Still a Mystery.
The Kent case over in Mandan re-
mains a much of a mystery as ever, and
seems no nearer of solution than when
the killing Of Mrs. Kent occurred. The
%coroner's jury held an adjourned meet
ing a day or so ago, but nothing new
was developed, and they adjourned
again, unable to render a verdict until
more testimony should be adduced. The
hired man, at whose hands Mrs. Kent
met her death, is still in Jail, awaiting
the result of the inquest. Kent, the hus-
band of the deceased woman, is still
missing, and there are no traces of his
whereabouts, and altogether, the case is
a puzzling n
AS mentioned a day or SO ago, it is
said the Laird's have employed detec-
tives to look into the matter, and clear
up the mystery, if it is possible. 1t Is
said also, that one of them is Hoy, the
Minneapolis man who captured Floyds,
and that he is on Kent's trail. Those
who are interested in the case, hope,
either to capture Kent, and discover the
facts in the case from him, or to secure
a confession from the hired man, if there
was foul play. It is earnestly hoped in
Mandan that the case may be cleared
up, satisfactorily, and that justice may
be done, if there was anything premedi-
tated in the death of Mrs. Kent.
The st. Paul Globe has the following
to say of the affair:
Detective John Hoy returned yesterday
from Fergus Falls, where he went at the
solicitation of Mayor Eustis and others to
investigate the killing of Mrs. Myron
Kent, who was shot at her home near Man
dan a few weeks ago. Mrs. Kent was a
sister of Frank Laird, Of the John Martin
Lumber company, OF this city, and the
latter accompanied Mr.. Hoy on the "Trip.
1t will be remembered that the unfortu-
nate woman was shot, it is claimed acct
dentally, by a farm hand named Thomas
Sundenosky, who was employed on the
place. During the nighttime latter aroused
Mrs. Kent, saying that burglars were try
ing to break into the house. Mrs. Kent
arose., and Sundenosky seized a gun, which
in some amer was discharged, the
former being almost instantly killed. The
singular feature Of the affair is that there
was no evidence of attempted burglary,
and on the night OF the shooting MIR. Kent,
who was known as an insurance and bust
ness man, disappeared, and has not yet
been seen.
A sensational and startling theory is
now advanced to the effect that the killing

and that Sundenosky was only the miser-
able tool employed to carry out the in.
famous plot. 1t appears that Kent and his
wife had had trouble of a financial and
domestic nature, and since the death of
the latter a number of facts have come to
light regarding the previous history of
Kent. 1t appears that Kent had a wife
and child living in England and that be
fed from that country, being driven out as
a swindler. At the time OF his marriage
to Miss Laird these facts were not known,
but the knowledge wa subsequently con-
veyed to her through the efforts Of the de-
serted wife to locate her husband. 1t is
further stated that Kent was regarded as a
confidence man. and, taking all the facts
into consideration, together with his sud-
den disappearance, goes to form the theory
circumstantially that adastardly crime has
been committed.
