I have some microfilm-copied pages in my collections, each showing a
particular obituary (usually) that's of interest to me. Well, other bits
have come along for the permanent ride, and I thought I'd offer those up
for reference here on Rootsweb. In this case, this day, this posting,
all news bits.

HOMICIDE VERDICT IN AUTO KILLING; DRIVER SPED AWAY
-Daniel Chapin, 68, Fatally Injured by Eastbound Roadster in Front of
3009 Park Avenue.-
The arrest of a young man, sought as the fugitive driver who killed
Daniel Chapin, 68-year-old laborer, in front of 3009 Park avenue last
night, was ordered this morning after police had traced the license
number to a young woman to whom he had been attentive.
A verdict of homicide, naming Robert Brand, 20 years old, 2764 La Salle
street, as the driver of the car, was returned today by a Coroner's jury,
after it had heard the testimony of Miss Truela Johnson of Sherman, Mo.,
identified as the owner of the car, and of witnesses to the accident.
Chapin, who lived at 3113 St. Vincent avenue, was struck by an automobile
eastbound in Park avenue, and was pronounced dead at City Hospital of a
fractured skull. Two witnesses, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Lewis, 3008
Caroline street, gave police the license number of the car which was
traced to Miss Johnson.
Miss Johnson testified she had let Brand have the use of her car for the
last two weeks while she has been visiting relatives in the city. For
the last three days, she said, she had been asking him to [drive] her to
her home at Sherman but he had refused. At 6 o'clock last night she said
he again refused to drive her home and drove away in her car. At 8
o'clock she said he reappeared and drove her home. On their ride to
Sherman, she testified, he mentioned vaguely that he "thought he had hit
somebody," but would give her no further details.
He left her at her home last night, she said, and started back to St.
Louis in the machine. She said she did not know his whereabouts.
