Ozark, Missouri, October 23, 1882

A brutal murder was committed five miles northwest of here last Saturday evening. Jack Inman and Bill Wilson returned from Springfield by the way of the Faught School house, where a Greenback meeting was being held. They enquired for one Daniel Stevenson and asked him into their wagon. He consented, and this was the last seen of him as they drove away. His absence causing some uneasiness, a search was made Sunday morning. His coat was found first, then his hat, and this led to the discovery of his dead body in the brush. A family feud is at the bottom of the murder, as Inman is a brother-in-law of Stevenson. The murderers are at large and a strong posse of citizens is now being organized.
(It was later learned that Wilson and Inman beat Stevenson to death with wooden clubs)

The Tragedy At Ash Grove

At the public meeting in the place last Saturday, another row occurred between John, George, and Pascal Tucker and John C Sewell, which resulted in the death of the latter named party. It appears that in some time last April, the Tuckers got into a difficulty with a crippled cousin of Sewell's, when the latter took his cousin's part, but the Tuckers overpowered them and they retreated. In this fracas the Tuckers shot at them, but no one was hurt.
Last Saturday the Tuckers renewed the quarrel, but finding that Sewell had too many friends to back him, they went to the store of Thomas Leathers and armed themselves with pistol and catching Sewell alone on the outskirts of the crowd struck him over the eye with a club. Sewell jumped back and Tucker again made at him with his club, when Sewell drew his revolver and either fired, or attempted to fire, but something was wrong with his pistol...then the Tuckers rushed him firing five shots. Two of which took effect in Sewell's head, either of which would have killed him. He lived only about two hours. The Tuckers immediately fled and evaded capture.
John, George, and Pascal Tucker are aged respectively 38, 35, and 22 years, and are noted for getting into nearly all the rows that take place in Ash Grove. The two oldest are married and they live two and a half miles southwest of the Grove. Sewell was about 21 years old, had a good reputation and was well connected. He lived on the Whittenburg Prairie. In the inquest held, the jury found that John Calvin Sewell came to his death by a pistol shot, it being fired from the hand of Pascal Tucker.

Body Found In Trunk Of Victim's Car

Edwardsville, Ill., July 22---A murder warrant was issued here today for Bobby Davis Martin, 28, St. Louis taxi cab driver, in connection with the slaying of Bobby Carr, 24, a novelty salesman, whose body was found yesterday in the trunk of his car.
The car, a 1955 hardtop convertible, was left Tuesday night in the parking lot of a coal mine near Livingston, Ill., in the northeast corner of Madison County. Carr had been stabbed through the heart and shot 4 times with a pistol.

Seized In St. Louis

Martin was arrested today in a St. Louis apartment with two women, one of them Mrs. Bernice Violet Carr, 25, estranged wife of the victim. He told St. Louis police he is acquainted with Carr but denied knowing anything about the murder. He indicated he will resist extradition to Illinois.
Fred P Schuman, Madison County state's attorney, swore to the murder complaint before M.G. Schauerte, local justice of the peace, who issued the warrant. Schuman then went to St. Louis to assist in the investigation.
Carr, a 6 year veteran of the marine corps who won bronze and silver stars for service in Korea, had been living recently at the Winston hotel in St. Louis with his stepfather and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Reid, who own the hotel.
Carr's father is John H Carr, proprietor of the Coral Court on the outskirts of St. Louis which figured in the Greenlease kidnapping investigation as a stopping place for Carl Austin Hall, one of the Greenlease Kidnappers.
Police said Carr's mother, Mrs. Reid, reported that Martin made several calls to the Winston hotel Monday threatening Carr and her husband. She said Carr's wife had left him about 3 weeks ago and that Carr and Martin had exchanged sharp words over Mrs. Carr.
Martin was taken to the Winston hotel and exhibited before Mrs. Reid. " That's the man," she exclaimed. " That's the man who killed my son."
Carr is the third person to be killed and hidden in the trunk of his own car in the St. Louis area in the last month. The others were J. Fred Koenig, St. Louis hoodlum, found in East St. Louis June 22, and Floyd Oestricker, a truck driver, found July 16 in St. Louis County.
