Still Working on Hanna Farm Murder Probe and Death at Union Depot
Detectives Page and Thornton said they have found no crew yet and will continue searching. A man missing on the Hanna farm may not match the body found near the location, with clothes reported missing suggesting a nearby resident. The theory remains the crime occurred nearby in a sudden quarrel rather than a planned murder. John Gottshall, familiar at Union depot, died Monday afternoon beside the track at the train shed during Vandalia 20’s approach. He was a Pennsylvanian car inspector for 30 years, leaves a widow and two grown children, and had prepared for death including funeral arrangements.
