In this episode you'll get to read about "The Corpse in Coffee Creek" : CHARLES SALWAY SLOWLY MADE HIS way home across the small culvert over Coffee Creek. His farm was just outside Mesopotamia, Ohio, and almost daily he walked down State Road 57 and crossed the creek to get to his field.
This afternoon of September 24th, 1936, there was an autumn tang in the air. It would not be long before frost would be on the ground and farming would be over for the season. He, his wife and his father had put in a good day's work out there—the sort of work that gave a man an appetite and made him think longingly of his fireside and slippers.
Salway leaned for a moment on the rail, waiting for the others to catch up to him. Maybe next day he would bring out his fishing tackle and try his luck. Sometimes a man could get a pretty good string out of Coffee Creek.
The farmer's eyes focused sharply. Directly underneath was an odd looking object. As the man's family joined him at the railing, he pointed, wordlessly, to the bobbing horror in the water. Mrs. Salway gasped.
"What is it, Charles?" she asked.
Her husband was still staring. "It looks like a man," he whispered.
Mrs. Salway shuddered. "A man? But where is the rest of him?"
The farmer gulped. "It looks like it's just his head down there."
His father nodded. "Yes, I don't see anybody."
The trio noted the closed eyes, and the purple, blotched face. Leaving the older man to keep watch at the culvert; young Salway raced for a telephone. "There's a dead man out near my farm on Route 57," he told the police.
That's The case of the two men who loved one girl and one ended up loosing his life.
