"Double Murder In Mingo County"
"William (UPI)- Questioning continued here today in the investigation of a double murder early Thursday
morning.
" Killed were two elderly men who resided in a local rooming house. Both were stabbed to death, police said,
one suffering eight stab wounds and the other four.
" The victims were identified as John Dunn, 64, a native of Stone, Ky., and John Burgraff, 72, a native of
Ironton, Ohio.
"Police said they questioned a 21 -year-old man for about 90 minutes Thursday night, then released him.
"Robbery was believed the motive of the killings, police said. The adjoining rooms of the two men had been
ransacked, apparently in search of the large sums of money the men reportedly kept."
