Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - November 26, 1904 TWO MEN MURDERED IN LOWER END OF COUNTY Henry HENDERSON and George HENDERSON, negroes and brothers, were shot and killed shortly before midnight Wednesday night at Bethayres, this county. The murderer was another negro by the name of Frank SAYLOR. After shooting the brothers, SAYLOR took to the woods and was chased several miles by Cornelius WHITE and Constable BLAKE, but he finally succeeded in eluding them. It is said that SAYLOR was jealous of the attention paid by Henry HENDERSON to Miss Margaret SCOTT, of Fox Chase. Late Wednesday night HENDERSON and Miss SCOTT were walking along the road when they met SAYLOR, who had been standing in a clump of bushes along the highway. He called HENDERSON away from the woman, telling him he wished to speak to him. As HENDERSON advanced SAYLOR pointed a revolver and fired two shots in succession. After HENDERSON had fallen to the ground two more shots were fired by SAYLOR, at the prostrate man. Miss SCOTT's screams attracted several men and HENDERSON was carried to the home of Thomas CONNELL, not far from where the shooting occurred, and Dr. David G. ???vey, of Bethayres, was summoned. He could not save the man's life, who expired a few minutes after the arrival of the physician. When George HENDERSON was told of what had happened to his brother he bolted out with the intention of trying to capture the murderer. He met SAYLOR and the latter without saying a word fired four bullets into his body, killing him instantly. The remains of the two brothers were taken in charge by the undertaker at Jenkintown. The second shooting occurred about ??? fourths of a mile from the scene of the first murder. Through the efforts of District Attorney HENDRICKS the County Commissioner decided to offer a reward of $500 for the capture of SAYLOR. A description of the negro has been sent all over the county. He wore a gray suit and dark ???eater. SAYLOR weights about 170 pounds and is very black. BUTCHER FINDS TRAMP IN A REFRIGERATOR The butchers in the employ of A.G. KRIEBEL, Hereford, had a surprise on Saturday morning at about five o'clock which they will not soon forget. In order to get out on the road early with their teams they went to the butcher house and opened the refrigerator doors so that they could fill their wagon with meats. When the doors were swung open, an excited tramp issued therefrom. His form was stiff and numb with cold. Mumbling a few lame words of excuse, he dropped a grain bag containing fifty pounds of choice meat and, with a proper regard for the fighting abilities of the Berks county butchers, bolted for the door, gained the street and covered the next mile in about four minutes, all before the men had recovered from their surprise and thought of catching him. The slaughter house is always opened at 4 o'clock on Saturday morning, the men then going for breakfast before loading the wagons. The tramp had evidently slipped in with the hope that he could get out before any one came to the refrigerating room. ENGAGING SNAP SHOTS Mrs. Dr. W.H.
