INQUIRY SET INTO KILLING 0 F FUGITlVE
Inquest Ordered in Case Of Former Streetcar Man Shot by Officers
Details surrounding the death of J.O. Carr, 35 years of age, of 504 James street, who was shot and killed by Patrolman Heyer early yesterday, will
be related today at the inquest set for 10:30 a.m. at the Coroner's Office. The shooting followed his escape after arrest by two radio patrol officers.
Heyer shot the man as he was leaping over a rear fence at 543 Stanford avenue. Carr had knocked down Radio Patrolman Farrell after being taken
in custody for carrying a concealed weapon.
Farrell and Officer Stewart arrested Carr in a café at Fifth street and Gladys avenue in a search for bandit suspect. They put him in a police car and
were starting for the City Jail when he jumped out and ran. Farrell caught up with him on foot but was knocked down in a hand-to-hand
struggle.
Patrolman Heyer then joined the chase and reported that he fired only after the fleeing man failed to heed a command to halt. One bullet struck
Carr in the leg and another ripped through his body killing him instantly.
His widow, Mrs. Anna Carr, and his 19-year-old stepson, Edward Mallory, both declared yesterday they could not account for the fact that Carr
had a weapon with him. Mallory said his stepfather worked as a street-car conductor five years ago and that since then he had been employed as
a building wrecker and on laboring jobs.
Neighbors of the dead man said Carr bore an excellent reputation:

POLICEMAN UPHELD IN KILLING MAN
Slaying of J.O. Carr Held by Coroner's Jury to Have Been Justified
Death of Jess 0. Carr, 47 years of age, former street-car -motorman, shot and killed by a police officer in, an alley in the rear of the 500 block on
Stanford street, was held by a Coroner's jury yesterday to have been justifiable homicide.
In its verdict the jury cited that Carr, who lived at 504 James street, died as the result of a gunshot wound of the chest inflicted by Police
Officer Heyer in performance of his duty when the man was evading capture after having been previously taken into custody.
Police Officer Farrell testified that a gun had been taken from Carr when suspicion was directed toward him in a restaurant in the 700 block on
East Fifth street and that the man broke away and fled as he was being placed in a police car. Heyer joined the chase and after wounding Carr in
the leg shot to kill in the belief that the man still had the gun in his possession, the officer testified

Notes for Conde Ray "Foxy" Flynn:
[Latchaw - Robin Morcombe.FTW]
Fulton County, Indiana Obituaries, The News-Sentinel 1927
Monday, January 31, 1927
The populace of this city was given a genuine thrill early Sunday morning when the body of Ray "Foxy" FLYNN, aged 25, was found dead
along the roadside at a point about one mile east of the Cornelius farm, which is located two and one-half miles north of this city on State Road
[US] 31. Flynn had been shot through the heart with a 38-caliber revolver bullet.
The gruesome discovery was made shortly after 8 o'clock Sunday morning when Estil ROWLES, son of Frank ROWLES, who resides about
four miles northeast of this city was on his way to Rochester. Rowles stated the body was lying about two feet from the ruts of the roadway.
After ascertaining the man was dead Rowles drove into this city and reported his discovery to Sheriff Fred CARR. Summoning Coroner Herbert
ZIMMERMAN the local officers went to the scene.
Flynn was lying flat on his back with his right arm swung over his face, and his right leg crossed over his other leg. A large handkerchief
was tied loosely around his neck. This was presumed to have been placed there by the party who fired the fatal shot, as the handkerchief was not
the property of the slain man. No footprints were found along the roadway at this point. The person or party committing the deed evidently had
carefully laid the body along the roadbed, while standing on the running board of an auto. Lawrence KETCHMARK, center on the R. H. S.
Zebras team, upon returning to his home which is just a mile and a half east of the old Cornelius farm, noticed an object laying in the road but
thought it was a pile of old clothes. This was unquestionably the body of Flynn and the time Ketchmark passed this spot was 2:30 Sunday a.m.,
he having just returned from playing basketball with the Zebras at Crawfordville. Ketchmark, when interviewed this morning, stated he did not
meet any cars along State Road [U.S.] 31 or on the side road which leads to his home.
An autopsy was held at the Zimmerman Bros. undertaking parlor Sunday morning which disclosed the bullet that killed Flynn had been fired
from a distance of perhaps six to eight feet. The shot entered his left side just above the heart, severing a large artery, thence it ploughed its way
on its diagonal course through the sternum and finally imbedded itself in the flesh below the vicinity right arm pit. The theory of suicide which
was first advanced by some was soon discarded as the overcoat which Flynn wore was not burned or seared by the shot, as would have been the
case had he killed himself.
Flynn, who was a butcher by trade, had been employed by the Ball Ice Co., for the past several months. On Tuesday of last week he was
released from the county jail when he had completed serving a term for contempt of court for failure to make payments for the support of his
divorced wife and two young children who now reside in Hebron, Ind. It was also learned today that three weeks ago he was arrested at East
Chicago at which time he was accompanied by two 18 year old Rochester girls.
The officers are at work on several clues, one of which the eternal triangle looms up as a possible motive, and in this connection the names of
the well-known Patchett sisters, Miss Fern [PATCHETT] and Mrs. Harold SHANNON and the latter's husband, are slated for a probing by the
officers working on the case. Harold SHANNON is being sought at Medaryville, Ind., by the Sheriff of Winamac, today. If apprehended he will
be summoned before Prosecutor Fred McCLURG.
Another clue which pertains to a larceny charge which was perpetrated in this city several weeks ago in which several local characters are
under surveillance, is being checked up, it being the presumption that Flynn might possibly have been too well informed concerning the matter
to make it comfortable for those implicated in this felony.
A stranger was seen with Flynn by Harvey WAYMIRE, local telegraph operator, Saturday evening about 8:30. They were walking east on
Eighth street. Waymire stated he had never seen the man before and did not obtain any particular description of the man. The last time Flynn
was seen according to all evidence now available, was at 9:30 p.m. Saturday night when he was standing with a stranger on the sidewalk
directly west of the Court House. Sarah FELTS, who resides on corner of Bancroft and 13th street was passing along that side of the public
square and saw the two who were engaged in conversation. Like Waymire, she could not give a minute or clear description of the stranger.
>From this time on and until midnight was the period in which the local man was shot, it was estimated by Coroner Zimmerman, who stated when
Flynn was found that death had occurred between eight and nine hours previous..

Zimmerman stated at noon today he would probably hold the coroner's inquest sometime Tuesday. This official desires the presence of Harold
Shannon at this investigation and it is believed the Winamac Sheriff will bring the needed witness into custody by tonight.
The body of the murdered man was taken to the home of his parents, Leander and Remanada FLYNN, in East Rochester this morning. Besides
his parents the murdered man is survived by a divorced wife and two children, one brother, Leonard [FLYNN], and two sisters, Mrs. Jake
GOOD and Mrs. Willie LIGHTFOOT. Funeral arrangements have not as yet been arranged.
Sunday, March 13, 1927
Kenneth LUCKENBILL, who shot Ray FLYNN in self defense on the night Flynn and YOUNG attempted to hold him up near Gilead,
Saturday morning made a sworn statement in the office of Prosecutor Fred McCLURG in the presence of his father, Lon LUCKENBILL, and a
number of local officers. This statement is being withheld at the present time by police. This statement probably will be released sometime next
week. Prosecutor McClurg stated today that he believes the auto banditry cases will have to be tried in Miami County.
The mystery surrounding the killing of Ray (Foxy) Flynn who was found murdered on a lonely road north of this city n the morning of
January 29 by Lawrence KETCHMARK center of the Rochester High School basketball team as he was returning from a game at Crawfordsville,
was solved Friday evening through the confession of two men as was the theft of $400 worth of fur from Jay GINTHER on December 13 and
numerous holdups in this county the past two years.
The confessions were obtained from Chester (Burnsie) YOUNG, who was arrested at Winamac Friday morning by Sheriff Fred CARR and
Glen Howard BUTT 26, who was taken into custody Friday morning by a detective of the South Bend police force as he was working at the
Studebaker Automobile Company where he has been employed since January 19. Butt's arrest was made at the request of Detective Cy Stout, of
Plymouth, a Pennsylvania railroad detective who has been working on the case.
*****photo Ray "Foxy" Flynn*****
The confessions from the two men which implicated Oscar "Doc" BALLENGER, 23, and who is now in jail, were obtained after hours of
grilling on the part of Prosecutor Fred McClurg and Sheriff Danny HAINES and Prosecutor Abe LINCOLN of Columbia City, and
Pennsylvania railroad detectives, Cy STOUT and L. H. RUPLEY of Columbia City.
The confessions which were obtained from Young and Butt is a story which could be the basis of a novel. The stories told by the young men
are unbelievable were if not for the fact that evidence obtained by the six officers substantiates them in every detail. As a result of the arrests two
men, Young and Butt, are being held for auto banditry. Ballenger is charged with being an accessory after-the-fact in the banditry case and
Verne SPOHN< 23, was arrested Friday morning at his home in East Rochester for grand larceny.
Flynn, according to the confessions of Butt and Young was killed on a main traveled highway near Gilead, Indiana, about 8:00 p.m., January
28, as he attempted to hold up Kenneth LUCKENBILL, 19, son of Mr. And Mrs. Charles LUCKENBILL, who lives two miles south of Gilead
on a farm just 40 rods from the home of Glen Butt's mother.
Butt in his sworn confession which appears in another column of this issue, stated that he made arrangements with Glen OVERMYER in the
Gilliland poolroom here on the afternoon of January 28 to use his car that evening. About 6:15 Butt says he got the Overmyer car near the M. &
M. Department Store on West Seventh street and later met Young and Flynn on East Ninth street.
According to Butts they started our to look for a likely looking victim for holdup. The trio drove east as far as Athens where they turned
south and at a point two miles south of Gilead, or a distance of approximately 20 miles from this city, they came upon Luckenbill who was
walking from the Winona Interurban station to his home. Luckenbill had been working in Michigan and had come home to spend the week end
with his parents.
Butt then stated that Ray Flynn said, "There goes a fellow. I wonder if he has any money." Butt cautioned against holding up any person
there as he said it might be a friend or relative of his. The two men however disregarded Butt's warning and jumped out of the Overmyer car,
Flynn first arming himself with a 45 calibre revolver which was in a pocket of the car and which Butt says was not loaded.
Getting out of the car Flynn and Young, one on both sides, Butt says Flynn ordered Luckenbill to "to stick 'em' up." Luckenbill dropped
his luggage and as he raised his right hand above his head drew a .38 calibre revolver from his left hip pocket and started to fire. Five shots were
emptied from the revolver by Luckenbill either the third or fourth on striking Flynn. The fifth was fired at Young who was by this time
retreating toward the Overmyer car.
Luckenbill then ran to his home about three-quarters of a mile away. After Luckenbill had left, Butt stated that he and Young helped Flynn
into the car when the victim of the gunfire stated, "I have been shot. I cannot see." On the return trip to this city which was made through Macy,
Young rode in the back seat with Flynn and supported him.
While making the trip here Butt and Young said they debated as to whether to take Flynn to a doctor but for fear of questioning decided not
to do so. Their negligence will in all probability result in a charge of first degree murder being lodged against them which means the electric
chair. Medical aid could have been procured at Macy where Dr. CARTER resides.
After returning to this city Butt then related that Young and he parked the Overmyer car on East Fifth street. Butt says both got out of the
machine, he going to the Gilliland poolroom where he again met Overmyer and told him what had happened. Butt says he told Overmyer to be
sure and determine if Flynn were dead before he disposed of the body. Butt also says he told Overmyer if it were him he would take Flynn to his
home in East Rochester and notify his relatives.
Butt then related that Overmyer afterwards told him that he returned to his car and found that life was extinct in Flynn. Driving north of
Rochester Overmyer dumped the body out along the roadway face down. Later when the body of Flynn was discovered a blue bandanna
handkerchief was found around his neck tied in the manner of a highwayman.
While the officers would not state today how they secured their lead which lead to the solving of the murder mystery it is said that
information was obtained from Overmyer who is now in jail at Columbia City doing 30 days time on a public intoxication charge. Another
reason assigned for the tip as to murder was procured from Young while in an intoxicated condition. Butt had often stated, "that he was afraid
Young would get drunk and spill his guts."
The confession of Young and Butt are identical with the exception of one point as to just where Flynn passed away. Butt says he does not
know but thinks it was near Macy while Young who was riding with Flynn states that he was still alive when they left him in the car by himself
on East Fifth street.
The question of jurisdiction in the matter where it shall be vested with Fulton or Miami county authorities depends to a great extent upon
the place where Flynn passed away even though the attempted holdup did occur in Miami county.
Fulton county authorities however are going forward in their attempt to bring the four men to justice and probably Overmyer will be
included in this list later. The Fulton county grand jury will be summoned Monday by Judge R. R. CARR. They will be given detailed
instructions to sift the murder, fur theft, and holdups to the bottom.
The Miami county authorities stated this morning that they did not care to handle the case against the five men and only would if they were
forced to by point of law. The Miami county prosecutor stated that the Fulton County authorities had cleared up the mystery and he believed
that they should prosecute the guilty parties.
There is till a possibility that Miami county authorities will have to take charge of the case and this move may be forced on the state by.

attorneys for the defendants who may raise the question of jurisdiction when the cases are called.
As yet none of the four men now held in the jail here have been arraigned. The charges of auto banditry against Young and Butt as well as
the grand larceny charge against Spohn have been filed in the court of justice William EWING. Ballenger is being held on a vagrancy charge
which will be charged sometime today to that of being an accessory. The four men will be arraigned probably Monday or Tuesday after which
their cases will be bound over to the Circuit court. Judge CARR it is thought will ask high bonds in each of the cases.
Luckenbill, the young man who killed Flynn is not held responsible by the authorities in any manner. He impressed the sheriffs with his
straight-forward story Friday. The officers stated that he should receive a medal for his courage in protecting himself even after being covered by
the holdup gun.
Luckenbill stated that he was glad the mystery was solved as the suspense of being the possible cause of Flynn's death has hung heavily on
his mind during the past six weeks.
Luckenbill also said that he had suspicioned Butt as being a member of the gang which held him up but as he was a neighbor he never
voiced his thoughts.
Following the shooting a .45 calibre revolver was found in the roadway near where the holdup occurred. This was turned over to the sheriff
of Miami county who later gave the gun to Sheriff Carr who now has it in his possession.
Luckenbill will come to this city late this afternoon or this evening. He will be questioned by local officers in an effort to make their cases
against the four and possibly five defendants much stronger. Every effort is being made by Sheriff Carr and Prosecutor McClurg to make their
cases against the defendants impervious.
Every one of the four defendants has talked and so has Overmyer. The four men taken into custody here were separated by the detectives and
never given an opportunity to see each other until after their confessions were obtained. The story about the murder and fur theft is now
complete.
Flynn, Overmyer, Young and Ballenger are well known to Rochester police officers. They have been in trouble here on numerous occasions
and all have done or are doing time on various charges. Butt, of all the gang, seems to be the only one who has never been in trouble before.
The full story of the fur theft has not as yet been given out. Some rumors say that Overmyer shipped the furs to Nebraska where they were
sold and others say that the pelts have been buried. Local officers during the past six weeks have jug around in several fields where it is
thought the furs might be buried after they had received various tips.
Spohn can only be charged with the fur robbery which is a grand larceny count which carries with is a sentence of 8 to 10 years in the
penitentiary. Overmyer knew the uses to which his car was being placed according to Butt who stated that Overmyer had asked him on several
occasions to accompany them on their various robberies and holdups, but he stated he had always refused.
What charge will be placed against Overmyer has not as yet been determined. He will be given another severe grilling today by Columbia
City authorities. The charge of auto banditry carries with it a sentence of from 10 to 25 years while that of first degree murder is either the chair
of life imprisonment.
Butt is the adopted son of the late William BUTT who met a tragic death about two years ago at the Whisler crossing on the Winona
Interurban Company trolly track near Chili when his automobile was struck by a car and he and his daughter-in-law where both instantly
killed. Butt's name was originally [Glen Howard] MOORE.
