DRAMATIC DEVELOPMENTS IN STORY OF THE TRAGEDY. ASSASSINS AMBUSH RICH MAN IN ANNESBURG.

The gruesome murder of prominent industrialist Leviticus Cornwall has shocked the country. Members of Congress have called for a special investigation into what is being billed by concerned police as an assassination. Arriving via boat for a business meeting in Annesburg, Cornwall was set upon by assassins who killed him stone dead. The worried authorities worked in vain to trail the violent murderers, who fled after a dangerous gun battle.

Many of Cornwall's private guards and local lawmen took part in the furious exchange of hot lead. The identities of the evil murderers are still entirely unknown. Mr. Cornwall was building a significant presence in the area, having recently bought a stake in the local coalmine which was previously operated by the Jameson Mining Company.

Indeed, he provided employment throughout the country and it is entirely unthinkable why anyone would seek his death as his businesses have put biscuits on the table and provisions in the larder for thousands of families. The most thorough investigations was made shortly after the commission of the crime, but officials could not produce evidence strong enough to prove motive for this awful killing of a fine American.
