The congressional aspirants in this

hard telling what the future may have

Roller Prophet" and was acquitted Of

Esther Mitchell joined the Holy Roll
lers' sect at Corvallis, Ore. and was
one Of the most ardent of Creffield's fol-
lowers. When her brother pursued the
leader of the Holy Rollers to Seattle

in justification that Creffield had delud-
ed and wronged his sister. George

for Esther in Seattle lodging houses.
She refused to be comforted after the
death of Creffield.

their homes in Oregon. The Mitchell
brothers, George Perry and Fred were
sitting with Esther on a bench in the

best of terms. When the Oregon
train arrived, George Mitchell arose
and started for the door. His sister
stepped to his side and pointing re-
volver at his head. fired a fatal shct
before any one else in the room realized
what was happening.
Miss Mitchell was arrested shortly
after her brother fell dead by her
hand. She refused to have anything
to do with her brother since he shot
Creffield to avenge Orchids treatment
of Miss Mitchell. Today was the first
time the brother and sister had been
seen together on apparently good
terms.
Last night Charles Mitchell. the
father and his daughter Esther reach
ed reconciliation. the girl for several
days having refused to see even her
father. Hearing that her father was
about to return to his home in Illinois
she consented to see him, all the fam
lily being present except George.
Esther Mithell and Mrs. Creffld, Wild
ow Of the "Holy Roller" preacher, to-
day announced their intention Of MAX
ing Seattle their home.
The three brothers were going to
Oregon to work.
After the shooting Perry and Fred
Mitchell were arrested as witnesses.
They were found together on bench
in the station sobbing on each others
shoulders.

to Wifliam ]. Bryan, which is planned
by the Commercial Travellers Anti
trust League, to take place at Madison
Square Garden on the evening of Aug

the floor of national conventions.

committee to join in the welcome Of
Mr.. Bryan on his return from a trip
around the world and wrote a New
York friend that he would have moth
ing to do with the reception and that
he was through with Bryan.
