ADMITS he KILLED THREE
James Mcmahon Corfesses He Muir
dered His Two Sisters and
Brother-in.LaW.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct 27.-James
McMahon has confessed that he MUIR
eered his sisters, Miss Rose Mcmahon
and Mrs. Alonzo Van Royen, and the
latter's husband, Alonzo Van Royen,
on farm near Kansas City, Kan.
last Tuesday. A long standing family
quarrel caused the tragedy. Mcmahon
killed Van Royen in a wood and later
went to the Van Royen home and
shot his sisters.
Fearing mob violence by a throng
gathered about the county Jail after
the confession, the authorities rushed
the murderer and his brother, Pat
rick Mcmahon and Patrick Lamb,
farm hand, who are held as
witnesses in the case, to the
Kansas state penitentiary at Ian
sing in automobiles. The cries of
the mob were heard within the Jail
and the prisoners begged piteously to
be taken to place Of safety. They
were slipped quietly out of the Jail
before the crowd was aware of their
departure.
Mcmahon took sole responsibility
for the crime. In his verbal confes-
sion he especially exonerated his
brother, as he feared the officers
would charge him with completely in
the crime.
