Man Found Shot In Rush County Ravine Linked To Cincinnati Bootleg War
A deceased man, about 40, five feet six, 140 to 160 pounds, with black hair and wearing a gray suit, was found face down in a Rush County ravine. He had bought glasses from optician Kremsner without eye examination and bore a Shrine pin and Delta Theta Phi ring. Authorities connect the slaying to Cincinnati bootleg hostilities, likening it to the death of Joe Johnson last week, and believe the victim may have been killed Wednesday or Thursday and moved to the site. The case centers on the unidentified man who visited Kremsner’s shop weeks earlier for a pair of octagon glasses without a serial number and who matched the stranger’s description. The coroner suggests the shooting occurred in an automobile and the body was dumped in the ravine. The body was found by farmer William Taylor near U S Highway 52.
