Former Owa Man Sought in Slain Schoolgirl Case
Kingston New Jersey September 16 State troops and Middlesex County officers searched for a discharged farm hand Selhaver 24 formerly of Spencer Jr suspected in the murder of 11 year old Sarah Elizabeth Johnson whose body lay under bushes at St James village on Lake Carnegie. The girl who disappeared in August was shot in the head and laid out on a Philadelphia newspaper. Selhaver had been discharged for paying too much attention to the girl and was last known to be near Kingston. Authorities say the father of the girl described Selhaver as a war veteran and nervous, with letters from his mother indicating he had not been home for two years. Sheriff Lidman asked for vigilance as Selhaver might head toward his mother in Indiana or Princeton New Jersey.
