FOUND DEAD IN BED
Sudden Death of Robert Lee Tawes At Crisfield — Probably Strangled In The Night.
[Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.]
CRISFIELD, MD., Nov. 14. — Robert Lee Tawes, twenty-two years of age, son of J. P. Tawes, of Crisfield, was found dead in bed this morning. He went to bed last night in apparently good health, setting an alarm clock on a chair by his bed to arouse him early in the morning. This morning Morris, his younger brother, called to his mother, stating that Bob would not get in the bed right. Mrs. Tawes went immediately into the room and was shocked to find her son lying with his feet in the bed and his body resting upon the chair with bruises upon his face. She at once ran to him and did all in her power to restore him to consciousness, but without success. A physician was at once summoned, but life was extinct and he could do nothing. It is supposed that the young man had a fit during the night and was strangled.
