The Sister of a Muncie Lady Murdered
Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Eliza J. Brady, residing at the corner of Gilbert street and the Ft. Wayne railroad, this city, received a message
from Waynesville, O., stating that her sister, Mrs. Gideon Carson, a resident of the latter named place, had been murdered and that the husband
of the murdered woman is under arrest, charged with having committed the deed. Mrs. Brady left this morning for Waynesville. The
message was sent in the care of Mr. C. M. Kimbrough who is well acquainted with the persons and states that they are very respectable people.
Mr. Carson, the suspected murderer, has filled a very good position in society, but is in the habit of occasionally getting on a spree.
