    3. Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, May 13, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 20 Miller Unearths Crime Coroner E. L. Miller went to South Fork Monday night and continued the inquest over the death of James Williams, the young man found dead a mile north of the coal town some days ago. After hearing the testimony of a number of witnesses the jury empanelled some time ago returned a verdict that Williams came to his death from causes unknown, but that everything pointed to foul play. It is very probably that the case will be taken up by the district attorney and county detective who will investigate the young man’s death fully. From the testimony of some of the witnesses it was learned that three unknown colored men had been seen walking up the railroad tracks the night Williams met death, in the direction in which his body was found. The young man had an engagement to call on a young lady that evening, but he did not appear at her house, nor was he seen by anyone after he left South Fork. He had on his person $18 when his friends left him but only a few cents were in his pockets when his body was discovered lying in the south fork of the Conemaugh river. _________________________________________________________________ Stay organized with simple drag and drop from Windows Live Hotmail. http://windowslive.com/Explore/hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_102008
