THEORY OF THE AUTHORITIES The theory of the authorities is that the murder was committed soon after they left Chester and that Jim Pierce came back to Chester and went to work at the Consumers' Ice Company without pay for the purpose of establishing an alibi if there was any trouble over the disappearance of Eyre. The finding of the L ___mus boat in the possession of Pierce, or the admission that he had it and was holding it for a reward will not go with the police on account of ironings and trimmings taken..... (obviously this is a misprint in the newspaper for the information following seems to come from two different sentences) Eyre gave all of his old clothing to the blood in the bottom of the boat and the experts say that is was human blood all point in a damaging way to the Pierce boys. There was a heart-rending scene at the door of the old lockup this morning early, when the father of the boys left them. He first spent some time with Amos who was on the second floor with tears in his eyes, a scene that brought tears to the eyes of some of the spectators. He said, "Goodbye, my boy, I will be with you again early in the morning." He then turned his attention to James who was in one of the lower cells and gave him an affectionate farewell. The police were kind and considerate and gave the bed there was in the station to Amos Pierce, who is sick. He will have the best of care while he is in the charge of the city and county. (FOURTH column starts) in this case are that after the hearing Friday, the two Pierces will be held for court without ____ for the murder of George B. Eyre. Joseph H. Hinkson, Esq., who will represent the Pierces will make a strong fight and will want bail. The chances are that if he does not get it he will prepare for a writ of habeous corpus and make an effort to get the court to _________ in the case. BELIEVE THEM INNOCENT The friends of the Pierce boys are firm in their belief that they are innocent of harming a hair on the head of George B. Eyre. They claim that Eyre gave all of his old clothing to the Pierces, he went gunning with them and was said to be worth several dollars a week to the boys alive. They break the line of circumstantial evidence presented by the Commonwealth by claiming that there was no motive for the crime. ___ morning it is said that a woman heavily veiled called at the office of the Chief of Police and from a small satchel she produced a watch which is said to be the one that was torn from the person of George Eyre at the time he was killed and that the part of the chain that was missing from the vest was with the watch. This could not be verified as there was no one who would confirm it. There is also another allegation. It is claimed that Jim has been estranged from his family over a woman in Wilmington and that it was this woman that Pierce and Eyre had a rupture about which resulted in the shooting. This would furnish a motive for the crime and would be the lacking link in the chain of evidence that even the friends of the Pierces would not be able to set aside by their unbelief. The truth or falsity of these charges will come out at the hearing or in the court. It is said still further that Samuel Kees, a driver for the Consumers' Ice Company, said in the presence of a number of witnesses that "If it was not for the fear of losing work in going to the court he could tell some things, not what he heard, but what he saw." He said he had seen something that would be of benefit to the police but that he did not want to get into trouble or get any other person into trouble. This information has been given to District Attorney Smith and he will have full protection of the law and will be paid for his loss of time.

Greetings: Trying to find information from the 1930 census for my great aunt Annie (Anna) Watson (nee Foster) in the West Chester, Chester Co., Pa. area. Her husband was Aaron C. Watson. I have a copy of her death certificate which lists her DOB as 12/15/1874 (could be 1876) and DOD as 10/4/1937. At the time of death her residence was West Chester and she was a widow. She was buried in Greenmount Cemetery in Chester Co., Pa. The person listed as "informant" on the death certificate was a Mary C. Reed of West Chester. I have no idea who this person is. A friend, neighbor, who knows. it may have no significance. Thanks, Jim ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

There is an auction on eBay for a bunch of funeral cards and letters from Chester County - from the late 1890s to maybe mid 1950s.

This to you comes from the estate of a Post Mortem collector who recently fell asleep, Richard Green of Chester County PA. His occupation as a grave excavator sparked his interest in cemetery collectables and he must have been gathering for years. He had plans to open up a Post Mortem Museum and he never got the chance. I will be listing photographs, Black Mourning portiere panels, face powder, embalming glass bottles, White glass urn, paper ephemera, Hearst carriage magazines, baby photography, books, death certificates, stationary, chantilly lace fan and other mortician/embalming coffin related items. Even velvet fabric silk velvet textile samples, catalog, coffin liner with pillow and more ~! He saved some of the most incredible things, so stay tuned if you collect Gothic, morbid or blood related funeral/cemetery ephemera, he even had accident scenes with nurse attendant etc!

Just a BiG Thank you Helen, for your generousity of offering look-ups!! I'm pretty sure I speak for all of us who are "out of town" --- and not readily able to visit PA for hands on research -- when I say your offer is priceless!!! Thanks again -- Terri in WA

_http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/lawrence/1908_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/lawrence/1908) 20th century history of New Castle and Lawrence County, Pennsylvania and representative citizens JOHN A DE NORMANDIE [p. 619] secretary of the New Castle Contracting Company, with office at No. 22 Dean Building, New Castle, is a well known business man of this city. He was born August 27, 1857, at Phoenixville, Chester County, Pennsylvania, but has been a resident of New Castle, more or less continuously, ever since he was eight years old. Mr. De Normandie gained his first business experience in the capacity of timekeeper for the Crescent Iron Company, of Wheeling, W. Va., where he remained for two years, and after his return to New Castle worked for a time as a grocery clerk and then embarked in business for himself, in which he continued until 1897, when he went out on the road for Dilworth Brothers, of Pittsburg. In February, 1901, he was appointed treasurer of Lawrence County, to fill out the unexpired term of L. C. Cochran, a period of one year and ten months, and subsequently was elected to the office, in which he served a full term. Mr. De Normandie then went into the contracting business with the New Castle Contracting Company, which does street paving, grading, sewer work and all kinds of cement work. In 1887, Mr. De Normandie was married to Miss Emma Hamilton, who is a daughter of the late Jessie L. Hamilton, formerly a lumber merchant here, who died in 1898. Mr. and Mrs. De Normandie have one child, Mary I. They are members of the First Presbyterian Church at New Castle. He takes a somewhat active part in local politics with a good citizen's desire for a reputable administration of the city's affairs. He is a Knight Templar Mason, and belongs also to the Knights of Pythias, the Maccabees, the Woodmen of the World, the Modern Woodmen and to the Elks club. ========================================================= Jacqueline Sleeper Russell Website: _http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SRCH&db=jacquelinesr&surn ame=A_ (http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SRCH&db=jacquelinesr&surname=A) ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
