Oct. 5, 1923: Suspect foul play

Foul play is suspected in the death of the Nugent brothers, in the fire which destroyed the White Apartments in Republic last week. It
is claimed that the Nugents had in the neighborhood of $750 on their persons just prior to the fire, that they had more than 20 minutes in which to leave the apartment had they been able to do so, and that none of the money could be found after the fire. According to two other brothers who came to Republic from Inchelium after the bodies, the dead brothers were at the time of their death, on their way north after a load of booze, the money which they carried being intended for its purchase.
