when building his house in Fountain, Colorado. The murder happened in the 1800s. The board was found when the house was remodeled.

Wow. That is crazy. I wonder if it was kind of like the Tell-Tale Heart and ate him up the entire time he lived there. Hope so for the victim's sake.

Wow indeed. What a crazy story!
It says Shuffle off this mortal coil, not act. It's from Shakespeare's Hamlet. I'm surprised they got that wrong.

That is right down the interstate from me a few miles. I often go there bird watching. I moved here that year after they found that in the house and I have never heard this story.

I lived in Colorado Springs for a few months before moving to Palmer Lake and then Guffey (I had a Cripple Creek phone number). Apparently it was put into the museum about 2 years after I left Colorado and moved back to the mountains in Land of Enchantment. |

That was a LOT of money (about 175,000 dollars.)
Wonder how he spent it with no one noticing?
