shaft.
Mrs. Cora Stafeback, wife of George,
and two other inmates of the house
gave testimony as to the murder, and
from these witnesses evidence of an
other triple murder at Gala has been
secured. The story is that two girls
from Western Kansas were visiting at
the Wilson dive, accompanied by an
acquaintance. Mike Stafleback, an
other son of the Wilson woman, who is
now in Jail charged with burglary, be-
came enraged on account of jealousy,
