Cicero Jefferson, one of the parties arrested
for the hanging Of the old man Jefferson, in
Audubon county, Iowa, has made confession,
duplicating himself, smythe and Wilson in the
hanging. The two latter are sons-in-law of the
murdered man. Young J Jefferson saysthat VIII
son was the leader in the movement The mo-
tive for the crime is that some time since the
murdered man had been accused of incest with
one of his daughters, who is now Wilson'S wife.
The Cicero's testimony comedies exactly with
that of Mrs. Jefferson at the inquest rela-
tive to the scene the night of the murder.
1t is stated upon good authority that J. ]. Viii
son bears a good name and character in Car
rol county. 1t seems his marriage with
Lucy Jefferson was brought about through the
influence of John A. Smythe. They were mar
ried Feb. IA, 1857. Cicro's statement is that
Immediately after marriage Wilson suspected
that she had not always been virtuous, and so
he accused her, when she frankly admitted
she had repeatedly had sexual intercourse with
her father, through compulsion, and that she
had once been in trouble by him. This cnraged
Wilson, and he said he would either leave her
or kill the old man. She wanted him to do
neither. He consulted John Smythe, and the
tragedy Of Friday night was the result OF the
consultation. Many believe Smythe was the
real party who got the girl, or girls, in trouble,
and caused them to charge it to the old man.
