MORGANTOWN - After an all day search, the bodies of John Ward, 50 years old, and his son George, aged 12, were taken from the Monongahela river near Catawba, W. Va., last midnight. The authorities scent murder, as the bodies bore evidence of rough handling and they were bruised and the clothing torn, indicating a struggle. The pockets of both had been rifled. A negro is known to have followed Ward and his son from the B&O depot to a river bank, where the father and son climbed into a skiff across the river to their home. The officers are making a wide search for the negro. Ward, who was a section foreman on the Buckhannon and Northern Railroad and his son had been on a business trip to Fairmont. They returned to Catawba by train and started for home on the other side of the river. A friend accompanied them get into the skiff. A negro followed the three up the track. This was the last seen of the two alive. The finding of the elder man's hat and the half filled boat told the story of the tragedy. Mrs. Ward and two sons and a daughter survive, the oldest child being thirteen years old.
