Darwin Scott Found Slain In Apartment
Ashland Daily Independent, May 28, 1969
ASHLAND, KENTUCKY - Ex-convict Darwin Morrell Scott, 63, 612 Pollard Rd., was found slain in an
apartment building in Ashland today.
Scott apparently died of knife wounds in the chest, but Ashland Police Chief
Lewis E. Mutters said cause of death has not yet been determined.
Scott served time in the West Virginia State Penitentiary at Moundsville for
a 1963 breaking and entering conviction in Huntington and later in 1963 was
sentenced to two years in prison on federal charges of aiding and abetting in
the forcing and uttering of a postal money order.
He was indicted on the federal charge by a grand jury at Beckley, W. Va.
The charges stemmed from money order thefts at post offices at Greenup and
Dewdrop, Ky., and Perintown in Clermont County, Ohio.
