DOCTOR HELD ON
MURDER CHARGE
Insane Patient Is Found Dead
and Body Burned
LETTERS ARE MYSTERIOUS
Murdered Man Had Been Placed In
Asylum on Account of Threaten
ing Letters and Doctor Was
Connected With Them.
LETTERS ARE MYSTERIOUS

st. Francisville, La, October IAN
investigation by the coroners jury into
the killing of E. K. Judson, patient of the
Jackson. La, insane asylum, whose hor-
ribly burned body was found near Wake
field, several miles north of here Mon
day, resulted late today In the holding
of DR.. e. c. McKowen for the murder.
The jury found that the body of Judson
had been placed by the side of the Yazoo
and Mississippi Valley railroad tracks
near Wakefield by DR.. McKowen, who Is
In prison here after being arrested at
his home In Jackson late yesterday. All
the evidence indicated that Judson had
been killed apparently by strangulation
some distance from where the body was
found. 1t is considered probable that an
effort to burn the body to conceal iden-
tification was interrupted by the fear of
the slayer that some one was approach
ing.
DR.. McKowens arrest before the YER
dict of the coroner's jury was reached,
followed the discovery near where judi
sons body was found of peculiar tracks,
made by a two-wheeled vehicle and the
order of the coroner to the authorities
to follow up the tracks and arrest the
man who had last driven the team. The
horse and cart were found at a black
smith shop in Jackson and the proprietor
identified the property as that of DR..
McKowen.
Judson never showed violent symptoms
of insanity since his commitment to the
asylum four years ago and was often al
n a ms lo
direction Of a guard. Upon one of these
occasions some time ago Judson is said
to have first met DIR. McKowen. The
doctor was not one of the asylum physi-
clans. Judson called on DR.. McKowen
a number of times afterward, 1t is de-
clared, and the physician always gave
him a cordial reception.
1t was testified that Judson was last
seen late Sunday in company with DIR.
McKowen, to visit whom he had been
given permission by the superintendent
of the asylum.
Judson's entrance into the asylum
followed his writing letters to a num-
Der of prominent residents of New Or
leans, warning them that their lives
were gravely threatened. 1t was not
long after he went to the asylum that
residents of jackson began to receive

office was flooded with these anony-
nous communications.
The elimination of this mysterious
letter writing came last year with the
indictment of DIR. McKowen by the fed
eral grand jury at Baton Rouge. 1t
was charged that he had written or
caused to be written and deposited in
the postoffice the letters in question 1t

DINNER WITHOUT SPEECH

Gregory. Tex, October 19.-President
Taft began his three days of doing as
he pleased on his brothers ranch today
by playing IS holes of golf this morning
over a muddy course, and by "just loaf
ing through the long afternoon and
evening. Mr. Taft was as happy as a
boy out of school, The idea of eating
a dinner without having TO speak for
1t and of going the livelong day without
having to make speech appealed to him
strongly, and he declared he wished his
far southern vacation could last week
and three days instead of just the latter
period.
While the president was golfng and
resting the members of his party enjoyed
themselves in several ways. Secretary
Dickinson and Capt Archie Butt were
up before the sun and started out on an
all-day duck shooting expedition at the
fresh water tanks on the ranch, ten
miles away from the farm house at
La Quinta, in a veritable palace set on
the shores OF Corpus Christi bay, looking
out over the waters of the Gulf of Mex
leo. They returned late this afternoon
with quite a bag and denied the Presi-
dents haunting insinuation that they had
bought or been presented with the birds.
Other members of the party took long
horseback rides and had a swim in the
bay.
Beginning tomorrow the President wia
probably go in bathing each remaining
morning of his stay as both weather and
water are warm.
Ranch hands out hunting today killed
two wild cats, two wild boars and
coon. All were presented to the Presi
dent. Tomorrow he will golf in the aft
ernoon; will have ten-mile run to tina
Rincon section of the ranch to see a small
roundup of cattle and sheep, and soma
exhibition of COW punchers. He will be
presented with big and comfortable sad.
die, made especially for him. Tonight he
was given 'possum, which was caught
in church at Arkansas Pass by Tom
Martin.
The President banished his assistant
secretaries from LaQuinta today and
gave no thought to publicity in any
way.
The Presidents play days will end FRI
day morning, when he will be taken By
boat to Corpus Christi to be the guest
of the city during the day, and to adj
dress the convention OF the Inland Wa
terways association.

the actor generously. For every favor re-

edgment.
This constant THANK you" annoyed the
host and his family. In desperation they
finally asked Mr.. Russell to omit it.
"Impossible'' said the actor. 81 was

hard to break as a bad one"
