Byers, the murderer of Marion Flem-
ming. a colored farmer living near
Cullison in this county. is now lying
in the Pratt county jail awaiting his
preliminary.
McByers claims that he was not at
the Flemming home Monday or Tues
day of the week and that he knows
nothing of the crime.
Many believe that he is unbalanced
as he has had lurid spells occasionally
for the past few years and he IS al

peculiar incident is recited by the
relatives of the dead man that about
two weeks ago he had a gypsy tell his
fortune and she told Flemming that
he was going to be killed in the near
future by two men. one a white man
and the other a negro
She also said that the negro would
be caught but that the white man
would escape. This has come true as
far as the negro is concerned but no
suspicion has fallen on any white man,
but there are rumors that McByers
might have had some assistance in
committing the awful crime.
