Obituary- Henry, Jesse

FORMER ROSSVILLE BOY
MURDERED IN COLORADO

Jesse Henry, 36, was killed at Salida, Colorado late Wednesday afternoon, April 17, by Danny Theotokatis, 45, a former pool hall proprietor at Salida. The killing came as a climax to a quarrel between Henry and Theotokatis in the latter’s home Henry was stabbed three times, once a deep wound in the left thigh, the second a slight wound in the left breast, and the third a thrust thru the heart. Henry reeled to the middle of the street and fell dead.

Theotokatis claims he fought in self-defense. At midnight of the same day a son was born to the widow of the slain man. Besides the widow and infant son, two other children, Delbert 5, and Virginia 2, survive. Mr. Henry was unemployed. The family had resided at Salida about six years.

Theotokatis was arrested late the evening of the murder at Leadville where had fled following the quarrel.

Jesse was the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse (Cooper) Henry, formerly of this city who now live at Oakwood, Okla. The family— more generally known as Cooper, left here about 20 years ago. Mrs. Cooper was the daughter of the late Milton Osborn.
