MRS. JENNIE PRATT sAlp TO
HAVE ADMITTED KILLING
HUSBAND,
CALHOUN COUNTY MURDER
MYsTEEY MAY De CLEARED
Mrs. Pratt and Her Dead husband's
Hired Man Once Tried For kilI;na
Pratt = Jury Disagreed and County
Attorney Dismissed Indictments -
Mrs. Pratt Recently Died in South
pa.s ota.

Fort Dodge, Nov. 30.-1t is reported
on reliable authority that Jennie
Pratt, charged with the murder Of her
husband in Calhoun county four years
ago, confessed to the crime on her
deathbed in South Dakota, two months
ago. Fort Dodge people will read this
announcement with interest as the case
was followed closely at the time of
the trial. Not only did the startling
crime demand interest here and else
where outside the county where it was
tried, but local interest was doubled
because Fort Dodge attorneys were
identified with the prosecution.
Freed by Uncertainty.
"The one thing that caused the dis
agreement Of the Jury and the dis
missal of the case against Jennie
Pratt, after the long. hard fought
trial was the fact that DR.. Hayes
would not swear positively that there
was arsenic poisoning because he did
not find quite enough indication Of
It when he made his examination, so
late that the condition of the stomach
was such he said he could not know
positively" said Robert Healy. one
of the attorneys for the prosecution.
81 have always been thoroughly con-
WINGED Of her guilt"
It will be remembered that at the
time Of the murder and trial, the
facts were known from testimony
taken, that Mr.. Pratt evinced every
indication Of arsenic poisoning. He
had the usual thirst of one poisoned
with arsenic. ate ice constantly and
craved all he could get, and in many
other ways showed almost unmistak-
able symptoms of the fact he had been
poisoned.
The wife and the hired man were
great friends, before and after his death
and it was supposed to have been their
infatuation with one another that
prompted the poisoning of Mr.. Pratt.
A Trick of the Trade.
An interesting incident in regard to
the case was revealed by Mr.. Healy
which illustrates the tricks Of the de-
tective's trade, but in this case it was
for naught.
A Pinkerton man employed on the
case, was caught in the act Of rifling
the money drawer in the Pomeroy rail-
road station and was arrested, sent to
Rockwell City and thrown into Jail in
a cell next that of the hired man who
was implicated with Mrs. Pratt.
1t was all in good faith that he was
arrested, but the sheriff knew the
reason Of the attempted burglary and
saw to 1t he was put In the cell next
the hired man where he could pursue
his Investigations.
For four days the detective worked
with the man. cleverly gaining his con-
fldence in the hope he could elicit
confession valuable to the prosecution,
but the man was not inclined to tell
his troubles to the extent that the de-
tective wished.
After four days of prison fare and
no favors, for fearing Of rousing the
suspicion of the hired man, the re-
tective gave up his attempt in despair.
