Hello Mary,
15 Aug. 1846 Muncy( Pennsylvania) Luminary
Arrested on Suspicion of Murder - Eli WAGONER and John CARR, of Derry Twp., were arrested
on Monday last on suspicion of having some time in Sept. 1845, murdered a young girl,
named Margaret, dau. of Archibald CARR, of the same Twp., the body of whom is said to have
been found in the neighboring woods a few days since. Margaret was a cousin to both
prisoners, has been missing since Sept. last, having disappeared under the most singular
circumstances. She wa s believed to have gone to St. Louis. We refrain from detailing the
many rumors that are aflo at in regard to this strange affair, as we do not wish to
prejudice public opinion (Danville ( Pennsylvania) Democrat)
