Crimes Of Murderer ALLEN Capt.
ured at Lynden.
ne WAS 4 oEEp-DyED VILLAIN.


Samuel Allen, the Wisconsin murderer
captured ct Lynden. Whatcom county. last
week by Sheriff Paine, OF Clark county,
Wis. and kept in the couu ty jail of King
county for several days, appears 70 be even
deeper-dyed villain than his captor made
him out to be while here. A letter from
Neillsville. Wis.,, tells the following story
concerning the murderer.
Aliens crime was committed In the
town of Loyal. Clark county, Wis.,. on the
10th of May. 1856 Allen. who was . we'll
TODD farmer with a much esteemed wife
and family. became enamoured Of Mrs.
Wright, q neighboring farmers wife Mrs.
Wrights husband died very suddenly, and
post-mortem examination disclosed the
fact that he had been poisoned. Mrs.
Wright then made confession that Allen
had fed arsenic to Wright in small doses
until the latter died. Size said that Allen
had promised 10 marry her rs soon as he
could make way with his wife and Mrs.
Wright could kill her husband. Mrs
Allen had been sick for some time and after
Allen Is arrest the medicine she was taking
was found 10 contain poison. supposed TO
have been placed therei n by Allen. Aliens
trial and conviction were followed by q
motion for new trial It was oyerruled
and Allen was in Jail awaiting sentence
when he escaped On the morning of May
rs. lss7. when Sheriff Dryer went to the
jail he discovered thst Allen had escaped.
Two fire escape doors leading from the
prisoners cell to the street had been mys-
teriously unlocked dnring the night, and
Allen. finding his why clear, walked out
1t afterward developed that Mrs. Wright
stole the key to the doors, slid il down q
waterspout from her room on the second
floor to where AlleT. could reach it, and
thus enabled him to reach the woods. He
struck across the country, finally coming
to Washington. A lien made desperate
effort TO throw the officers off his track by
causing letter TO be mailed at Sydney,
Australia, saying that one Dan Allen,
Neillsville, Wis, T. s. A.. murderer. had
died at little towri in the interior, after
confessing his or ime. The story was
traced down by state department officials
and shown to be false. Mrs. Wright, who
confessed that she, conspired with Allen to
murder her husband, is living in Michigan.
The case against her was dropped.
