Queer discovery in Fifth ward hints at woman’s murder
A partial and imperfect investigation in the Fifth ward uncovers a woman's body buried under a large flagstone on Chapline Hill. Authorities describe a head and bones found near the stone with a strong odor, with further digging planned for today. A separate report recounts two young men attempting to lure a thirteen year old girl named Grace Turner in Moundsville, taking her along desolate routes before abandoning her and seeking warrants.
