Ft. Wayne News 

December 24, 1896



Greencastle, Ind., Dec. 24 -- CHARLES GRAY, who was arrested near Jeffersonville 
was being suspected of the murder of WILLIAM C. COUNTS, the Reelsville druggist, 
arrived in this city yesterday in charge of Sheriff Bunten and Marshal Starr, 
who went to Terre Haute after him. Gray and the officers were followed by a large 
crowd that amounted to a jam by the time the jail was reached. He is about 36 
years old, five feet six inches tall, has black hair and dark complexion. He was 
identified by W. O. FOSTER of Reelsville, who saw him in Reelsville the night of 
the murder. The preliminary examination of Gray will be held in this city and the 
trial also, as Reelsville is in Putnam county.
