TERRIBLE STORY OF
A DEFECTIVE GIRL

Newark, Okla, Sept. 19.-The
mystery of the attack upon Taylor
and J. w. Shepherd, brothers, and
the supposed assault upon the for
mer's thirteen-year-o daughter,
Ebby, in their home early Friday
morning, which resulted in the death
of the two men, was solved today.
The girl confessed to County Attorney
Burns that she beat both men with
an axe because they whipped her.
The girl told County Attorney
Burns that her father and uncle had
whipped her many times and that
arising Thursday night she got an
axe and beat them into insensibility.
When the two men were found Friday
morning, the girl related story of
an attack by strange man. County
Attorney Burns ordered the release
of Walter Cassidy, a young man sus-
pected of the crime. The girl is said
to be feeble minded.
