He had been'Wl] for some time and failed to recover frum a surgical operation. A Eoston paper on Wednesday said of him: Born in West Greenwich, R. I, Aprii #, 1843, the son of Pardon and Eunice Tillinghast (his mother's maiden name being also Tillinghast), he was a lineal descendant of the noted Elder Pardon Tillinghast, a man of marx in the early days of the Rhode lIsland colony. At an early age his family removed to Danfelson, Windham county, Conn., where he was educated and for some | years taught school. In the spring of.1870 Mr. Tiilinghast { rame to Boston and became a reporter jcn the Journal, of which paper he snon became city editor, serving in that capacity until 1879, when he accepted a position as acting librarian of the state Itbrary, of which at that time the sec- retary of the state board of education | was by law the titular librarian. Mr, Tillinghast was but 36 years old when he received his appointments, hut his omnivorous reading, his thorough acquaintance with the best in litera-, ture, the careful system with which he' | ¢id everything, and his friendly and even intimate relations with authors and publishers had given him a rare equipment for the task, as had his {jouinalistic exparience orecared him | for the responsibility of the New Bas- land Historic-Genealogical soclety’s iTublications, and as his pedagozic career had fitted him for his important petition on the Massachusetts board of education.

He was a member of the American Historical association, Colonial society of Massachusetts, American Antiquar- ‘an society, New England Historic- Genealogical society and other organ- jzations of similar character,‘and of the Boston Art and Appelachian Moun- tain efubs. In 1886 he married Mrs. Martha A. ‘Wonson of Gloucester, who survives him, Sylvanus M. Woodward. Sylvanus Martin Woodward, 81, died at the home, of his son-in-law, Judge Milton A. Shumway, on Main street, Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock. Mr. Woodward was serfously il during February, but was practically recoyer- | ed when again taken ill a few days agu. He was born at Plainfield, N. H.. March 28, 1828, the son of Mr. and Mrs. David Woodward. Though a na- tive of New Hampshire, the greater part of his life was lived in Brooklyn, | where hls great-great-grandfather, John Woodward, of Newton, Mas settled In 1707, and built the coloni dwelling_in which the greater number of his descendants were born. Mr.| Woodward was a veteran of the Civil| war, enlisting Dec, 7, 1861, under Col. | Henry M. Denning 'in the Twelfth Ccn- 1 ectieut volunteers. He served through | the Loufsiara campaign under General Butler and was wounded at the battle of Georgia Landing. He was dis- charged from the service March 23, 1863, with an excellent record. Since the organization of McGregor post, No. 27, G. A. R., he has been one of its most active and enthusiastic members. He seldom missed a meeting or Me- morial service. He served as com- mander of the post and was for' 18 years and up to the time of his death its efficfent adjutant. Mr. Woodward came of a family prominently identi- fied witk early colonial days and Rev- olutionary events, many of the family members making history as soldiers fighting for American liberty. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Mary Shumway of Danielson and Mrs, E. J. Brooks of Westwood, Mass, and one gon, Leon A., of Litchfield, Conn. PUTNAM. Coroner’s. Inquest-in Case of Charles | F. McComber, Found Murdered at West Woodstock—News About the City—Personal Items, Murdered with merciless savagery, with robbery or revenge as the prob- able motives—slashed to death, pos- sibly with his own pocket knife, the body of Charles F. McComber lay in a little outbuilding at the town farm in West Woodstock, Wednesday when the coroner, medical examiner and state police @rived to begin the in- quest and weld the chain of evidence that should bring_agmysterious crim- inal to justice. With the head half severed from she body by a hideous gash across the throat, the windpipe and jugulag vein cleanly cut, McCom- ber rested on an improvised cot, death due to such a crime as has seldom startled the historic town. Only mea- ger clues exist for the state police to use in unraveling the crime, the secret of which is probably shared be- tween the dead man and his slayer. The solution of the case promises to develop excessive difficulty for the po- lice. . The location of the crime is about nine miles from Putnam. far over in a sparsely populated section of the town of Woodstock, near the Massachusetts line. On an unfrequented road, near the old town farm, the body was found Iying face downward beside a wall. The ghastly find was made about six | o'clock Tuesday evening by Louis Har- rington, a teamster in the employ of Thomas Hedges. Medical Examiner’s Finding. Medical Examiner Joseph Spald M.D., who lives on Woodstock Hill, was notified and after viewing the| body ordered it removed to the town | farm, where Coroner A. G. Bill of Dan- | day afternoon. | Dr. Spalding, *after his examination, | stated_that the man had been dead | since Monday. In all probability Mc- | Comber was killed on the afternoon or night of that day and the body re- mained undiscovered for twenty-four hours, As to the dead man's movements since last Friday and his companions | during that time very little is yet known. Locating where he spent the time between that when he was last seen alive and the finding of his body | will Yoark the beginning of the Inves- tigation by the police. Struck Down from Behind. Such deductions as could be made Wednesday from an inspection of the place where -McComber's death oc curred and from his wounds and cloth- ing would Indicate that he was struck down, probably from behind, and his throat cut while he lay helpless on the ground, A great pool of blood, saturating the leaves and turf, marks the spot where the man's life ebbed away. Body Placed Where Found. It was not there, however, that the body was found, but 22 feet aw: be. | side the wall where Harrington's start- led gaze fell upon the limp form. In| Dr, Spalding's opinion, no man could | suffer the wound that McComber did and thereafter be able to walk. Nor does any blood stain the earth where | the body rested near the wall or the space between that and the place where it is plainly evident the man | bled to death. The conclusion remains | that the murderer returned, in the! opinfon of the medical examiner, about | six hours after McComber died, and carried the body over beside the wall | Watch and Wallet Missing. Robbery may have been the motive; at least the dead man’s watch is miss- | ing and also a wallet which he always | carried. In the inside pocket of his! vest however, and In a small purse In | an outside pocket of his vest, bills and currency amounting to $33.35 were found when the clothes were searched. It robbery was the sole motive it i probable that in his haste the murder- er overlooked the money, Knife Also Missing. McComber’s knife is also missing and it is probable that it may have been used to end his life. He certainly | could not inflict on himself such a.| wound as would cause his death with any implement found on his person, That he always carried a knife is known and also indicated by partly used plugs of tobacco found in his pockets. The cut in the throat is about six inches across and extends back even with the ears. It is a clean cut, made with a sharp instrument in the hand of a man who did not falter at the frightful act he was committing. Another wound is noticeable on the back of the man’s head and mav have been inflicted when he was struck A sewing meeting of the jadies’ so- cial circle of the Second Cong tional church was held at the Mrs. Geor; W.

Mrs. Tmogene McKinstry of 63 South street, Southbridge, Magss.. a sister of the dead)man, &lso stated that she never heard of any threats to kill her brother. Mrs. McKinstry safd that her brother had beeniworking for a year past and up to March 1 as a farm hand- for Fred Morse at South- bridge. She had not seen him for sev- eral months and the last time she talked with him was over the tele- phone several weeks ago, His brother Herbert knew nothing whatever about his whereabouts for the past few weeks.

Medical Examiner Spalding, State Policeman Robert V. Hurley of Hartford. Sheriff | James McCabe of Hartford county and a few others. The facts developed were heard with close attention by the de- | tectives who may be hampered in their work by lack of evidence. State Policemen Jackson and Dow- ney also took up the case Wednesday afternoon and every possible clue will be run down, White Glove Unstained by Blood. Among the many peculiar things in connection with the finding of the body was that on the left hand, which is completely covered with dry blood, & white cotton glove was found upon which there was no blood fnside or ut. Henry McEwen, a photographer ¢ Danielson, was with Coroner Bill at West Woodstock and took views of the scene of the crime and of the body that are to be preserved for use in the case, It Is many years since such a crime has been committed within the limits of the town of Wnodstock and it has created great interest through all that part of the county Another Brother and Sister.
