ADDS MURDER To
HER OTHER SINS
Esther Mitchell Shoots and
Kills Her Brother. Slayer
of Creffield.
Youno Man Had Just Been Acquired
of the Murder Of the Leader OF the
Holy Rollers, and 10 Slain py
the One Whom He Sought TO
Protect.

Seattle. Wash-Esther Mitcneli
shot and instantly killed her brotner'
George Mitchell, Thursday afternoon
In the waiting room Of the union depot.
The shot was fired Just as Mitchell
rose to take the evening train Tor Ore
gon. The brother, who was acquitted
Tuesday of killing Franz Edmund
Crefield. the leader Of the Holy Roll
ers. dropped in his tracks. Esther
Mitchell was at once arrested.
The Mitchells-George, Perry and
Fred-were sitting with Esther on q
bench in the big waiting room talking
together and apparently on the best OF
terms. When the Oregon train was
announced, George Mitchell arose and
started forward. His sister stepped
to his side, and pressing the revolver
close to his head, pulled the trigger
before any one had realized what was
happening.
Esther Mitchell Is the sister to
avenge whose honor George shot Cref-
field She has refused to have any
thing to do with her brother since the
shooting. Thursday was the first time
they had been seen together on good
terms.
The three brothers were en- route to
Oregon where they expected to &c
back to work. Directly after the
shooting Perry Mitchell and Fred
Mitchell were arrested as witnesses
They were found together on bench
In the depot, sobbing on each others
shoulders.
Esther Mitchell has made state
ment in which she says she and Mrs
Creffield, widow of the leader of the
Holy Rollers" had talked over the
matter of killing George, and decided
that the one that got the first chance
was to do it, She purchased the pts
toll and when she went to the depot to
bid farewell to her brothers, she saw
her chance and shot him. She de
clared she was glad she succeeded In
killing the slayer of Creffild.

| HARG|S AND CALLAHAN
DECLARED NOT GUILTY
Jury in Celebrated Kentucky Murder
Case FindS That Men saio 10 DC
Responsible Are innocent

Beattyville, Ky.--The jury In the
Hargis- callahan trial returned a YER
dict of not guilty after being out
twelve minutes. The case was one oil
the most desperately fought battles
In a Kentucky court for years. The
men we're charged with the murder OF
J. b. Marcum.
Marcum was a mountain Republi-
can lawyer of excellent standing. he
was engaged three years ago as an
attorney against James Hargis and
Edward Callahan, respectively Demo
cratic county judge and sheriff, to
GUST them from their Offices on an al
legation of corrupt election. Much
bitterness was aroused. In May, 1908,
Marcum was shot to death from be
hind in the Jackson court house. Cur
tbs Jet and Tom White were convict
ed and given life terms for the muir
DER. Ii was charged that they were
the tools of Callahan. Hargis and
others Jett after his conviction con
fessed that he shot Marcum and that
his act was inspired by Callahan and
Hargis On the witness stand here he
repudiated the confession and said
he alone was responsible. The &C
quittal follows largely on this repu
diation.
A jury Of Clark county citizens re
turned a verdict for $4,000 damages
year against Hargis on the allega
ton that he had caused Marcum to be
killed. The suit was filed by Mrs
Marcum. Hargis and Callahan are yet
to be tried in the Lexington court for
the killing OF James Cockrell under
similar circumstances

THAT the pound rate of postage, al
lowed newspapers, is in no wise respon-
sible for the postal deficit, as is some
times charged, is clearly set forth in
brief just fled with the congressional
commission on postal matters by the
American Publishers association. Elk
press companies and railroads make
newspapers the same rate that is made
by the postoffice department, and no one
would be likely to accuse either of these
corporations of doing business at loss.
AS a matter of fact these companies
must find a reasonable profit in the bus
mess of carrying newspapers at one cent
a pound, for they are glad to get the
business. That there are good many
publications admitted to the second class
rates, which are not entitled to them,
will be conceded, and if the pestottice
department wants to accomplish some
real reform, it will weed out these publ
cations but will still allow the daily and
weekly newspapers to have the rates by
means of which it is possible to make
low rates of subscription.
