A FIEND's CoNFESsIoN.-N. j. Viii
lars was brought to the Cass county,
N. D., Jail yesterday by Sheriff Eddy,
of Stutsman county. The sheriff left
jamestown with his prisoner just in ad-
vance of mob which was on its way
to take him from jail and lyncn MIN.
On the way to Fargo Villars confess d
to the horrible crime with which he is
charged. Tuesday evening ne went to
the farm of Mrs. Framer, in Montpelier
township, Stutsman county. Mrs.
Framer saw him at the barn and went
out When she approached, Villars
knocked her down with club and
beat her into insensibility. He dragged
her into the barn and assaulted her,
then threw her into the well in the
barn, set the barn on fire and left. The
barn burned to the ground, but Mrs.
Framer, who still was alive, escaped
death in the well. Toward morning
she managed to climb out of the well
and got to the house. Taking her
children with her, she crawled on her
hands and knees to neighbor, two
miles away, and died after telling her
story. yillars was captured at Valley
City and taken to jamestown by
Sheriff Stenshoel. He is one of the old
est farmers in Stutsman county, and has
highly respectable family. A large
mob gathered at Montpelier and start
ed for Jamestown to lynch him, but
Sheriff Eddy heard of their coming in
time to escape. Villars last night con-
fessed another crime. A month ago
Mrs. Framer's husband mysteriously
disappeared. Villars gays he killed
Framer, and that his body will be found
buried in 8 pile of manure back of the
barn.
