Coroner's jury rules murder in Ohio river death case
A six man coroner's jury in Greenup Kentucky found murder rather than suicide in the death of Sherwood Finley Smith 62 whose body was recovered from the Ohio river near Greenup. Sheriff Delbert McKenzie had suggested suicide and a bridge fall but the verdict rejected that theory. Smith's sister Mrs Winifred Switzer said he carried a large sum of money before vanishing after visiting her home on December 16. An undertaker testified the body was not drowned and though the abdomen and legs were frozen the river was not cold enough to freeze it.
