Seavers Denies Dead Man as Half-Brother Identity
Deputy county court clerk Tat H Seavers reiterated his denial that the murdered man found near Rogersville on January 6 1933 was his half brother. Sheriff Jim Shanks reported initial identification by Pat Seavers, but Seavers says resemblance is not proof. The case, last revived by a traveling salesman tie to J C Seavers, remains unresolved with the body found nude except for underwear, ring on left hand, and a torn throat. The ring bears a reversed inscription and a ruby, while clothing was mussed and the body lay about three days near Highway 11 W. 190 characters
