Judge murdered in Rhode Island near summer home
Justice William Knowles of the eighth district court was shot dead near his Lake Moswansfeut bungalow in North Scituate. A man hidden in bushes fired three times as Knowles left for Providence, with two wounds in the back and one in the jaw. Police seek a former hunting companion amid threats Knowles had received. The 48 year old, unmarried jurist had feared for his life and helped organize a fish and game law enforcement group. Born in Hockingport Ohio, he moved to the area after 1903 and was elected to the bench in 1903.
