A REPEATING STORY

A REPEATING STORY.
After John Doran's death there were
many people who believed a yarn that ne
Was not dead at ALL and that the funeral
was a mock one. When Harry St John
q Oklahoma City. died while under indict-
aent for murder, a great horde Of people
Insisted that he was not dead. The Wich-
IA suspicion has been copied st Emporia
n the Cross case, as the following from
the Emporia Gazette will show:
Have you heard the fool story that
Charley Cross IS no. dead? Wen, it's
around Out in the country there are
hundreds of people who honestly believe
that Charley Cross Is living and that the
town people all know it and are concealing
The truth 20 fool the farmers.
The other day depositor came 70 Carl
Sauweg's window in the First National
and. after proving Up his claim, the depos-
tor began 70 cuss Carl Ike a pirate, calling
Ain a swindIer and a robber and incident
ally q few fighting words. Then a. the
climax, the farmer asked: Were YOU a
0s}I bearer at Cross funeraI2'' Sarl admit
ted that he was. The customer returned:
DID YOU see Cross after he was brought
homer" Carl admitted that he did not and
offered some excuse, but the fellow got red
II the face and began gloating over his
discovery. "es sir: I told them so; that's
what I said. Charley Cross isn't dead. He
Just sent TO New York for 4 wax figure
and fixed it up ike Cross and bought up
-he coroner and newspapers and SET out
q swindIe the farmers"
l. 4. Wood and Al. Lowry say that The
story is believed around Americas. The
story up there IS that Cross mas been seen
n Colorado and that the ne Insurance
people won't pay the premiums without
eXhuming his body. Another story says
that a committee Of the depositors has
already opened Cross grave and found
nothing but q log Of wood in the coffin
And al thee stories have arisen from
-he fact that the Cross family used COM
ruendable taste and refused 70 allow a
crowd OF curious strangers 70 satisfy an
abnormal curiosity by gaping at poor
Charley Cross dead face.
At least hundred people saw Charley
Cross after he was dead. Half a dozen
doctors examined the wound profession
ally. The life insurance companies have
paid Sz5,0oo in life insurance. The. coroner
has certified to his death.
Why there ara people allowed to live
who are credui7us enough 10 believe that
Charley Cross IS alive. heaven. that holds
the fool killer from his duty, only knows.
