CRAWFORD, James - Putnam

Clinton, Falls, Ind Oct 21 – Last night a tramp called for supper at the farm house of James Crawford, an aged man living alone with his wife near here. While she was preparing it he struck her down with a club. At the same time his companion knocked Mr. Crawford down in the same way when they stole $15 and left the aged people dead, as they supposed. Mr. Crawford recovered consciouisness, however, and gave the alarm. The latest from both victims is that they will die. - kbz
