Found Dead in the Woods
Mr Samuel P Chew, bookkeeper for J Edward Bird & Co, dry goods merchants, Baltimore, was found dead in the woods at Owensville, this county, under circumstances that point to the theory of suicide. Mr Chew, on Saturday morning about 8 o'clock, was seen sitting on a tree stump by a colored man in the woods belonging to Mr John H Hopkins, near Owensville. He inquired of the colored man where Mr Hopkins was, and was told that Mr Hopkins was at home in Owensville. Shortly after the interview the wife of the colored man heard the report of a gun. In the afternoon , when the colored man, who was returning home, passed the spot where he saw Mr Chew in the morning, he saw a ghastly spectacle. Mr Chew was lying on a patch of grass, with his gun under him. The muzzle of the gun had been apparently placed in his mouth and then discharged. A part of the head was entirely torn away. The brain was completely scattered about. The body was taken to Owensville and placed in a buildin!
g formerly used by the Rev R G Chaney as the West River Academy. A jury of inquest, which investigated the case, rendered a verdict that Mr Chew came to cause his own death by a gun in his own hands. Mr Chew was about 45 years old and a bachelor. He boarded at the Alton Hotel, Read and Cathedral Streets. He had been in the employ of Messrs Bird for at least 15 years. He had been in ill health for some time, and was about finishing up a month's holiday. He was born near the place where he died. During his holiday Mr Chew had been stopping at the residence of his sister, Miss Mary L Chew.
