Uncertain Salem church arson case takes unexpected turn
In Iowa, the Salem church arson case against Lem Davis was dismissed for insufficient evidence after a three year investigation by Farmers Mutual Insurance Co. detectives. The true bill against Evan Paris remains, with trial delayed, amid county tensions and juror eligibility issues from local church and insurance communities. Grinnell also reports William Robinson's flying machine trial flight reaching 4,000 feet and a 21 mile flight to Tama, with exhibition at the old settlers reunion before Grinnell fair.
