tain what the graves contained.


It became necessary for the ante
cedents Of Richardson and his gener-
al plan to be traced, and one of the
detectives, assuming the name of w.
J. Gray, went to Dallas, where he op-
ened an office and pretended to be a
dealer in lumber lands. Richardson,
he learned, was one of the city's high
flyers" spending more money than his
insurance income warranted, fond of
fast horses and automobiles Just as
Gray arrived Richardson and his wife
went to Hot Springs, Ark, and there
Gray with his wife and 5-year-old son,
also went. It was the boy that brought
about the acquaintance of the two
men. Richardson stopped to talk to
him one day, and the child, who had
been coached by his father, at once
told of his papa being in the lumber
business in Dallas.
Richardson's first proposition to
Gray was that he should insure him.
Gray demurred and finally said he had
a brother i'll from consumption and
diabetes who needed insurance. Rich
ardon said the brother should be sent
for, as he knew doctors who could
be bribed to pass anybody" A man
was sent from St. Louis actually ill.
He was known as ]. H. Evans. He
has since died. Richardson got Evans
to sign his name to an application
for a $4,000 policy, mentioning the
supposed Gray's wife as the benefic-
larry, the understanding being that the
proceeds should be shared. A "dum-
my" was sent before the physician
for examination. The policy went
through in record time.
Then Gray swore Richardson pro-
posed to him that they go into the
business of insuring persons at the
point of death. Gray later agreed to
take out policy of $4,000 under the
name of Sanguinette, making Mason
who posed as his son for the purpose
his beneficiary.

AMERICANS TO
PAY PENALTY
LIFE INSURANCE sWlNDLERs
WHO COMMITTED MURDER IN
OLD MEXICO.

New York, Dec. 11.-Dispatcnes from !!
Chihuahua, Mexico, announce that !,
Leslie E. Hubert, William Mitchell
and DR.. G. s. Harle have been SEN
fenced to death for murder and that
only last scene remains to be shown
"a detail or rurales, facing three
blindfolded men, backed against an
auobe wall in the early morning-tol
ring down one of the most dramatic
OF life insurance tragedies.
hubert, Mitchell and Harle are con-
victed of the murder by poison of
Harry Mitchell. half brother of William
Mitchell and brotner-in-law of Hubert,
and James Devers, in 1902, whereby
they obtained $4,000 on two policies,
of $4,000 and 100000 each. The two
murders, it was asserted at the trial,
We're to have been the first of many
similar crimes along the Mexican bor-
der, whereby it was hoped to obtain
at least 100000 from the big COM
panies.
Hubert has been condemned to
death under the name of G. T. Rich
ardson, while Mitchell's name is put
down as Mason.
How He Started.
1t was in 1901, that man giving
his name as G. Richardson, saying
lie was ust out of college and wanted
to settle along the border, obtained the
appointment as local agent of the in
surance company at Chihuhua. He
was accompanied by his wife, and
built an adobe home on the outskirts
of the city, across the street from a
cemetery. At his request, DR.. G. S.
Harle, we'll known young physician,
was appointed his examiner. DR.. Harle
is member of an old Texas family
His wife is the neice of wealthy
cattleman
Richardson was successful as an In
surance solicitor. He wrote many pol
icies for varying amount and was
lookde upon with favor by the general
agents of the company. He finally OBJ
tanned an agency in Dallas, where he
lived in style. Richardson, or HUI
bert, wrote to the company in August
1902 from Dallas asking for some
special privilege, the detail of which
is unimportane. but when the letter
came to this city it fell into the hands
of a clerk who had been directed tC
lcok up the official record of Richard
SOL as an agent. The first thing he
saw was that the company had pait
death claim of $4,000 on Harry
Mitchell policy, Mitchell having dice
o. February II, and that II days later
one James Devers, who had policy
of $15O,OOO had died; that Richardson
was the agent in both cases, Harle
the physician, one Mason the benefc
iary in the first case and one Willis
Meredith in the second case. Just 81,
months before life insurance compan
: les of New York City had discovered
they had paid death claims in Mexico
on collins full of rocks, and the young
clerk on an impulse, took the RECORD
. an hour later the investigation which
an officer of the company. Less thar
ended with the sentence of death hat
begun.
{ Harry H. Bottome, an attorney fo
. the company, was ordered to taxi
charge. The first step was to ascer
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1905-12-12

Detectives by this time were never
far from Richardson and Mason, and
taey swore they heard the two convers.
ing in the lobby of an Ell Paso hotel,
in which they were congratulating
themselves on the ease with which
they caught Gray. 1--WE won't do a
the line" was remark sworn to.
That was enough for the detectives.
Bodies Are Examined.
With the men arrested, Mr.. Bot
tome had the authorities exhume the
bodies of Harry Mitchell and Devers.
Analysis disclosed the presence of
strychnine in the stomachs of both,
while in addition there were traces of
bichloride of mercury in that of Dew
ers. A tintype photograph of three
men and woman, found in the pos
session of the prisoners, and the word
Rochester, accidentally dropped by
one of them led to the Identification
of Richardson as Hubert, the fugi-
tive lawyer; Mason as William Mitch
ell and Henry Mitchell as his half
brother.
DR.. Harle confessed when confront
ed by the evidence.
The men were taken into Mexico
in 1908, and they nave been on trial
practically continuously ever since.
The Mexican law allows a defendant
to take any point ruled against him up
to the highest court at any stage of
the trial, and Hubert, who pleaded
his own case, has taken advantage of
that law constantly. According to Mr..
Bottome there is no point for appeal
now except the actual sentence, and
that can be passed upon within few
weeks. 1t is expected the men will
be shot before Jan. l.
