Tramp Aid Could Prove Alibi For Murder Suspect
A local tale reports two tramps aiding a wagon driver after a fall near Barton road in January 1885. The injured butcher, Sam Carter of Uniontown, recalls the incident and says he paid the pair and could verify the date. The suspect, T. B. Kelly, jailed for a policeman’s murder in Wheeling, hopes to use the tale to prove he was miles away at the time.
