Murder Will Out
Prosecuting Attorney Bee Hopkins and Constable John Lockney returned
Monday from Detroit, Mich., with Raymond McCune, of Washington district,
who has been a fugitive under a murder indictment returned against him
in the Calhoun county circuit court in November, 1928.
At that time McCune was indicted for the murder of Enos A. Streets but
in the years that passed was never apprehended and brought to justice.
The alleged crime occurred before Prosecutor Hopkins was inducted into
office and he has since kept a weather ear open for McCune. A few
days ago word was received that he was in Detroit in which city the prosecutor
had no difficulty in locating and arresting him. He was brought back
to Parkersburg and lodged in the Wood county jail for safe keeping until
the April term of court when he will be tried.
It is alleged that McCune struck Streets over the head with a chair
at a store in Stinson and that the latter subsequently died from the effects
of his injuries. |
