named Evans and not by the visiting man and
woman. The woman who came to the jail with
Goodwin's brother proves to be one Kate
Sample, an abandoned woman of the oil re-
gions. She was acquainted with Evans, who
was convicted of manslaughter recently and
has another indictment pending against him:
The jailor appears to have been indiscreet
enough to permit the victim and woman to
visit Evans cell. The two men, Goodwin and
Evans, then quarrelled about the woman and
in the ensuing fight Evans stabbed Goodwin
through the heart. A knife covered with
blood has been found in Evans cell. The
brother of Goodwin has been discharged, but
the woman is held as accessory to the murder
