THE ST. LOUIS STORY.
How DOIIinG Is Said to Have Tried to
nisn nnenr from the Enrth.

from the Earth.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. THE Post-Dispatch
to-day throws light on a mysterious shoot
ing that occurred in St. Louis, on June IA,
1897, and resulted in the death of Elliott /.
Duckworth at Kansas City, Kan, some
time after that. According to the story,
Duckworth came to st. Louis from Spring
field, No., to meet Edward NJ. Dolling, an
Indiana bank cashier, who, in a letter, had
offered the former a remunerative position.
Before meeting DOlling, Duckworth, who
had registered at the Planters Hotel,
strolled out to Forest Park, where he was
later found ON the same day badly wounded,
with a bullet hole in his head and a revolver
lying beside him. 1t was, apparently, a case
of suicide. In the wounded mans pocket
was found a card bearing these words:
II am Edward M. Dolling, of Terre Haute,
Ind. In case of accident
Dolling, it appears, was at that time
wanted for embezzling $50, 1900 from a bank in
a small town near Terre Haute, Ind. lie
disappeared about the time he wrote the
letter to Duckworth, making the St. Louis
appointment with the latter. Douing and
DuckWOrth, who were not acquainted per-
sonally, resembled each other to a remark
able degree. The story goes on to say that
Duckworth was decoyed to this city by
Dolling, and fatally shot, a card put in his
pocket with the latterS name on II, ana
the wounded man passed off on the police
and the public as the missing embezzler.
Duckworth was taken home by his sister,
Mrs. Eva c. Hutchinson, of Hutchinson,
Kan, he having revealed his identity. The
wounded man denied that he had attempted
suicide and said he remembered nothing of
the shooting. Dolling, 1t is said, is still at
large and the police of the Indiana town
and those of st. Louis are searching for
him, one on the charge of embezzlement
and the other for murder.
Mrs. i. W.. Textford, of Springfield. Mo-,
a sister of r. l.. Duckworth, makes public
the following letter. which forms an i'm
portant connecting link in the circumstan-
tial evidence in the case:
'"Terre Haute Ind, June 6. 1897.
ITO Elliott l.. Duckworth, Springfield, MO:
Dear Sir-I have a good position for a
young man of your age in st. Louis. You
have been recommended to me by a. friend
who says Ire thinks you will fill the posi-
ton admirably. If you think you would like
a good position, one in which you would be
given an opportunity to rise, / will talk
with you. If you decide to investigate my
offer, meet ne at the Planters Hotel, st.
Louis, at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of June
IA. Write me, addressing me in care of the
Planters Hotel, st. Louis. Hoping for a
favorable answer, 1 remain your sincere
friend ard well wisher.
"E. L. DOLLING."

DuckwOrth Was Murdered.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
HUTCHINSON, Kan, Dec. Mrs. Eva
c. Hutchinson, of this city, said tonight
that there was not the slightest doubt in
her mind that her brother. Elliott Duck
worth, was killed by Edward Dolling.
about a year before Elliott was shot,
she said, che worked several months at
Terre Haute, Ind, and it was no doubt then
that boiling saw him and recognized the
striking resemblance TO himself. On the day
before he went to St. Louis Elliott was in
Nichols Junction, Mo. He was there APP
preached by a strange who handed him a
letter addressed to Elliott L. Duckworth
letter requesting Duckworth to come to st.
Louis. Elliott told the strange he did not
have the money to buy a ticket to st. Louis.
L will furnish that said the man, and
Dolling will pay me back He then asked If
Elliott had a revolver and afterward bought
it. 1t was the weapon Elliott was shot
with. Elliott told me after he was shot he
was sure that the stranger was Dolltng or
his agent, and had followed him to ST. Louis
by the next train, shadowing him there UNI
I'll the opportunity came to do the shoot
ing. The whole affair was evidently planned
months before, and Dolling had obtained
knowledge Of Elliott'S whereabouts. This
is the true story of the affair. Elliott told
me he saw neither Dolling nor the nan who
searched him out at Nichols Junction after
reaching St. Louis. He was Of a cheerful
disposition and was the last person to at
tempt suicide. Elliott's resemblance to
Dolling was so great that If he had not re-
Vived Dolling's plan would have been sue
~cessful and Dolling's friends would have
identified the corpse as that of the missing
embeZZler."
