George Axtell

Chenango Union, October 7, 1886

The verdict of the Coroner's jury in the case of George Axtell, the Deposit murderer, who died suddenly in the Binghamton [Broome Co., NY] jail on Tuesday afternoon of last week, found that his death resulted from natural causes. The unanimous testimony of the physicians in attendance was that death was produced by a fit, probably epileptic, superinduced by the long continued nervous strain under which he had labored.  Prof. H.L. Griffis, of the Binghamton High School, made an analysis of the stomach, and could detect no poison.  Axtell's funeral was held at the school house in Barbourville (his former home) on Thursday afternoon. Rev. E.L. Allen, pastor of the Methodist church in Deposit, officiated.  Over three hundred people were present. The remains were interred in the cemetery in the immediate neighborhood.

Gallup, a Baptist clergyman of Homer [Cortland Co., NY] was found dead in a barn in the rear of the Martin House, in Ithaca [Tompkins co., NY], on the morning of the 26th ult.  He was discovered early in the morning, by an employee of the place, his feet entangled in the spring and brake of a canopy top platform wagon, his head reclining on the floor in a pool of blood. The features of the dead man were terribly distorted and bruised.  Deceased had been on a spree of some days, and it is a question whether he died in an alcoholic fit, or whether there was foul play connected with his death.
