Without waiting for a more detailed
statement Chief Wappenstein summoned
detectives, who were given hurried or
ders to locate at once and bring in the
widow Of the Holy Roller" leader.
While the officers were on their way the
woman wanted, notified police head
quarters where she could be found, and
was soon in the custody of the police.
At headquarters she was as frank as
Esther Mitchell. and said one OF them
had to kin. George Mitchell Esther was
delegated to do the deed as ii was
thought she would have better chance.
Murderess Makes Statement.
Esther Mitchell made the following
statement this evening:
Mrs. Crefiield and | talked over the
matter of killing Mitchell. The one who
had the best chance was to do it. Mrs.
Crefileld bought the gun at Second ave-
nue. and Union street. We were at the
room about o'clock this afternoon
and I thought l would have better
chance to do it than Mrs Creffield, as
my brother wanted to see me and /
believed he would think nothing about
my going to the depot. Then Mrs. Cref-
field gave me the gun and / was to do
it, We agreed II was to be done as soon
as possible. Mrs. Creffield had been
out once or twice looking for George and
if she had got a chance she would have
done it and | would have done the
same The first that got chance was
to do it. I would have done it before,
ii / had got the chance. / took the
gun yesterday and my brother Fred
walked with me down to the depot when
my father went away. They wanted me
to see George then and I did not want
to, because / couldn't get the gun un-
wrapped. I had the gun wrapped up
and concealed and refused to see
George When | went home / took the
gun and placed it under the mattress.
Then I took it out about noon today
and kept it with me. My brother Fred
was up to my room today and said that
Perry and George were going to Port
land today at 4 o'clock. I went to the
depot and saw Perry get his ticket and !
followed him.

terrible, swift and premeditated sums
up the killing Of George Mitchell by his
Is. s.year-old sister Esther Mitchell to-
day. Esther Mitchell il the girl for
whom George shed the blood Of Franz
Edmund Crefiield, when he shot down
the leader OF the so.called Holy Roll

Of her alleged maltreatment by the
fanatical leader that Mitchell took his
life and risked his own, and his own
cold blooded murder Is the reward.

Mitchell was about to board the 4;30
p. m. train at the Union Depot for Port
land, where he was to take up his resi-
lence and begin life anew when Esther
left the two others ostensibly for the
purpose Of bidding George good bye, but
instead, as George turned half around
to greet her she produced a revolver
hidden under her cloak hung over her
arm, and fired once, the bullet entering
his left ear. Mitchell fell to the ground
dead, and the weapon of death and de-
struction, was wrenehed from the hand
Of the child murSleress, by her brother
Fred while another brother, Perry
Mitchell, caught the trembling form Of
his sisters in his arms, craying out, "Oh,
Esther, how could you do iti'
Quickly commotion followed in the
depot and the protection Of police
officer soon was afforded the girl. She
submitted to arrest without protest
and when interrogated as to why she
had committed the crime answered, Il
was commanded to do it."

POIitenesu Paws.

Virtue is not to be measured by os.
tentatious giving. There is frequently
more real love for humanity in the
soul Of the man who removes the
banana skin from the pavement than
in the heart of the donor of the me-
mortal window in the church. Polite
ness, like all other faults and virtues,
may become habitual. 1t is surprising
how many small acts Of kindness, how
many little deeds of helpfulness, one
may do in the course of a day when
there are inclination to be kind and a
lookout kept for the opportunity. One
may set out with this intention in the
morning, and the footing up at night
not to others, but to ones own secret
conscience-will be cheering and en-
couraging.

wit and ridicule were Lincoln weap-
ons Of offense and defense, and he
probably laughed more jury cases out
OF court than any other man who ever
practiced at the bar.
Il once heard Mr.. Lincoln defend a
man In Bloomington against charge
or passing counterfeit money" Vice
President Stevenson told the writer.
, There was pretty clear case against
the accused, but when the chief witness
Tor the people took the stand he stated
that his name was ]. Parker Green,

ment ne rose to cross-examine. why

the witness call himself John p. Green ?
That was his name, wasn't it? Well.
what was the reason he didn't wish to
be Known by his right name? Did J..
Parker Green have anything to conceal,
and IL not, why did J. Parker Green
part his name in that way| And so
on. or course, the whole examination
was farcical," Mr.. Stevenson continued.
but there was something irresistbly
funny in the varying tones and inflec-
tions OF Mr.. Lincoln's voice as he rang
the changes upon the mans name; and
at the recess the very boys in the street
TOOK up the slogan and shouted j. Par
ker Green! all over the town. More
over, there was something in Lincoln's
way of informing his questions which
made me suspicious of the witness, and
to this day have never been able to
rid my mind of the absurd impression
that there was something not quite
right about J. Parker Green. 1t was
all nonsense, of course, but the jury
must have been affected as 1 was, for
Green was discredited and the defend
ant went free"
