JAMES FOX MURDERED, —— A DOUBLE TRAGEDY AT CLEVELAND, OH!0. ——————— Two Men Chopped to Death on Christmas Evening, by the Use of a Hatehot—Jas Fox, Formerly of Bellafonte Vietim ———— On Monday morning Dec. 26, Joseph Fox, of this place, received a telegram from Cleveland, Ohio, stating that his youngest brother, James Fox, living in that city, had been fatally injured and could not recover. Mr. Fox took the next train for that city and found his brother in a dying condition from wounds inflicted by a hatchet. He lingered but a short time. The remains were brought to Bellefonte on Thurs- day and the interment occurred on Sat- urday morning in the Catholic cemetery. James Fox was an axe polisher and had worked at his trade in a factory at Cleveland for several years. He board- ed at the home of Mr. and Mrs Theo- dore Blakesley. On Christmas evening while Mr. Fox was in his room, some- one called at the house, was met at the door by Mr. Blakesley, who admitted him and then he passed up stairs to Mr. Fox's room. Mr. Blakesley did not mention to his wife who the man was that entered, A noise was heard up stairs soon after and Mr. Blakesley went up to see what was wrong. A few moments later the noise of what seemed to be a scuffle in- duced Mrs, Blakesley to start to go up stairs also to see what was going on. When she stepped into the hallway she met a man coming down and of whom she inquired the cause of the disturb ance. The man was paleand in a hurry but said * for yourself.” He then pushed by her and tried to open the front door, finding locked he quickly made his exit through side | door.

Moran worked in the with Mr. Fox and it was known he frequently borrowed money from Mr. Fox. The hatchet found the room was one that had been used in the shop where both worked. The result of the hearing wus not learned but ig {f both same factory in appears as though the murderer of men had been caught.
