Malcolm, Charles

CONCERNING THE DEATH OF CHARLES MALCOLM, The following items are made up of a 
communication sent to this office by a relative of the deceased from Paw Paw, W. 
Va. In the last issue of The Commercial an account was given of the death of 
Chas. Malcolm, who had been found dead in the Garrett lockup, he having gone to 
that place of his own accord. Exception is taken by some of the relatives that 
he died from strangulation induced by illness, and that marks or bruises were 
found about his throat and that on the evening preceding his death he had at 
least ten dollars and that when he was found dead there was no money on his 
person; these statements suggest something of mystery about his death. The 
deceased was of a good family and he is the first of a family of eight children 
to die. Chas. Malcolm it is alleged had been industrious and had saved enough 
money to buy some property but there were to be found no papers anywhere to 
indicate that he owned anything. He lived for 16 years at Garrett.
