CONCEALED IN HOLE IN FARMHOUSE CELLAR. “BODY W SICK John Marks, Cecentric Farmer, Who Quarrelled with Hired Man, Said to Be Missing Be- fore Crime Was Discovered. COLCHESTER. Conn. April 9.— @ith the arms cut off at the shoulder Joints and the head battered almost be- yond recognition, the bruised and bloody body of a man tiled in a mck has been dug up in the cellarway of the house of John Marks, a well-to-do farmer of thin place, and the authori- tes say to-day that murder has been brought to light. Marks, who in sixty-five years old, is and the police have started detectives and requests for his appre- hension on his trail. Searching parties composed of Colchester residents also are out threshing the country around here for the old man, it being the opinion of a great many that he has not left these parts, but is hiding tn the woods fn this vicinity. While there can be no certainty yet as to the identity of the murdered man, he is believed to have been a helper on Mar! farm who was roported mii ing two weeks ago. He dropped out aight in a night, and his absence occa. sioned little comment because It was cepted as a fact that he had quar- relled with his aged employer and quit Whe place. Said to Be Quarrelaome. Marks always has had the reputation ef a quarreisome person, but of luce Years his inability to get along with tose who he employed has increaged with his age, It was chance that led to the ing of the mutilated remains. ‘The eack In which they were -tied had been put in the bottom of a hole, which had evidently dug in the cellarway for that p: Rocks and dirt were then thrown in on top of the gruesome and its contents, and the murderer jt believed there was’ nothing to indl- cate what lay beneath. But in the excitement the criminal left an ear of the sack exposed. This ‘was ween by the farmhand whom Marks ordered to finish filling In the excava- tion. His curiosity led him to drag the sack into the light. When he had first noticed the corner of the gunny he belleved that possibly it contained hidden wealth, for {t haa jong been a rumor that | Marks has burled his hoardings in different places PB cit Property “rather than banks, Old Farmer D The farmhand who discovered the body af the murdered man wus employed a week ago to take, the missing helper’s place. As soon as he satisfied himself of the sack’s contents he ran to find Marks, but the old farmer had disap- peared. An hour had elapsed between he time that the old man had been ordered by Marks to fill in the hole in the cellar and this time, and then the helper recalled that soon after the far- mer had assigned him to the work In the cellarway he had seen him going through the front gate. The farmhand, trembling and _un- nerved at the, thought of what might have happened to him, came runnin, here with the news of’ the crime, an in less than three hours the police were searching for Marks. If the old man had planned an escay he could not have covered his trac! more thoroughly. than they seem to be concealed. Although a landmark in this part of the State, known to old and young, no one hus’ been foupd who has seen him since the moment that the helper saw him going through the farm rate.
