CASE LIKE TESTERS.
BOTH MURDERS WERE COMMIT.
TED IN MONROE co, MO.
BOTH VICTIMS WERE YOUNG,
Parallel Even Goes to characteristics
of abe Witherup, Who Has Con-
fessed and Is Defendant in
Celebrated Cause.

PARIS, Mo-, April 26.-The Grow
murder ease is developing into one Of
the most grewsome crimes in the
history Of the State, bearing a strlk-
ing similarity to the Jester case Of
this county.
Grow was a yoang mar and Abe
Witnerup, like Jester, is a man Of IS,
a pensioner and comes from Kansas.
Local attorneys, among them James
II, Whitecotton, speaker OF the
House in the General Assembly, hav-
ing refused to defend Witherup, be
sent for Prosecuting Attorney Nc
Allister~ yesterday and made a detailed
confession.
Grow and Witherup were cropping
together on GO acres Of land among the
river hills in the northern part Of
Monroe county. They lived in a
house situated some distance from the
road.
No<one paid any attention to them
until Crows body was found floating
in the river, where il had been al.
most a week. It was mutilated
about the head.
In his confession, Witherup says he
and Grow quarreled over a question OF
rent and that in a fit Of rage, be kill
ed Grow with a Ratchet, striking him
repeatedly about the head.
This was on Thursday night Of last
week. On that same night he hitch,
ed up a two-horse road wagon and
hauled the body OF his victim three
miles to the river, throwing it intc
the river with the Ratchet. He re
turned and began to remove the eyi.
dences Of the crime, sweeping up the
blood from the floor, washing it from
the wall and cniseling it from tht
bottom OF the wagon bed.
Next day he went to M0uroe City.
bought a can Of red paint and tiled
to cover over the blood stains with il
He painted the broom handle and th,
rocking chair which the body Eel
into.
He remained at the scene Of th'
crime until Thursday, when he wenI
to the home Of the boys parents neal
Paris TO tell them their son wa
missing
He was arrested while at dinner II
the Grow home. When examined a.
the jail his undeTclothing was founl
10 be stained with blood.
Investigations are on foot b shop
that Witherur is twice a murderer.
1t has been known 20 the local au
thorities for several years that Wither
up was suspected Of killing a boy nea.
Medicine Lodge, Kan, under almos.
Identical circumstances, the two hay
ing cropped together. The evidene.
was never sufficient to demand
requisition but his second wife, Mrs
Miller, who secured a divorce From
him about a year ago, told SheFii
clark that he had confessed to her.
WitheFup is a tall, raw-b0ned mar
with a short, stubby blonde beard G
recent growth. He weighs about IS
pounds.
His conduct is nervous, his fac
furtiye and his light blue eyes evasiF
and restless. There is about him
certain though indeinable ~suggestio.
