No relation to me. But Thought that it might be of interest to someone. Was found in an old Bible that an aunt found in one of her homes.
THREE HELD FOR MURDER
Woman, Two Men Alleged to Have Beaten Eldery Man to Death.
(Special to the Indianapolis News)
GREENCASTLE, Ind. August 17.-
Samuel McCammack, his wife, and Alec Grimes, all residents of Jefferson Township, are being held here under a murder charge as a result of the death of John Brooks, in the Putnam County Hospital, Saturday night. McCammack and his wife and Grimes were arrestedSaturday by Sheriff Leslie Sears and his deputies, after it is alleged they had beaten Brooks unconscious. Following their arrest, a preliminary hearing was given them before Mayor Charles F. Zeis on a charge ofassult and battery with intent to murder. Following the death of Brooks, the charge was changed to murder.
McCammack was said to have beaten Brooks with a fence rail while his wife and Grimes held him. Brooks visited the McCammock home to collect money said to have been due to him for cutting wood for McCammack. The three defendents probably will be held in the county jail until the September term of court convenes, when their trial dates will be fixed by Judge James P. Hughes.
