JURY IS OBTAINED
TO TRY MRS. DOKEY
Question of Her Marriage to
Erder to Be Investigated
in Testimony.

ST. LOUIS. 10. -7av with the
completed panel Of forty-seven men
from which a jury will be selected 70
try her on the charge o. numbering
William Erder. her alleged husband.
Mrs. Dora f. Doxey today predicted
that she would be freed within a fort
night.
The taking OF testimony will begin
tomorrow morning.
The woman's husband. DR.. Loren b
Doxey, is in jail near by waiting the
outcome OF his wlfe's case.
A statement printed In a morning
newspaper, attributed 10 the accused
physician and his wife, declaring that
any one who testified that Mrs. DoXey
was the wife Of Erder would be pun
ished for perjury, brought out a sharp
reply from the State this morning.
1--WE have the marriage license and
certificate showing that Dora DONey
married William J. Erder, the clerk who
issued the license, the minister who
performed the ceremony, the return OF
that certificate 20 the recorder OF deeds
in Clayton. and many persons who knew
her as the wife OF Erder,' declared Cir
cult Attorneys Newton and ROsskOpf.
who nave charge of the case for the
State.
There has been q lot OF talk on the
part Of the defense as to just what
would be expected. We are willing TO
meet any move the defense makes and
we assert right here that the woman
did marry Erder; that she married him
with the object of killing him and OBJ
tanning his insurance money for her
self and her husbs nd; that she carried
out that plan with .he knowledge Of
her husband and with his aid
It was asserted that the State will
declare in the oDening argument that
the woman killed Erder by the slow
administration Of cacOylates OF So
dunn, an arseniCal compound. The
States prosecutor will also assert that
he will show by witnesses that the
poison administered 10 Erder was OBJ
tanned on a prescriptiop written by
DR.. Doxey.

STRUCK
By Freight Engine Was John
Q, Davis
And Received Injuries That
May Prove Fatal

Mr. John O. Davis, carpenter re-
siding on the Columbus road, was bad
ly injured while on his way to work
about six o'clock Tuesday morning
He was walking into town along the
railroad and when he reached the b.
& o. freight house he did not see or
hear a freight engine which was
coasting silently toward him. The
engineer thinking that the man was
simply waiting until the engine was
close before jumping off, did not
slacken the speed, and as result,
Davis was struck violently and
thrown some little distance to the
side of the track A number of peo-
pie saw the accident and assistance
was Immediately at hand. McCor.
mick's ambulance was called and the
injured man was taken hastily to his
home in South Vernon where DIR. N
r. Eastman was called to render sur
gical attention. On examination, IL
was found that two ugly scalp wounds
had been made on the back of his
head and concussion Of the brain had
set in. Mr.. Davis was in very ser
ious state Tuesday afternoon and it is
feared that he may have sustained
some internal injuries when the en-
glne struck him.

IN JAIL
Is Edward Lamar Who Has
Been Wanted Here
For Over A Year For Horse
Stealing
Brought Here From Kentucky
By The Sheriff
Claims To Be A Graduate OF
Yale
Prisoner Refuses To Give
His Right Name

Edward Lamar, whose real name is
graduate of Yale, and fraternity
brother of Governor Wilson of Ken
lucky, was arrested at Frankfort,
Kentucky, Monday evening and
brought to Mt. Vernon Tuesday after
noon by Sheriff Parker and is now
confined In the Knox county Jail on
charge of horse stealing.
Lamar, or whatever his name may
be, is the man for whom the officials
of Knox county have been looking
for since one year ago last fall. Lam
ar stole horse and buggy from Liv.
eryman Jones of Fredericktown and
sold the animal at Alexandria, o. AT
ter selling the horse he made good
his escape to the hills of Kentucky
Former Deputy Sheriff Lewis followed
week or more after the robbery, but
was unable to locate the prisoner.
1t appears that Lamar had been in
Kentucky but short time when he
stole another horse and for this crime
he was captured by the officers and
sentenced to the Kentucky peniten-
tiary for two years. Sheriff Parker
was in Kentucky last February in
search of the man and was informed
by the warden of the penitentiary
that the officials here would be noti-
fed as soon as Lamars time was out.
1t appears that Governor Wilson of
Kentucky visited the prisoner in the
pen several times and at last par.
doned him.
On Sunday Sheriff Parker received
word that Lamar had been pardoned
but that the sheriff of Frankfort had
him locked up in the county jail Sher.
iff Parker left on the noon train for
Kentucky.
Appearing in court Monday morning
Sheriff Parker asked the judge for the
prisoner, but was informed that al
the last term of court the attorney
for Lamar had secured writ OF ha
beas corpus, but had failed to file the
papers at this term of court. The
judge said he would give the attor
ney for the prisoner until six o'cloch
Monday evening In which to file the
papers, but fortunately for Sheriff
Parker, the prisoners attorney was II
Lexington and did not get back dur
ing the day. Promptly ats O'Clock
Monday evening Sheriff Parker sc
cured Lamar and went to Lexington
on u street car and there locked tn,
man up in the county jail over night
The sheriff also enjoyed nights res
at hotel and at $3.50 Tuesday morn
ing started for Mt. Vernon with tn,
prisoner, arriving here 1920 Tuesda!
afternoon.
Lamar was indicted by the CRANE
Jury at former term of court TO
horse stealing and will probably b,
arraigned before Judge Wickham a
this term of court.
AS has been stated Lamar refuse
to give his right name. He says HI
graduated from Yale and Is fratern
ity member and comes from goo,
family In the east.
This is no doubt true for Governo
Wilson of Kentucky is a graduate o
Yale and took great interest In tn
prisoner, visiting him In the jail a
Frankfort.
