Chief disagrees with coroner over Witt murder verdict
Massillon police chief E M Ertle challenged coroner TL CG McQuate's conclusion that Edward Witt of Riverside, a Central Steel Co. employee and semi pro baseball player, was murdered. Witt's body was found near the Baltimore and Ohio tracks after two stab wounds were noted, with the neck wound severing an artery. Ertle suspects an accidental death aboard a freight train, citing lack of blood pooling and unexplained $100 missing, while acknowledging Witt's frequent freight train rides. The case centers on whether the death was murder or accident and why the body was placed on the track.
