MURDER IS SUSPECTED BY FRIENDS OF CROWE

They Believe He Was Slain and His Body Placed On Railroad Track

(Special to The Herald)

CARLISLE, Ky., June 19.--The funeral of William Crowe, who was supposed to have been killed by a train early Monday morning, was held today. Funeral services were held at St. John's Catholic church in this city and burial was in the Carlisle cemetery. Some of Crowe's friends are inclined to doubt his being killed by a train. They think that he met with foul play, and that his body was placed upon the track to avoid suspicion.

Crowe had been working on the railroad and had collected his month's pay the day before he was killed. When his body was found only $1.50 was found in his clothes. A careful investigation will be made.
