Des Moines Girl Was Found Dead in

New Indictment Based Upon Evil

Des Moines, Iowa, JAM 4.-For the third time
week for the murder of Mabel scoheld in Des
Moines in 1890. An indictment has been found
by the grand jury upon evidence which has been

is prosecuted; that Mabel Scofeld died by her
own hand, and that the large reward offered has
been the chief incentive of private detectives to
hound the young man who must now make fight
for his life. -. -.s." - - ~. s.
The remains Of Mabel Scofeld, a pretty girl
from Macksburg, Iowa, were taken from the
Des Moines river in October, 1899. Tracks were
found leading to the river and the affair was
credited as suicide. Miss Scofeld had been
staying at the Thomas homesr Thomas was a
hackdriver with none too good a name.".,~
After the remains had been embalmed the cor
oner of the county gave the girls stomach to
an expert chemist and traces Of !chloral were
discovered. Later it was found that Thomas bad
bought choral at an East Des Moines drug store
and he was placed under arrest. He proved that
he had been driving hack at funeral in VAL
ley Junction at the time the girl was supposed
to have died, and the case was dismissed. A
year later another information was filed and the
case was tried again. It was shown that the
embalming fluid used upon the remains might
have caused traces Of choral In the stomach.
Again the case was dismissed after the state
had produced its evidence in preliminary hear
ing. -
The indictment now found is based upon evil
dence furnished by DR.. w. A. Taylor Of Water
loo, who was in Des Mones at the time Mabel
scofeld died, and who asserts that he was
called by Thomas to attend the girl, but arrived
| too late, and was met by Thomas and told that
he could do no good. DR.. Taylor testifes that
Thomas told him that the girl had been killed
by an accidental overdose Of poison ~ Z {
