything, drank the contents of the glass and fell to the floor writhing in agony. Death followed at once. Mr. Sims is about 34 years old and is a constable in Temple Hill. He and Miss Buckley had been sweethearts for some time, but had had a falling out recently, and this was his first visit for some time. ========================== The Saturday Herald Decatur, Illinois Aug. 5, 1882 Ray???soers Lynched Glasgow, Ky., Aug. 3 -- Bish Emberton and Dick Speakman, both white, visited the house of Mr. Garrett, who lives about a mile from Tompkinsville, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th ult., and finding Mrs. Garrett in the house with none but her infant child proceeded to outrage her person repeatedly, beating and bruising her badly. The villians left their victim half dead from the treatment she had received. She hurried as best she could to the residence of her father-in-law, half a mile distant, where she gave the alarm. Her husband was absent in Tennessee, on business, but his father and several neighbors soon formed for pursuit and about daybreak on the morning following the outrage, succeeded in caputuring the fiends. They were readily identified by Mrs. Garrett and after the examining trial, went ot jail in default of bail. Public sentiment was so strong against Emberton and Speakman that it was thought best ot remove them to Glasgow. When about fifteen miles from this city the guard having the prisoners in charge were overtaken by a large force, who compelled the surrender of the two men and they were at once taken to a convenient tree and hanged. Their victim is a lady of eminent respectability, well connected, and her friends could ill leave such an outrage pass without making sure the perpetrators would be made to suffer for it. ======================== The Lake County Times Hammond, Indiana Nov. 3, 1906 Indianapolis, Nov. 3 -- After appealing in vain for help to Sheriffs J.E. Bryant and John G. Jones of Monroe and Cumberland counties, Ky., respectively, Ben Lee and George Rankin, the ex-Indianapolis patrolmen, visited the Coe ridge in Kentucky which shelters Jesse Coe, the murderer of Patrolman Charles J. Russell, and lay in watch until daybreak. They crept close to the Coe home, but because of the large number of people in the houses the former patrolmen would not attempt the capture alone. Officials Not Very Zealous Unable to induce the sheriffs to form a posse and go after the fugitive, and unable to find any one else willing to assist them, Lee and Rankins visited the hills to get what information they could before giving up the search. The men have been ignored by the Indianapolis police department, which seems reluctant to accept any information furnished by them. Attorney W. E. Henderson, who suggested to Chief Metzger that he send men to Kentucky and verify the statements of Lee and Rankins, and take some action to capture Coe, did not receive any satisfaction. And Kentucky Remains Inactive The chief's excuse was that he did not have the money to conduct such an investigation, and that it was the duty of the Kentucky authorities, who knew the country, to investigate and effect Coe's capture. When asked if he had taken any steps in the Coe investigation Chief Metzger said he had opened up a correspondence with the authorities near the Coe hills, to get complete and tangible information. He said correspondence was a more satisfactory method than the long-distances telephone to do the work. Seems to Have "Cold Feet" About two weeks ago the Indianapolis police department was notified by Sherifff J. E. Bryant, of Tompkinsville, Ky., that Coe was there, but aside from giving advice to the sheriff as to the best method of catching the fugitive, nothing has been done. Bryant and his deputies seem to have "cold feet," as they have not made a move to catch the murder. ========================== The Lima News Lima, Ohio Dec. 21, 1912 Woman and Son Get Life Sentence Tompkinsville, Ky. Dec 21 -- Life imprisonment in the penitentiary was the penalty fixed for Mrs. Martha Crews and her son, Wm. Knuckles, who was tried for the murder of Mrs. Crews' husband, Javin Crews, it being charged that the son assassinated Crews at his mother's request. Six years ago Mrs. Crews and another son, Clarence, were charged with the murder of her first husband by beating him over the head, but were acquitted on a self defense plea. ===============================
