The Yale Expositor
(St. Clair County, MI)
November 30, 1894


              MRS. EPHRAIM MADDOCK left the bakery of Toynton &
            Kudner, at Pontiac, at 10 o'clock at night, with a
            loaf of bread. She lived in a cottage in the eastern
            portion of the city, quite a distance from the busi-
            ness section. She passed down Huron street, east to
            Mechanic street, where she was found dead, lying on
            her face in a pool of blood. The body was taken to
            the home of her daughter and an autopsy was held,
            which disclosed a wound made by a blunt instrument
            which penetrated the scalp, and produced an exten-
            sive fracture of the left side of the skull, four
            inches back of the left ear a wound sufficient to
            produce instant death.
              In paying for the bread she had taken a wallet
            from her pocket, and the theory is that this
            action was observed by some one who thought she
            had considerable money, and that the motive for
            the hellish deed was robbery. Her children say
            she had a little money in the purse and when the
            body was examined the purse was missing. The
            deceased was 68 years of age and lived peaceably
            with her husband. She leaves six children.
