CRIME IS YET UNsOLVED
Mrs. Margaret shotweII, Aged Seven
ty-Two Years, 5rutally Murdered
at Winfield, Kansas.
(Herald Specially

Winfield, Kas., Feb. 2.-When the
coroner's jury meets tomorrow to re
sumo the taking of testimony it is
hoped that something may be brought
to light that will furnish clue to the
murderer or murderers of Mrs. Mar
garet Shotwell, the aged woman
whose tragic death shocked this en-
tire section of Kansas a month ago.
So far the authorities haye been to-
tally at loss in their efforts to I'M
ravel the crime.
1t was on the morning of December
IS that Mrs. Shotwell, who was 70
years of age, was found lying dead
on the floor of her room in a pool of
blood 1t was at first supposed that
the woman had died of a hemorrhage
of the lungs, but an investigation
showed that her death was in all prob
ability due to wound in the head,
caused apparently by some very sharp
instrument such as an ice pick.
The fact that the woman had been
murdered was kept secret until a
week ago in order to give the officers
a chance to conclude their investiga
tons. When the details of the out
rage were finally made public the en-
tire community was aroused and re-
ward was promptly offered for the ar
rest and conviction of the murderer.
The fact that the doors and win
dows were all locked on the inside
seemed at first an insurmountable OBJ
stacle to the murder theory, but
local locksmith made a small instru-
ment by which it was shown that

today at the trial of Mrs. Ford on a
charge of Matchmaking him.
The story was unfolded before a
crowded court room, and as it devel
oped officials, jurymen and spectators
listened with an intensity that be
tokened their deep interest.
Evidently nerved for the ordeal
Warmer recited the details of his re-
lations with the woman without be
traying the slightest emotion. He
took the stand wearing an overcoat
which concealed the uniform which
he wore as an inmate of the Ohio
penitentiary. At the instance of the
defense the court ordered him to re,

person could have unlocked the door
from the outside and then gone out
and locked it again after committing
the deed.
That the murder was cold blooded
and deliberate is evident from the
fact that small drops of blood show
that the woman was sitting on a
chair near the stove when attacked
and that the fiend must then have
held her over the stove, so that at
least a quart of blood dripped into
the hearth or ash pan, and then car
ried her to the bedroom and dropped
her on the floor, where she was
found. Prom the disordered condi-
ton of the rooms robbery evidently
furnished the motive for the murder

THIS IS GROUNDING DAY
Today Fraught With Grave Meaning
to Those Whose Welfare Depends
on Sunshine and Shadow.
Today is candlemas day; and

Today is Candlemas day; and
"On Candlemas day, if the sun appear
There'll be two winters in one year
At lease this inspiring couplet is
the Scotch version of it; but the
Scotch rhymster was only half can,
ny, for he left out the essential part
of the matter, which is the ground,
hog.
Candlemas day, in popular par
lance, is nothing more or less than
grounding day; grounding day from
the frozen Yukon to the palms of Pan
anna.
The story of the grounding or
, woodchuck, which is scientifically
known under the ponderous and awe
inspiring title of Arctomys MonaX, as
told by the country folk for many
years to their children while seated
in the glow of the great hearth fire,
is that on noon of this date thousands
of years ago, when the earth was
young, one of the first members of
the grounding family, after sleeping
away the long days and nights of Win
ter in its burrow, awakened on Feb
ruary 2 and crept quietly from its
hole to take an observation of the
weather
The animal found the sun shining
brightly, and seeing its shadow cast
upon the ground after having slept
so long, it became greatly frightened,
thinking it was a beast of prey, and
rushed back into its den. The god of
the clouds and storms, so the legend
goes, observing the action of the
grounding, decreed that thereafter
February the animal should first
emerge from its den, and should the
day be sunshiny so that the ground
hog could see its shadow, six weeks of
icy, stormy weather should follow.
On the contrary, should the day be
cloudy, gloomy or stormy, so that the
little animal could not see its shadow,
it would mean that winter was prac-
tically over and there would be an
early spring.
Today, therefore, is fraught with
grave meaning to those whose welfare
depends on wind and wave, sunshine
and shadow, or change of time and
tide. So if there is a grounding liv
ing in your vicity, it behooves you to
watch him carefully, for his advent
is portentious.
