THREE ARE HELD IN MAN'S DEATH NEAR MANASSAS
Manassas, Va., Aug. 27 -- State and county officers early today found the beaten body of Richard Cornwell, about 60, at his home seven miles south of here.
Three persons later were arrested and charged with murder. They were identified by Commonwealth's Attorney Stanley A. Owens as Richard Watson, Andrew Cornwell and Mrs. Mary Watson, all of Prince William County.
Owens said Cornwell apparently died of the effects of a beating he suffered yesterday during an altercation with the arrested trio. The prosecutor said he had asked for an autopsy to determine the definite cause of Cornwell's death.
Owens said he was told by Harvey Cornwell, a brother of the dead man who lived in the house with him, that the victim had been struck during a fight with Watson, Andrew Cornwell and Mrs. Watson.
