MOTIVE FOR MURDER
Dan Williams First Husband of
Mrs. Tunan, Killed
at Muscatine.
LATEST CLUE IN DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Former Wife Located by Accident,
Revenge Prompts
Crime.

\ gentleman residing only n short
distance from Muscatine has given out
some valuable information about the
man Williams, who is badly wanted
by the authorities for the murder of
Mr.. and Mrs. Tuman. He states he
has known both parties for many
years. Although he claims it is over
ten years since he has seen Williams,
he gives a most accurate description
of the man. as he also does of the wo-
man. According to his statement
Williams was the first husband of
Mrs. Tuman, the parties being mar
ried at New Boston about twenty
years ago. He claims that a son was
born to the couple about year later.
and the boy is still alive. He also
gives information which proves be-
You'd douot that he is well acquaint-
ed with all of Mrs. Humans family.
whose names were Hand, and knows
their family history. Mrs. Humans
mother is now residing at the county
farm near Muscatine. 1t has been
learned that when Mrs. Tuman mar
ried Ed Cross, who was supposed 10
have been her first husband, she had
Il son of illegitimate birth, she claim
ing she had never married before.
Murders for Revenge
So thoroughly impressed are they
with the statements made by this,
man the men working on the case
have taken different view as to the
cause of the murder. They are now
of the opinion that Williams, who had
possibly lost track of his wife, locat-
ed her by accident, and out of re-
Venge, for some unknown cause, had
decided to murder the couple.
On the night the murder was dis
covered, the farmers stated that 1t
had been noticed by many that while
the Humans were camping on the
river front there was great intim1-
cy between Williams and Mrs. Tu-
man; that while Tuman was at work
on the river gathering shells, VIII
liams would always stay at the camp,
giving as his reason that he was
afraid of the water and never liked
to get into a boat.
