VOLUME 87 BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1941 Death of Hamilton Man' ,Shrouded in Mystery -Twice Shot in Back- Body Found in Diteh East of Newcastle. Deep niystery stili surrounds the circunistances in the murder of Eber Percy Eaton, 33, Cache Bay, Ont., who was found lying face down in the grass on the south side of Highway No. 2, just west of Newtonville, on Sunday aftemnoon. Hundreds of motorasts saw police guarding the body froni the tume it was found at 2 p.m. until it was ordered moved to F. F. Morris Co. funeral par- lors, Bowmanville, by Inspector W. H. Loughheed of the Criminai- Investigation Department, Toron- to, at 7.30 p.ni. A postmortem revealed that Eaton was twicie shot in the back, one bullet entering below the lef t shoulder blade and coming out over the heart while the other penetrated just below the left shoulder blade. Traffic Officer Wm. Thonipsen, who first investigated the case, said, "I drove past here at 2 o'clock but didn't notice anyone on the side of the road. A few minutes later a passing niotorist told me that a man had been hit by a car." On investigation hie found the man was dead. Carlos Sniith, 10, and Gordon McKay, 13, Newtonville, also found the nian at the sanie tume. Calling Con- stable Arthur Dyniond a further investigation was miade, and the C.I.D notified. The position of the body led to the belief that Eaton had been dragged out of a car. There was no ditch at that point in the road. The theory that the dead mian who worked in -« Hamilton de- fence industry was lilled with robbery as a motive does flot coin- cide wih the rather shabby- ap- pearance of his ciothes. Sunday night Coroner Dr. Har- old Ferguson, Bownianville, sumi moned a jury to view the remains. Late that night, following up the only dlue to the man's identity, a crumpled letter found in his poc- ket, Constable P. Morris brought Miss Dorothy Battle here froni Peterboro, who with hier brother Talbert said the man was Eber Eaton. Miss Battie had been en- gaged to mgrry him this week. Conducting a post-niortemn Mon- day Dr. E. R. Frankish found fur- ther dlues. Both bullets were of the saine large calibre. In Peterboro where Eaton work- ed for a while friends say hie was of a quiet personality and did not associate much with others. No arrests have yet been miade and police are following up al possible leads.

Police believe there is no con- nection between the daring hold- up of Stanley's Lunch, late Tues- day night, and the murder of E. P. Eaton on Sunday. At 11.15 ,p.m. two armed men wearing white masks entered the restaurant where ten people were seated - at tables and demanded the contents of the tili froni Harry Chee, Chinese c o n t e r man. Marching in with guns drawn, one 'of the gunnien, described as bemng about six feet taîl, thin face and dark complexion, covered the Chmnese and patrons with a for- midable lookig gun with a barrel 8 or 9 inches long, while the other opened the cash register and scooped out $83.00. Then they backed out. Deputy-Reeve C. G. Morris, one of the patrons of the cafe, rushed te the telephone to summon police. Within a few minutes some dozen officers were scouring the coun- try for a maroon colored car in which the men escaped. Picking up the trail west of Bowmanville, Oshawa and Bow- manville police were led a wild chase down side roads. Showering gravel and thick clouds of dust thie pursued çar was out of sîght most of the tinie. Suddenly they came upon it stopped in a gully, square in the middle of the road one mile southwest of Courtice. LThe occupants had fled across a ifield. Surrounding the area police searched throughout the night without finding the fugitives. Weil Planned Robbery Two boys toid police they saw a marooi4-colpre car pull up eut- side the ca"g> the pair alight. They peered inside and then en- tered drawing guns as they went. Oshawa police sald later a car of this description was stolen froni ithe residence of Wm. Schenau, -Rîtson Rd., during the evening. tWhen recovered it was found to ibear two sets of markers. r In the restaurant at the tume * were Harry Chee and helper, Jack -Hately, C. G. Morris, Herman Westaway, Floyd Nicholson, Har- Sold Ramsberry, Gordon Watson, -Elwood Shakleton and a number fof girls. After Mr. Morris notified police, Constable A. V. Dymond, H..T.O. sW. F.

The assumaption was that original negetiations wouid be fulfilled and the very excellent buildings and equipment be placed at the disposai, for basic and technical training, of men ini the Commonwealth Air Training Scheme. Suddenly, over the air, a few days ago the bare announcement camne that German officers, as war prisoners, were to be housed here with ail the comforts of modern plunibing, heating, electricity, scenery, hospital and convenience to two main railways and high- ways, in case they wished to travel.

In fact, ne one seenis te know if any engineers of the De- partnient were here te make pre- liminary exanunations as to suit- ability cf the premises for a prison camp. One thing however stands out clearly and that is this: No official body i this whole district, town or country, was in any way consulted. Bowmanville and Dar- lington Township were thus con- temptuously ignored in a matteg of prime interest te, theni. Censequently, and even prier te definite officiai word, citizens cf the comniunity held informai, meetings and esolved to makem known their views in direct tele- graphic communications.

James Herbert Cryder- man, veteran nierchant of Bow- manville. Few of his great cciee of fmiends had heard of his last illness of but a week or so. Ail summer long he had been up- town almest daiiy, calling at te store he had helped te establish, mentaily alert, keenly interested in discussions with aid friends and able te get about with the aid o! a cane. Because cf his activity and alertness, his passing: came as a shock te the comniunity. Me. Cryderman was always cf a quiet disposition and attentive strictly te business but nothing escaped hini either in community or na- tional affairs; he was always well informed and his opinion on pub- lic a!! airs cften sought. Born at Hampton, Jnly 25th, 1852, son of tee late James and Mrs. Cryderman, pioneers, he had entered his 9Oth year, and friends predicted another happy decade for hîim, but the continued jqJ1ness of his younger son Fred ne deubt weighed heavily upon hlm. His father had predeceased him short- ly before the world wam. After a weil grcunded education at local schools, Me. Cryderman becarne identified with the McClung Bros. store in Bowmanviile where lie was asseciated with tee late W. B. Couch and James Johnston. In 1882, when 30 years cf age, Me. Cryderman joined wite Mr. Concli and Me. Jolinston in establishing the firn cf Couch, Jolinston & Cryderman, dry goods and dlote- ing store. The business has been continucusly under the sanie name and f amuly management ever since. Mm.

He suggested the Hydmo should be more deniocratically contmolled. Mr. Smiith admitted there was $9,000,000,000 dollars in rate stabilization fund at the end of 1940 and that if it became ad- visable to distribute these funds in order to prevent otherwise necessary increase in rates, each municipality will benefit in pro- portion to the amount they had, contibuted.

Grocery stores were in a quan- dary. The chain stores received ne word cf a price beost, but other grocers were told by their wholesaiers that prices were up. "'These large finis are violating the government order that fixed the price cf bread at eight cents," commented the manager cf the Carter Family Bakery. "Lately we have had the processing tax cf 35c on a bag cf flour removed and it would seeni te me there is less reasen than ever for boosting the price."
