Front Page MURDER! A Shocking Sunday Night Crime. Christian Ternes, Aged 74, is Met by Charles Martin, Aged 21, and Beaten and Kicked to Death. THE CRIME A MOST ATROCIOUS AND COLD-BLOODED ONE. Arrest of the Murderer Shortly Afterward-What He Said to a Reporter. Coroner Carrier to Make A Thorough Investigation of the Case. Great Excitement in the Western Part of the City Over the Crime. The newspaper article is fairly long (and lurid)-I think the reporter was paid by the word. If you live in Michigan, you can order the newspaper from the State Library of Michigan through your local library. I have the same parents. Teresa Reuter is my great great grandmother Mary Catherine's sister. Do you live in Michigan?
