Man Charged in 1924 Mine Bomb Killings
William H. Turner, 39, former mine foreman from McCarr, Kentucky, arrived on a liner from Germany and was charged as a fugitive from justice for murder tied to a mine explosion that killed two miners. Relatives identified one victim as Turner. Turner admitted fleeing to Europe to feign death and cited fatigue over starting a new life. He says relatives prompted his pretense and that insurance payouts totaled 85 000 dollars to beneficiaries. He returned to the United States penniless and planned to surrender if not arrested at the pier.
