Suffolk, Virginia, January 7 - Accused of committing murder in faraway Nebraska 31 years ago, CHARLES W. WELLS, alias YANKEE ALLEN, Monday, January 7, 1907 was arrested in Nansemond County and was lodged in the Suffolk jail pending word by wire from the Nebraska authorities. Monday afternoon, January 7, 1907, when WELLS was interviewed in his cell by the Virginian-Pilot representative, he talked freely and made a full confession of the killing along with its tragic details. Now and then, as the old man talked of the tragedy and his trying subsequent experiences in evading arrest, great tears would course over his furrowed checks and trickle down his long white flowing beard. Though burdened with the weight of 72 winters, the eyes of Mr. WELLS flashed with youthful fire as he told of the causes leading up to the homicide. His wife, too, was there in the cell with him. She had come in from the country to be with her aged husband in his hour of trouble. As the old man told the tale of the tragedy, she would occasionally suggest a detail which had been overlooked by the aged prisoner. She is 64 years old and a native of Switzerland. He will be 72 in March 1907. The victim was THOMAS SCHUTER. He was a German with an English wife. The widow was afterward sent back to England. A cow was the cause of the killing. SCHUTER had bought a cow from WELLS and had agreed to work out the price of it. Failing to get the work or the price of the cow, WELLS consulted counsel and was told he could get back the cow. He went to get it. There were hot words and SCHUTER cursed WELLS and told him if he approached near, he would be killed. WELLS insisted on getting the cow. SCHUTER put up hi gun and snapped it, but it missed fire. Then WELLS shot him dead. Only one shot was fired and that entered the breast. WELLS says he wanted to give himself up and stand trail, but lawyers advised him to put at least 1,000 miles of country between himself and Stanton. There was a foreign element in the then frontier town which had threatened to mob WELLS and he decided to flee. WELLS had been one of the pioneer settlers in those parts but he left everything and skidooed. WELLS says he walked and ran 75 miles the first night and landed in Siouz City, Iowa, the next morning. He was utterly exhausted, but after a rest, he continued his journey to the neighborhood of Manitoba, beyond the border line of the United States. Later he went down through the chain of the Great Lakes and arrived in Oswego, New York, where he lived two or three years. 27 years ago the fugitive arrived in Virginia and since that time, he has resided in Nansemond County, near Box Elder, where he has farmed and acquired some thousands of dollars. Since the killing, WELLS changed his name to ALLEN, by which alias he was known in this section. WELLS was born in Sullivan County, New York, near the Canadian line on March 16, 1835. A telegram Monday, January 7, 1907, was sent to Stanton, Nebraska concerning WELLS, but up to Monday night, January 7, 1907, the local officials had received no word from the wires. In case Stanton wants him, WELLS will be carried there by Hurricane Branch. WELLS told an officer that a relative of his had written to Nebraska concerning his whereabouts.

SAMUEL SPENCER Friday, November 30, 1906 Lynchburg, Virginia, November 29 - President of the Southern Railway Company and recognized as one of the foremost men in the development of the southern states, was killed Thursday, November 29, 1906 at 6:10 am in a rear-end collision, in which two fast southbound passenger trains were involved, ten miles south of Lynchburg and a mile north of Lawyer's Depot. In the same wreck, 3 of his guests were killed. Of those in the private car, only his private secretary, E.A. MERRILL, of New York City, and one of the 3 porters survived the accident. Seven lives were lost in the wreck. SPENCER and his party occupied the rear car on the forward train and as far as is known, were sleeping when the collision happened. The probabilities are that all of them, except Dispatcher DAVIS, were killed instantly. It is certain that life was extinct before the flames touched them. SPENCER's body was burned almost beyond recognition, as was that of Mr. FISHER. The body of Mr. SCHUYLER was taken from under the train before it was much burner, having been singed only slightly. His car was attached to the rear of the Jacksonville Train, which was standing still when struck. SPENCER's body was lying directly under the big locomotive of the rear train. So great was the force of the impact, that the forward train was sent at least 150 feet ahead, the locomotive going over and upon the body of SPENCER. Until after the debris burned itself out and the engine cooled off, the bodies could not be removed. The impact drove the combination car forward. The express car, together with its truck, lifted up and crushed down upon the combination car, 40 feet, leaving the remainder of the car strewn with tons of baggage and colored passengers, who were pushed back like rats. The combination car did not leave the track. In clearing away the debris, the express car was hauled away to a siding a mile distant, still on top of what remained of the combination car. How the colored passengers in this compartment, which is known as the Jim Crow part of the train, escaped none of them being killed, is beyond explanation. SPENCER's destination was Friendship, North Carolina, where he was going on a hunting trip with Messrs SCHYLER, FISHER, REDWOOD and MERRILL as his guests. The accident resulted from a collision between train No 37, the Washington & Southwestern vestibuled limited, which ran into the rear end of train No 33, known as the Jacksonville limited. SPENCER's private coach at the rear end of No 33, caught the brunt of the blow and was burned. The private car was split open by the colliding locomotive and immediately took fire. The Jacksonville train had stopped on the top of a very heavy grade to repair a slight break down and before, it is said, a flagman could get back to protect the train, the Atlanta train dashed into it. The heavy engine of the train plowed into the private car of SPENCER. Immediately the private car took fire. The wreckage was piled around the engine as though placed there by human hands to consume it. Every portion of wood work on the engine was burned and the monster machine stands there torn, twisted and will have to be turned down the embankment as it is useless. The wreck occurred on the crest of a steep grade, when the Atlanta train could not have been running more than 30 miles an hour, if as fast. Had it occurred a mile or two further south, the number of dead might have been frightful. The train was about two hours behind its schedule, a condition in the grade there that would have meant a speed of more than 60 miles an hour. It was rumored at first, that Engineer KENNEY, of Spencer, North Carolina, in charge of the engine on the Atlanta train, was killed. This proved to be incorrect. KENNEY suffered only a few slight bruises and cuts, which were dressed. He did not go to a hospital. H.B. SPENCER, 6th vice president of the Southern Railway, was a passenger on a northbound train from the south which reached the scene of the wreck a few minutes after it had occurred. He spend several hours there until the charred remains of his father were taken from under the locomotive. Then he came to this city with the remains of his father and those of his party. The coach containing the corpses was wide tracked in the yard above the city. Caskets were procured for them. These were placed in the private car of President STEVENS of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, who was passing through this city with his family. The car was tendered for this use by STEVENS. This car and the one containing the remains of the killed were attached to a late train going north. The remains were transferred to the caskets while the train was in transit. Judge JOHN D. HORSELY, division counsel for the company here and Assistant General Superintendent E.H. COPEMAN, of Danville, were in charge of the remains. H.B. SPENCER preceded this train on a special made up here in order to be in Washington upon the arrival of the regular train. At the city hospital tonight, all the injured colored passengers are reported to be doing well. All are expected to recover. County Coroner J.W. DAVIS, at the request of the Southern officials, went this afternoon to the scene of the wreck for the purpose of holding an inquest. He found the bodies had been removed before his arrival. He returned to his home in the suburbs and tonight could not say what steps will be taken tomorrow. The Jacksonville express had the right of way in the block. The engine left the train and proceeded two miles, one of which was beyond Lawyers, before the engineer noticed he was without his train. It may be that when he passed Lawyers, that the operator there gave Rangoon a clear block, without noticing whether or not the rear end markers were to be seen before he did so. In the absence of an official explanation, except that the operator at Rangood was at fault, that statement is being accepted here. It is possible that investigation may develop that the Rangoon Operator let the Atlanta train into the block on an order from Lawyers that the block was clear, the operator there thinking the trainless engine cleared the block and that the rear train was passed Rangoon before it could be stopped when the mistake was discovered. Should the investigation show that the Lawyers operator gave a clear track after the engine passed his station without noting the rear end markers, then the cause of the accident was at Lawyers and not at Rangoon. Only official investigation will reveal this. At 10:30 pm tonight, it was ascertained from a reliable source that D.J. MADDUX, operator at Rangoon, on duty at the time of the accident, has disappeared. He can not be found, although railway officials have made an effort to locate him. Dispatcher DAVIS was alive when taken from under the wreckage. He was crushed about the lower portion of the body and was conscious to the end. He asked that word be sent to his wife and child. The death of Mr. DAVIS was touching. He stated to his rescuer that he knew he was dying and knew the end could not be off. "Place your finger on my mouth," he said, "It feels so cool and good." He pleaded with the gentleman, who was also a passenger on the train, not to leave him. For ten minutes, the man stayed with him until he saw nothing could be done for him. F.M. CURTIS, of Jamestown, New York, a passenger on the Jacksonville train, saw one Negro porter go through a lady's grip. He saw him throw away such things as were of no value to him and appropriate those things that he wanted. Mr. CURTIS declared, he would have certainly killed the porter if he had a weapon to do it with. "In the rear of the Pullman, which was smashed," and Mr. CURTIS, "there was a mother with a 6 year old babe. They were in a drawing room car which had been crushed in. Strange to say they were not hurt in the slightest. They were gotten out and taken to safety. As far as I know, the train attaches did not aid in the first relief. They had gone both ways to protect the two trains from each other and more serious trouble. One of the things that struck me forcibly, was the heroic manner in which the colored passengers, who were injured, bore their sufferings. There was practically not a sound from them. They were laid out in the fields adjoining the railway. There they remained for several hours, until they could be placed in a coach and brought to the city." Mr CURTIS has in his possession a valuable case of jewels which was handed to him by a lady. He does not know to whom it belongs and why it was handed to him. It evidently is the property of someone of means. It contains a heavy set diamond ring and other jewels of value. At the general offices of the Southern railway, in Washington, this morning, the following statement regarding the wreck was issued: "Souther Railway passenger train, No 33 left Washington last night late, by reason of congested holiday traffic. About 6:30 am today, at Lawyers, Virginia, on a portion of the road protected by block system, train was stopped for slight repairs to coupling. Passenger train No 37, following No. 33 and being given a clear block, ran into the rear of No 33. "Our present advices indicate the collision was probably due to negligence of the operator in allowing No 37 to pass the block. President SAMUEL SPENCER, of the Southern Railway Company and a party of friends were in an officer's car at the rear of No 33, and the reports are that SPENCER is killed and several of the party seriously injured. As further information now reported that Mr. REDMOND of Baltimore and Mr. CHARLES D. FISHER, of Baltimore, who were in the officer's car, were killed; Mr. PHILLIP SCHUYLER, in officer's car, was killed' Operator WATT DAVIS was killed; on unknown man, in officer's car was killed; Secretary MERRILL was slightly injured; SAMUEL COX, cook, badly injured; WM.

This is the same person, but the last name is spelled differently. At this time, not sure of the correct surname spelling) THOMAS SUGRUE Thursday, January 8, 1953 The 45 year old author who visited in Virginia Beach last summer and lived there from 1939 until 1941, died Tuesday, January 6, 1953 in New York. Badly crippled by arthritis for 14 years, he wrote many books, including a biography of the Virginia Beach clairvoyant and father of his former schoolmate, EDGAR CAYCE. He spent the summers between 1926 and 1930 visiting at Virginia Beach at the home of HUGH LYNN CAYCE while they were both students at Washington and Lee University. He returned last July before leaving for a trip to Scotland and gave a series of lectures. After treatment at Warm Springs, Ga last fall, he planned a lecture tour this spring. Although unable to move much of his body, except his arms, he wrote daily and much of the time in longhand. He found his system of two-finger typing less comfortable. Since becoming ill 14 years ago, he published six books ranging from a biography of EDDIE CONDON, the jazz musician, to the Cayce biography. One of his most controversial works was "A Catholic Speaks His Mind" in which he appealed for less sectarianism and less division among religious groups. While here last summer, he commented that some of the bitterest reaction to his book came from Catholics, but that other Catholics had commended his views. His first solo book, after a collaboration with JOHN LARDNER in 1933 on "The Crowning of Technocracy" was a novel about Naugatauk, Conn where he was born. This was his only novel. He felt that the novel form was for quieter times than these and that reality was more stimulating. He published "Starling of the White House" in 1946 and two years later hi autobiography "Stranger in the Earth". This was a moving account of his search for intellectual and spiritual security. It ended with his illness in 1938. Before his death, he was at work on a book on prophecy and planned another on slum clearance and public housing. He was for a time a reporter on the New York Herald Tribune. LAWRENCE SULLIVAN Saturday, January 5, 1907 (Please see MAGGIE SULLIVAN, same date) MAGGIE SULLIVAN Saturday, January 5, 1907 (The surname of the FREDERICK was ARMATO and his son's was AMARTO. Do not know which to be correct. Left them spelled as they are printed in the paper) Chatham, Virginia, January 4 - FREDERICK ARMATO, an Italian, was indicted Friday, January 4, 1907 by the grand jury here on the charge of murdering JOSEPH PATRILLO, MAGGIE SULLIVAN and her son, LAWRENCE SULLIVAN, in the railroad camp at Sycamore Saturday, December 29, 1906. ALLIE AMARTO, the indicted man's son, who was suspected of being implicated in the crime, has been released. Efforts are now being made to have the elder AMARTO released on bail. Immediately after the crime, AMARTO and his son were arrested. Evidence showed that PATRILLO and AMARTO and hi son had been at enmity, although they had been living in adjoining camps and had been employed as laborers by Wesley & Cooper, contractors, who are double tracking the Southern Railway between Motley's Station and Sycamore. The woman was horribly murdered, having been shot several times in the head, body and breast. Several bullets pierced the heart and breast of her 12 year old son. PATRILLO was shot twice in the head, the bullets entering behind the ears. Magistrate JOHN L. HURT, has been conducting the investigation of the case. He is of the opinion that the murder was committed while the occupants of the tent were at breakfast, as a lamp was burning when the bodies were found. It is alleged that the SULLIVAN woman deserted her husband in Bedford City and joined PATRILLO. The woman had lived in the camp with the man with whom she was killed. The killing was done with a .44 caliber pistol and the elder ARMATO had the same kind of pistol in his possession when arrested, although the firearm contained no bullets. In his tent were found a number of empty shells which fitted in his revolver. The SULLIVAN woman was an American, but all others connected with the murder are supposed to have been Italians. JOHN T.
