Boy And Girl Found Dead In Parked Auto
FARM WORKMEN MAKE DISCOVERY NOTIFY POLICE
A. L. Knowles, 18, June Longerbeam, 16, Had Been Missing Since Sunday
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING WAS CAUSE
The bodies of a Frederick high school senior and her youthful
boyfriend were found embraced in death on the seat of a five-year-old
coupe on a little used road near Libertytown early Monday afternoon.
An autopsy performed here last night revealed that Miss June
Longerbeam, 16, Libertytown, and A. Luther Knowles, 18, Buckeyestown,
died some time Sunday night when they were accidentally overcome by
carbon monoxide fumes. The autopsy, performed by Dr. Henry L.
Willenweber, assistant State medical examiner of Baltimore, in the
presence of Frederick county medical examiner and Corporal Walter K.
May of the State Police, discounted earlier reports that circulated
through the city that the young couple had died in a suicide pact.
The autopsy failed to reveal any trace ofpoison or foul play, but
clearly indicated death from carbon monoxide poisoning. As officials
described the accident; last night, Knowles and Miss Longerbeam, were
parked in the former's 1936 Chevrolet coupe on a little used road a
mile and a half east of Libertytown on the highway to Unionville.
In order to keep warm, authorities said, the couple apparently left
the motor running and the deadly fumes overpowered them. It was
explained by the medical examiner that carbon monoxide fumes are
treacherous in that they are oderless and lethal in their effect.
He expressed the opinioin that Knowles and Miss Longerbeam were
unaware of their danger. Corporal May said the ignition of the
automobile was turned on and the gasoline tank was dry. A heater
under the dash had not been in operation, the officer said. The
unclad bodies were discovered shortly after 1 o'clock Monday
afternoon by "Bud" Smith and Earl Garber, Libertytown, who were
plowing in a nearby field. Garber had noticed the parked car earlier
in the day when he delivered his milk in Unionville, but did not
investigate until several hours later when he noted that the machine
had not been moved. The place where the machine was parked is a
section of highway that was abandoned to eliminate a curve when the
present road to Unionville was constructed. It was hidden from the
main road by a bank. It adjoins the Harry Lowman farm. Garber
notified State Police headquarters here and Corporal May went to the
scene. An ambulance was summoned and the bodies were removed to the
Harry E. Carty Company funeral home, 54 East Patrick street, where
the autopsies were held. The county medical examiner who accompanied
the State trooper to the scene, declined to give a verdict until an
autopsy was held. As examination of the bodies failed to reveal any
marks of violence a theory of murder was immediately discounted.
Officials declined to rule out a suicide pact, however, until the
autopsy report was studied. Dr. Willenweber was summoned from
Baltimore and performed autopsies on both bodies. There was no
evidence that the couple had been drinking. The couple was last
seen about 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon when Knowles, who had been
"dating" Miss Longerbeam for sometime, called at her home on the
James Sappington of S. farm near Libertytown. When Knowles failed
to return home Sunday night his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Luther
Knowles, Buckeyestown, called the State Police in an effort to learn
if their son had been in an automobile accident. It is understood
he had been in an automobile accident sometime ago. When no accident
report was recieved on the young man, a broadcast was made to York,
Pa, on the supposition that he might be there. Miss Longerbeam's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. Lester Longerbeam, are said to have had a
description of their daughter broadcast by radio in an attempt to
learn her whereabouts when she failed to return home. Miss
Longerbeam, an attractive brunette, was a senior at Frederick high
school and was well-known. She was born in Percellville, Va., a
daughter of Lester and Lola Starkey Longerbeam, and had resided with
her parents in Brunswick and on a farm on the Ballanger Creek road
before moving with them two years ago to Libertytown. Her father is
a tenant on the Sappington farm. She is survived by her parents, and
two sisters, Mrs. Frances Staub, Loudoun County, Virginia, and Mrs.
Georgia Dean, Washington. Funeral arrangements will be announced
later. Knowles was graduated from Frederick high school last June
as since that time had been employed as a bookkeeper by the m. J.
Grove Lime Company at Lime Kiln. He was described as an efficient
employe. He was a son of A. Luther Knowles and Mrs. Clover Keith
Knowles, tenants on the Baker farm, Buckeyestown. He was born at
Warsaw, Coshocton Co., Ohio and had resided in Buckeystown five
years. He was a member of the Sunday school of the Buckeyestown
Methodist church. Surviving are his parents and one sister,
Elizabeth Keith Knowles, at home. Funeral arrangements will be
announce later. The Harry E. Carty Company is the funeral director. 1 CONC
