MRS. WHEELER IN The CLEAR
Wife Of Murdered Man Still Unoonueoted
with the Crime,
NO CONFESSION HAS COME FROM HER
Police Are Gradually strengthening
Chain of CircumstantisI Evidence
Around james DiEgs, the
womnn's CoIored Consort.

We have not yet received any evidence
which would connect Mrs. Dora Wheeler
with the murder OF her husband. In nc
way has the woman offered anything &c
connect herself or James Diggs with this
crime As has been stated before, she ad.
mittcd meeting the eolored man at hi,
room, but still maintains her ignorance of
anything connected with the crime Digs
has denied all knowledge of the crime"
Such was the statement offered Wcdnes.
day by Captain Dunn at the police sta.
ton when asked regarding the status OF
the Wheeler case. While as matter OF
fact the police have worked up a strong
chain of circumstantial evidence against
Digs. they could not say the same of the
womans case.
Wednesday morning Captain Dunn and
Deputy County Attorney Foster had an
extended conference with Mrs. Wheeler,
who appeared ms firm as ever In maintain
ing her complete innocence regarding the
murder Of Frank r. Wheeler
Witnesses Against Digs.
The police have three new witnesses
against Diggs. These witnesses have iden-
tilted the colored man as having called
at the Willard hotel last Thursday after
noon and asked for the engineer of the
hotel. which person Diggs did not see after
all. Whether he called on Wheeler or
wanted to get look at him cannot be
determined.
The county attorney could not say posi-
lively Just when he would file a complaint
against Diggs. but thought he would have
1t ready by Thursday morning
Asked whether he would file COM
plant against Mrs Wheeler. Deputy
County Foster declined to say. He did not
appear to think from the evidence at hand
he had sufficient grounds on which to file
complaint against the woman
In making up their list of witnesses Cor
the preliminary hearing in this case the
police have taken the pains to include the
name of the reporter who faxed the story
of the womans confession. He will he
given an opportunity of proving his case.

ALLEN PLEADS SELF. DEFENSE
Negro Charged with Murder Says He Was
Attacked with Knife.
STORY OPPOSITE FROM THAT OF WOMAN
Defendant Makes out that Dead
Man was Aggressive. and Tie
simply Defended His
own Life.

Leslie Allen, the defendant in the murder
case before Judge Sutton, went on the
stand Wednesday afternoon and gave his
version of the shooting affair in which Lee
Jarrett was killed. Aliens story differed
in almost every essential detail from that
told by Mary Jarrett. the only other eye
witness
Allen said on the evening of the shoot
ing he went home and had trouble with
Jarrett and the latter struck at him with a
drawn knife, knocked him down and tram
pied upon him. and then threatened to kill
him Just before this happened he said his
sister had locked the back door and Jarrett
the front door. Allen says he unlocked the
door and ran. Jarrett chasing him about
three blocks. He came up town. bought the
revolver and went back home to get his
things. Jarrett was not there when he ar
rived, but came in two or three minutes
tho remark: II told YOU not to be hanging
around here" To protect himself Allen
says. he drew the revolver with his right
hand and held Jarretts right hand with his
left. Jarrett grabbed the gun with his right
hand. During the scuffie the gun was dis
charged and Jarrett ran out of the front
door. Allen ran out of the back door. He
says Mrs Jarrett followed him and shot at
him three times. He says he was fright
ened because his wife was shooting at him
and gave that as his reason for running. As
he crossed the Missouri river bridge he said
he threw the gun in the river He did not
hear OF the death of Jarrett until he was
arrested in Iowa He said he did not know
who pulled the trigger

During his testimony the scuf1e in which
Jarrett was killed was reproduced In panto-
mime by the defendant and his attorney.
Mr.. Mcfarland. Mr.. Mcfarland took the
knife and acted the part of Jarrett. while
Allen held the gun and went through the
movements as he said they happened on the
night of the shooting. Allen also positively
denied he had gone through mock mar
riage ceremony with Miss Jarrett and said
they had gone to living together under an
agreement to live man and wife until
death.
The defense introduced Mrs. John Tolson
and her daughter Gertrude TolsOn. who
told of a conversation they had had with
Miss Jarrett an hour or two after the
shooting in which she is alleged to have
said her brother threatened to kill Allen il
he disclosed Miss Jarrett's alleged rela-
tons with an uncle of hers. and that this
was the cause of the trouble. At ) o'clock
the defense rested and the state will begin
the rebuttal this morning.
