CULLEN CONTEMPLATED
TRAGERY MONTHS AHEAi

Charles City Ii'., Feb 4 IL is now
believed that James cullen, ine man
who WAS lNnched here by the best
citizens of the town, after he had killed
his wife aud slep-son had planned for
more than six months back to enact
just such tragedy, although il is not
thought likely his plan contemplated
the awful end to which he came.
This theory is borne out by the filing
of his Will. dated last August In which
his property valued mt about $50. 900. is
left to brothers and sisters, share and
share alike, and no mention whatever
Is made of Wife or child He pro-
Nided. however. that a monument cost
ing about 5000 shall be erected over his
grave
