John M. Andrews was arrested at 1 10 Saturday afternoon by Constable Brown and Pinkerton Detective Myers, charged with the murder of Amann. Andrews pleaded not guilty and demanded a trial.
John M. Andrews a Warren businessman and former water company official was arrested for the murder of Emile Amann. Amann was found shot near the Water Company storage reservoir January 28 with multiple bullet wounds. Andrews was committed to jail for a Tuesday preliminary hearing with bail denied.
John M. Andrews, born in Pittsburg, rose from traveling regalia seller to superintendent of Galion Gas and Light Co. His wife died in Galion in 1897, and he later settled in Warren where he held civic prominence and leadership in local clubs and water utilities.
The body of Emile Amann was found Jan 28 near the Water Co reservoir on Tanner Hill after he left with John M. Andrews to inspect a valve. Three gunshot wounds caused instantaneous death. Andrews faced intense scrutiny as the investigation unfolded, with a coroner’s jury declining to name a shooter.
John M. Andrews was remanded to jail by Justice Perry for trial at the June Quarter Sessions on the charge of murdering Emile Amann on January 27. The preliminary hearing lasted two and a half hours with witnesses from the coroner's inquest. A new witness, William H Messenger, testified he saw Andrews coming down from the hillside and appeared to discuss the case with someone. The defense argued time details were uncertain and noted the revolver near Amann matched the weapon sold to W. H. Allen and later shown by him to Andrews. The magistrate indicated he would hold further proceedings.
Dr Wallace recalls acquaintance with Emile Amann for 25 years. Amann visited the Warren livery barn about 8 pm on January 27 1911 requesting a buggy rig for a short ride and to be charged to Amana or Andrews. The bay mare had a white hind foot. Harness was muddy, buggy with dirt.
