Two Cleveland civil war veterans,
Samuel Harvey, seventy-six, and
Horace W. Upson, seventy-seven,
fwere found dead in a house near the
tthio Soldiers and Sailors' Home, at
yesterday. They had been
1-lcad since last Monday or Tuesday,
•according to Dr. S. J. Labllcq, cor
oner of Erie county.
Mystery surrounds the death of the
veterans, according to word received
here. Because both men were black
Sn the face, Erie county authorities
I 3-omted out that death might have
■ resulted from strangulation, asphyx
|a Jation or poison.
Coroner Leblicq, after a prelim
inary examination, advanced these
Viiur theories:
*ll Htat the pair were murdered by
■attendants. many of whom are
prisoners from Mansfield.
Ohio. reformatory, with robbery as
tlie motive. Os $72 pension money
drawn by Harvey and SSO drawn by
1 pson about ten days ago only about
t! 1 was found between them today.
That one killed the other and then
committed suicide after a quarrel over
a game of cards. A cribbage board
und cards were strewn about the room.
>l«y Have Heeu Poisoned.
That they might have been poisoned.
A small quantity of what the coroner
believes la liquor was found in the
♦hack, and has been taken for analysis.
* That they might have been overcome
Jf’im fumes of a coal stove, the damper
•f which was shut off.
I'he bodies were discovered by Neal
Douglass, another inmate of the home
♦nd a close friend of Harvey. Not hav
ing seen the latter since Mondav, Doug
lass went in search of him.
Tlie hut is located at Homeville, a
settlement near the home composed
'.trgely of small shacks and shanties
used by some of the inmates as sleep
ing quarters.
Harvey was admitted to the home
September 25. 1907. Upson was ad
» nutted June 2S, 191*;.

j consider the report of two geologists,
who by the direction of the Senate
have investigated conditions at the
Teapot Dome naval oil reserve
Today's session was behind closed
doors, but the committee plans to
begin later a series of public hearings
to inquire into the lease of the Teapot
Dome reserve to the Sinclair oil In
terests. The lease has been criticized
jby Senator I*a Follette, republican,
Wisconsin, and others, who are ex
j pected to take a prominent part In the
Investigation.
No progress was made at the meet
j ing today and, because of the ab
sence of several committee members
from Washington, It was decided not
to attempt to reach conclusions re
garding the geologists' report for an
other week at least. There will be
another meeting next Monday and
meantime the plan for public hear
ings will be held In abeyance.
