Bay City Times December 15, 1891
Cheboygan, Dec. 15.-In the coroner's investigation into the supposed murder of 
James Kemp, nothing of much importance as to the cause of his death was elicited 
from the dozen or more witnesses who testified. Chas. Sharbineau has been 
arrested and jailed on suspicion and other arrests may follow. Sharbineau and 
Kemp drank freely and both were seen together late on the night of the murder 
badly intoxicated, and prints of rubber shoes near where the body was found 
correspond with those Sharbineau wore that night. Bruises were found on the body 
and face, but they may have been caused by the action of the water while the 
body was lying on the bottom of the river. The physicians have made a thorough 
examination of the body and lungs and say that Kemp was dead before he was 
thrown into the river. This established the fact that he was murdered, but by 
whom is not and may never be known.
