WALKED IS MILES To
REACH|ITHE RAILROAD
J. S. Jones, Father of Mrs. Crosby,
Talks to Reporter of The News.
Fell to His Knees and Cried Like a
Child.

Mr.. J. S. Jones, the father of Minnie
Jones Crosby, the unfortunate child
wife of G. S. Crosby, held on the
charge of killing j. R. McShan, arrived
in Hattiesburg at o'clock this morn
ing from his home at Soso, Jones
county.
The old man, who is in feeble health
was in the field blowing when a neigh
Dor brought him the news of the kill
ing near Hattiesburg. Believing the
young woman arrested was his daugh-
ter, he left the field, went home, got
his coat, and without telling his wife
of the news he had heard started for
Ellisville.
Not having the money to hire a con-
veyance, Mr.. Jones took the road
afoot and walked the distance, thir-
teen miles to Ellisville, where he
caught a southbound train and came
on to Hattiesburg. He brought with
him the muddy evidence of the field
on his boots and clothes, these plainly
showing that he had lost no time in
trying to reach his daughter.
Reaching the Jail at about 6 o'clock,
he aroused the jailer, Tom Giles, and
when he appeared, his caller asked
to see the young woman in the Jail.
Asked why he wished to see her, the
aged man said he feared she was his
daughter. After a brief explanation
from the old man, Jailer Giles said to
him, ''It is your daughter"
With these words, the old gentle
man tremblingly fell to his knees, his
flood of grief almost overcoming him.
On his knees as he was, he began
lamentingly and feelingly to pray to
his God.
When he had sufficiently recoveres
from his heartfelt shock he was led to-
the cell occupied by his daughter and
admitted. Their meeting was tearfully
affectionate.
There the old gentleman and his
daughter entered into a quiet CONVEX
sation. He remained with her some
time trying to learn something or tn.
particulars of the affair. But his
daughter evaded any queries from her
father, tearfully trying to show him
that she did not want to talk to him
about the affair, the facts connected
with it being too dreadful for her to
repeat to her own father.
In the end he could obtain no state
ment from her which added to or took
from, the confession she made before
the coroner's jury.
When asked pointedly as to this the
old man said:
mo, she said nothing about the con-
fession, and all l know about it, isl
what other people told me-
Later in the morning Mr.. Jones

TRUNK MYSTERY
EASILY SOLVED;
STORY A HOAX

Jackson, April 24.-What promised
to be a geuine sensation in the way of
trunk mystery" was sprung on the
streets here Thursday night when it
became rumored on the streets that
trunk left at the union depot by a
negro drayman had been opened and
that dead man was found in it.
The rumor took on various forms
and Night Sergeant Rucker at the
police station had all he could do for
an hour or two answering telephone
Inquiries about it. At the depot, too,
Baggage Agent Williams was beseiged
with inquiries, mostly of the morbid
class, who wanted to know all about
it,
When finally run down it develop
ed that rather large steamer trunk,
bearing the card of a Philadelphia
firm of chemists and dealers in funeral
supplies and the address of the Or
leans Manufacturing company of New
Orleans, and containing an embalmed
body which had become mumified and
was used as an advertisement of an
embalming fluid during the recent ses-
sion of the undertakers held in this
city, had in some way been left in
the baggage room instead of the ex
press office, for which it was evident
ly intended. -..-
The trunk had been in the baggage
room four or five days and Mr.. Will
liams decided to learn something of it.
Raising the lid he was surprised to
learn of its contents, and the negroes
employed around the station remained
outside the baggage room as much as
possible during the remainedr of the
night.

and James H. McShan, of Cliftonville
Miss, father and brother of John r
McShan, who was murdered by G. l.
Crosby and his wife, arrived this
morning. They would have reached
Hattiesburg sooner but for the fact
that the dead mans name was given
as "McShane" in all of the first re.
ports sent to the newspapers, and the
father did not then suspect that 1t
was his son who had been murdered.
The remains of James R. McShan,

in Leaf river swamp, will be disinter-
red during the afternoon, and James

dress and has the air of substantial

or his son as philosophically as posi-
blo but means to leave no stone nm
turned in his efforts to secure the
conviction of the murderers.

PHILADELPHIA LAWYER
IS AFTER STATISTICS

JACKSON, Miss, Auril PA Phil
adelphia lawyer has written Secretary
of State Power asking for data cov-
ering the past fifteen years in regard
to the length of centences and time
actually served in cases of homicides
where pardons have afterward been
granted the prisoners, both in cases
where to death sentence has been
commuted and in cases where only
prison terms have been imposed.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-04-24

The letter states that the informa.
tion is wanted for use in a meritorous
case in Pennsylvania in which a par
don is sought from the pardoning
board.
The task of getting up the informa-
ton wanted is no small one, but since
the attorney expresses a willingness
to pay for it, it is probable that Mr.
Power will have someone do the work
who needs the money.

Suspense Was Awful.
According to the testimony of G.
Crosby, who detailed his conversation
with McShan in the swamp where the
killing took place, the suspense which
the latter endured before the fatal
shot was fired must have been awful
He evidently stood for twenty minutes
or more at the muzzle of Crosby S
shotgun. Asked if McShan begged
for his life. Crosby said:
mo, sir, he never begged at all.
He just said that he was treating me
wrong that if he had a wife, and l
had been meeting her and had known
that she was a married lady and mar
ried to him, and that he had taken a
license to marry like had, that he
would do the same thing"
The Woodruff Woman.
Speaking further regarding Nc
Shan's statement at the scene of
the killing, Crosby brings this indict-
ment against his own sister, Mrs.
Pearl Woodruff:
Il asked how he and my wife got
together, and he said Pearl had
caused him to come to meet my wife,
and she wrote to him and he came
down there to meet her. And he said
they met, 1 believe. there at the rail-
road trestle for the first time, and that
they went up into the swamp and
stayed five hours, he, her and Pearl
and this other fellow. He said that
Pearl was the cause of all of it.

have got the letter at home I have

him.
The burden of Crosby's testimony
was that he didn't want to kill Nc
Shan, but that his 15-year-old wife
insisted that he must die. Contin-
uing to quote his conversation before
the shooting he said:
81 asked him not to run, but to be
agreeable to me, and that | wouldn't
kill him. My wife wanted to kill
him right away, and walked around
to my back and put her hand on the
gun, and I told not her not to kill him

FATHER Of DEAD MAN
TALKS Of HIS TROUBLE.

was a young man of sterling integrity
He drank occasionally and possessed
other weaknesses common to young
men of his age, but he was kind and
considerate toward his father ana
brothers and sisters.
The elder McShan was married in
1877 and his wife died in 1887, ten
years later. During this time she gave
birth to seven children, all of whom
are now living except the murdered
man.
Wanted to See Crosby.
One of the first requests of James
A. McShan, brother of the dead man,
on his arrival in the city this morning,
was that he be allowed to visit the jail
and take a look at Crosby. Sheriff
Magruder was not present, but Chan
cerf Clerk T. E. Batson, who was for
merly sheriff, told the young man that
the interview could probably be ar
ranged, but that he would have to be
searched for weapons.
That's all right said the young
man; you can strip me naked, if |
you like. l just want to take one look
at the man. This may be my last op-
portunity to see him." James r. Nc
Shan is a young man of pleasing ap.
pearance and bears the marks of
good breeding.
