Falmouth Outlook Friday 12 Oct. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 19 Pg. 1 Col. 1 CHARGED WITH MURDER Corner's Jury Charges Mrs. Maggie Ginn with Poisoning Her Husband, Pearl Ginn, on 5 August Corner J.G. Galloway and County Attorney A.H. Barker held an inquest Monday, which consumed the whole day, on the death of Pearl Ginn, who died suddenly on August 5, 1923. at his home in this city. Mr. Ginn died on August 5th and was buried in Riverside cemetery. Several days later rumors were in circulation that Ginn had been poi soned, and on August 16th his body was exhumed, and his heart, stomach and liver were sent to Cincinnati for an analysis. W. Simonson, a well known expert chemist, made the examination and made a report to the Coroner to the effect that Ginn's stomach and liver contained strych nine. The County Attorney and Coroner impaneled a jury Monday and con ducted a thorough examination of the case. More than twenty five wit nesses were examined and all evidence was taken down by a stenographer. It was testified that Mrs. Maggie Ginn, husband of the deceased, had purchased a quantity of strychnine at the drug store of O.B. Gayle in this city on May 23, 1923. Mrs. Ginn admitted that she had purchased the strychnine, but stated that she bought it to poison rabbits which were destroying her garden which is on the outskirts of town. She emphatically denied that she administered the poison to her husband. A number of witnesses were introduced who testified that a man in the county had visited the Ginn home many times during the absence of her husband, and also of the passage of notes between them. Drs. Peddicord and Brown, who were present when the body was exhumed, say that Ginn apparently was in a bad physical condition. His liver weighed six pounds whereas the normal liver weighs only two and one-half pounds. His heart was also enlarged and his stomach was affected with what is commonly called and "hour-glass stomach." This case has created a good deal of comment ever since the death of Mr. Ginn. On Sunday, August 5th, he ate a hearty dinner, and went out into the yard and laid down in the shade. It was not long when he was seized with convulsions and only lived a short time. He was buried and later taken up, on account of the rumors in circulation. The Coroner's jury was composed of the following citizen: Judge M. S. Mills, J.M. Parker, C.N. Johnson, W.D. Mefford, A. Wagaman and F. T. Chipman. The Coroner's jury returned the following verdict; "We the jury, find from all evidence that Pearl Ginn died at his residence in Falmouth, KY., Aug. 5, 1923. We also find from the evidence that his death was caused by strychnine poisoning found in the stomach and liver by chemical analysis. We further find from the evidence that said poison, we believe, was administered by Maggie Ginn, wife of the deceased."

E. Gibson Daviss. at the Baptist Church, Saturday, Sept. 29th. All of Harrison County. The marriage of Miss Artie Bradford and Mr. Herbert Moore on last Friday evening was quite a surprise for friends of the young couple. The wedding was quietly solemnized at the home of the officiating minister, Rev. Clyde Darsie Falmouth Outlook Friday 12 Oct. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 19 Pg. 6 Col. 3 HISTORIC GRAVE B.E. Poage, of Brooksville, was in town Saturday and reports that he was in the vicinity of Ivor, Campbell county a few days ago, and that about a mile south of Ivor is the tomb of John Gregg, made of stone. An inscription on the slab over the tomb shows that "John Gregg was born in Ohio, October 15, 1717, died October 5, 1799." John Gregg was born 14 years before George Washington, Father of His Country, and passed away a little more than two months before Washington's death. Ohio must have been a wilderness, indeed, at the time of the birth of John Gregg, and Kentucky was not the center of civilization at the time of his death 124 years ago. -- Augusta Chronicle Falmouth Outlook Friday 12 Oct. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 19 Pg. 8 Col. 3 Kelat, KY News Items The three K's seem to have gained a permanent footing hereabouts, and meet semi-when it suits them, whether monthly, weekly or oftener. The Sunday School Council of Curry M.E. Church, South, met at the home of Mr. & Mrs. J. W. Brannock Jr. on last Friday night. After spe nding some time discussing Sunday school problems and laying claims for the Sunday school quarter, an hour or more was spent socially, refresh ments being served. Those present were: Rev. J. E. Roberts, Mrs. & Mrs. B. N. Taylor, Felix Taylor, Mr. & Mrs. M.C. Patrick, Raphael Patrick, Mr. & Mrs. W. H. Criswell, Milton and Geneva Criswell, Mrs. Mag Brannock, Mr. & Mrs. B.W. Brannock and Miss Gertrude Ecklar. The occasion was edify ing and a profitable one, socially and spiritually. The memorial service last Sunday at the Baptist church here so far exceeded our expectations that we ware at a loss to know what to say and how to say it. In the first place the day was ideal -- just right every way, neither cold nor hot. To help on, Bro. Roberts, of Benson, abbreviated his meeting somewhat, giving the people a better opportunity to attend the memorial services. We also wish to thank Bro. Roberts for the many courtesies extended the Masonic fraternity. After a few songs by everyone, Mrs. Kate Price, presiding at the organ, a quartette com posed of Messrs. Logan Maffett, Eureka Whitaker, Richard Ammerman and Mr. Henderson, the Piggly-Wiggly man, sang "Down [in] the Valley" beautifully and pathetically. Bro. Northcutt, pastor of the church here, made a short address, prefatory to what was to follow. Bro. Northcutt is a sterling good fellow and his address was not only good but well received. The Rev. Gibson Davis, of Cynthiana, was then introduced and began with a rapid fire of words, eloquent, logical and instructive. he simply held the crowded house spellbound for near an hour. Masonically speaking it was one of the best and most entertaining talks we have ever heard. Bro. Davis is small in stature but a giant in intellect. We don't see where he keeps it all -- but its there. He presented many new thoughts on masonry and the "boys" of Kelat Lodge, No. 809, F. & A.M., are awfully tickled, so to speak. The church was crowded to its fullest extent, many hanging on the doors and shutters. Yes the people came out, and were no doubt well repaid, as everything "went off" as cheerfully as marriage bells. Even the Sunrise Brass Band was so full of music that it had to hand it out. By the way, the Sunrise boys are rapidly coming to the front and are playing good music. ============================== Items of interest to: Doug Harper Biloxi, MS
