"Funeral Of Olds Is To Be Held This Afternoon"
"Will Close Last Chapter Of Sensational Murder Case"
"Regret Expressed"
"That He Was Not Allowed To Tell Of Goswick Girls"
The funeral of Kiingsley Olds, accused of murdering Myrtle and Lou Goswick, and who was assassinated as he lay sleeping in a cell in the county jail Sunday morning will be held today at 2:00 p.m.
The funeral services will be held at the Jones Undertaking parlors.
The burial of Olds will undoubtedly close the last chapter in what has been one of the most sensational murders which has ever occurred in Gila county. With Olds will be buried the secret of the mystery surrounding the death of the two Goswick girls.
While but little sympathy has been expressed for the man who was murdered by the hidden assassin while he lay asleep, thee appears to be a universal regret that Olds was not allowed to give all the information which is generally believed he could have given before his death came as a result of that shot in the dark.
