BROADENING IN SCOPE

Seattle. Wash. July 13.-Immedi-
ately after the arrest of Esther Mitch
ell, the 17-year- girl who killed
her brother George here last night,
Mrs. Maud Creffield, widow of the
"Holy Rollers" prophet whom George
Mitchell recently killed, was taken
into custody, charged with being an
accomplice of Miss Mitchell in the
murder Mrs. Creffield frankly ad-
mitted that she had entered into a
compact with Esther to kill the slay-
er of her husband. George Mitchell
was acquitted of the charge of murder
Tuesday on the plea that Creffield had
wronged his sister
The Mitchells, George, Perry and
Fred, were sitting with Esther on a
bench in the big waiting room, talking
together and apparently on the best
of terms. When the Oregon train
was announced George Mitchell rose
and started forward. His sister slip
ped to his side and, pressing a revolv-
er close TO his head. pulled the trig-
ger before anyone had realized what
was happening.
Esther Mitchell is the sister, to
avenge whose treatment George shot
Creffeld. She has refused to have
anything to do with her brother since
the shooting. Today was the first
time they had been seen together on
good terms.
Esther Mitchell and Mrs. Creffield
widow of the deceased Holy Roller"
today announced their intention of
making Seattle their home The two
women took small apartments here,
and sold their witness certificates
TO raise funds. and had apparently
made up their minds to remain in Sc
attic.
