Verdict in Crouch murder inquest shocks Derxorr crowd
Jan 9 inquest at Derxorr near Jackson lasted a day and yielded a verdict that both victims died at the hands of unknown persons. No light was shed on the mystery. The negro boy and the hired woman were discharged from custody. Meanwhile reports from Southern Illinois note unusually cold weather damaging peach orchards and possibly Gulf State orange crops. A Milwaukeean, John Halpin, reportedly inherited over 500000 from an Cincinnati uncle, though official notification was not yet received. He is twenty, employed at Callahan's Dilliard hall, with a brother and two sisters also receiving large legacies.
