Sheriff Ponder Gets Letter;
No Records Found Of
Slaying Here
Were two people whose last names
were Poore, murdered in Madison
County in 1913?
This is the question which has
Sheriff E. Y. Ponder stumped at the
present. Sheriff Ponder told this
newspaper that he had found no rec
ord of any murder being committed
in this county in 1913 but that he
is still searching for records which
might bring light on a letter he re
cently received from H. W. McClel
land, Chief of Police of New Phila
delphia, Ohio.
After reading the letter, Sheriff
Ponder contacted Haywood County
officials and they, also, have no ree- '
ord of a murder there in 1913.
The following letter is published
so that any information which
might be supplied concerning the
murder might bemade known:

Dear Sir:
On January 10th, 1956, a Mrsv
John Wolf came to my office and"
reported her brother a Mr. McKin
ley L. Poore of Cleveland, Ohip
while he was in the hospital and
thinking that he may not live, sad"
a confession to her that he had kill--ed
two relatives of his in Mrdison
County in 1913. Their names) were
Poore. Mrs. Wolf states that an
has no "knowledge of these Borders
er any information as to their first
Waai2WM2ta
&,B&k orT thS-matter. .
U Wktaf.wi Mrs. Wolf, I got f
the feeling her brother may have
been a mental patient and that there'
is no basis for this letter, but I ea
not pass up this opportunity or fsiX
In mf job to pass this informatioa
on to you. In questioning Mrs. WeUi
the county- of Haywood came up sev
eral times, and request you cheek
these also.
Advise if you need any more in
formation on this matter and I will'
try and get it for you, although Mrs.
Wolf knows very little about tbi
matter except what she states above,
Hope we may be of service to you.
