PHILIP N. ASHBY
MURDERS HIS WIFE
Sets Fire to His Home, Attempts
to Destroy His Children.
CONFESSION CONDEMNS HIM

reclined on his bed and feigned
| sleep. Three OF the children were
sleeping with their mother, and
Reta, next to the oldest daughter,
woke up in time to rescue the other
children after running to arouse
her father whom she supposed
was asleep.
The family stood well in the COM
munity where they resided, and
Ashby's statement concerning the
fire was accepted without question,
and common sympathy was felt
for him and the children. We can
well imagine their horror and un-
belief when they received the word
that Ashby had confessed to the
murder of his wife. The report
of his confession was stoutly re-
jected by relatives and friends,
some of whom fastened here to see
him, and to them he repeated the
confession, denying nothing.
Following the exhuming of Mrs.
Ashby's body yesterday morning,
when a postmortem examination
was made, a telephone message was
received from Coxburg intimating
threats of mob violence; 1.-The officers
here deemed it advisable to remove
Ashby elsewhere for safe keeping,
and this was done yesterday after
noon.
Mrs. Ashby was p-daughter
of Gus Laferty. She was esteem
ed as good, christian woman, kind
and devoted to her husband and
children. While Ashby was in
dustrious and provided well for his
family, it is recalled that there is
one shady spot in his life growing
out of an escapade he figured in a
few years ago, when he ran away
with the wife Of Spencer Laferty,
his wife's half-brother. They re-
turned after living together, about
nine months, aud seemingly all
was forgiven.

CONSERVATION spread through
our town Tuesday morning when
it became known that Philip n.
Ashby of Coxburg had confessed
to the brutal murder of his wife
and attempt to destroy his children.
Ashby came to town about dusk
Monday evening and went to the
Jail to give himself up. Sheriff
Kit Woods was in Nashville, and
he told Mrs. Woods that be wanted
to make confession, said that he
was u thief, a robber, and a muir
derer; that he murdered Pearl, his
wife, and burned her up. Ashby
has six children, and he said he in
tended that all of them should
burn together.
Ashby is about 80 years old, and
lived on the farm of NJ. A. Fry in
the first district on Eagle Creek.
About 3 o'clock a. m. last Saturday
his home was burned and the body
of his wife was found in the ruins.
Mrs. Ashby would have become a
mother within a few days. The
shocking manner of her death was
not suspicioned until the details
were told 10y her husband.
When the news was received at
this place Saturday that Ashby's
home had been destroyed and his
wife had persisted in the flames,
there was ready response to help
the family, and a snug little sum
was collected for their benefit.
In his confession made to Sheriff
Woods, who returned home from
Nashville Tuesday night, Ashby
said he slept some in the forepart
of Friday night. He could not ex-
plain why he committed the deed,
but said he killed his wife with a
hammer, striking her on the head
twice. He then saturated her bed
and room with coal oil, and after
applying a match in order to de-
stroy all evidence of his crime, he
