Block, Inhuman Crime Occurred \ Athens has not been 50 surprised or shocked in a long lime as it was this morning when the story of a most inhuman murder was reported which was enacted at the Bridge works last night. C. Eugene Messinger, a married man, 34 years old, employed as night fireman, was found about one o'clock in the rivet shops, 3 short distance from the eastern entrance, lying across the car track dead, by Night Watchman N, J. Kaaresboro. Messenger came to Athens from Spencer about three years ago, and resided with his family at 205 Sats terlee street. He was a quiet, in- dustrious man and esteemed highly by his employers, for whom he had worked a little over three years. His duty was wholly night ser- vice and was to care for and ine spect the boilers and to see that they were always in order for work. He was in the office last night at 12 o'clock with the night watch- man, N. J. Knaresboro, who stated that he went from the office say ing that it was time for him to go supper, Mr, Knaresboro did not see him again until he made his rounds at a little after 1 o'clock when he found him dead as above stated. Mr. Messenger's home was just back of the works and after he had got his supper he re- turned to the shops by a back pathway leading over the cinders to the eastern eatrance of the shops. The boiler and engine rooms project’ eastward in an L from the rivet shop and he had evidently inspected the boilers and entered the rivet shop where his murderer lay in wait for him and performed the dastardly deed. When found he laid on his face and as Mr, Knaresboro attempted to lift him up he found his clothes saturated with blood. George Peck, shop foreman, was aroused and he telephoned to Dr, Stevens and then went for Superintendent George E. Davis. They found his lantern near his head with the light extinguished, and it had been placed there with considerable force as the indenture in the ground showeJ. They found six stabs in his body, two in his back which had struck the collar bone one in the left side which went in and came out from front to back, his right arm near the shoul- der was nearly severed from his body and would have prodaced death in a short time. But the fatal stab was from the front close to the breast bone between the fourth and fith ribs and reaching inward six inches penetrating the heart. This must have produced instant death. From the nature of the wound it is evident thatthe murderer came up from behind and bent his head and body back- ward as the cut entered his coat low down and his inaer clothing higher up. Undertakers Rogers & Miller took possession of the body and emoved it to their rooms, pending a coroner’s inquest, The murdered man leaves a wife and four children, a daughter 16, a son 12 years, a girl 2 years old, and a baby 2 months old. He was a i into the room where she was, car- ryng a lantern, and that this was about 12:30 o'clock. This is the last seen of him, He took the back path to the shops and the assassin was lying in wait for him and pounced upon him as he en- tered the rivet shops, There are many ugly rumors afloat and enough is known to show that this is another case of revenge. One of the Italians who boards on ‘that street was said to have matrimonial designs upon one of the fair maidens; which was frustrated by the Messenger family, It will be remembered that the boring shop at the bridge works was burned a short time ago and a man was seen by the nightwatch- man running through the alleyway just before the fire was discovered. Soon after that George E. Davis found a aote on his doorstep, writs ten on a piece of paper about four inches :quare folded up and pinned together with a part of a burnt match. The note read: “Mr. Da. vis. Better discharge Charles E. Messenger. Look out.” The note had the appearance of having been carried in the pocket some time before leaving it where found. Already strong suspicion rests on two parties and the officers are on the trail of two men who were at- tempting to leave town. This morning Chief Mulligan arrested Dominic Sciarrone, an Italian, who is alleged to have been enamored of Messinger's daughter. Itis alleged that he wanted to marry the girl but that Messenger was opposed to the union. Sciarrone was locked up, and the authorities believe that they have the right man. District Attorney Mills, Shenff Griffin and the entire police force of Sayre and Athens are working on the case. : This forenoon Chief Walsh went to the home of Mrs, Boccaforra on East Packer avenue in search of Gioseppe Sciarrone, a brother of the man under arrest at Athens. The chief brought the man to the borough lockup and placed him in one of the cells and then sent for District Attorney Mills, The latter accompanied by Sheriff Griffin came to Sayre at once and the district attorney put Gioseppe through a long and searching ex amination. Shortly after being attorney Laws. When questioned by the district attorney Gioseppe denied having any hand in the iffair. He "said that he went to bed last night at nine o'clock and that during the night he was taken sick, which accounted for his not going to work today. He evaded all questions that would tend to incriminate him, and when the dis- trict attorney had finished but little information had been gained. The man will be held, however, until after the inquest and a forther ins vestigation of his whereabouts last night can be made afternoon at office.
