DOUBLE MURDERER
 JAILED IN KANSAS
Ed Graham, Wanted Here
 for Killing of Colored Cou- pie, in Kansas City Jail.

Ed Graham, negro wanted here for the murder of his wife's parents, George and Martha Quinn, last De- cember, is in the Kansas City work house, to which he was committed under the name of Will Nichol. A member of the sheriffs department will leave today for Kansas City to bring Graham here for trial.
 The negro was located in Kansas City through the medium of circu- lars sent out by Sheriff Edgar Brewster, offering a reward of $100 for the arrest of Graham. The cir culars were out of the ordinary in that they contained full length picture of Graham, the cut being IS inches long, Pictures sent to the sl,eriff's office of the negro in the Kansas City workhouse leave no doubt in the minds of the local of- fieials that the long search for the double-murderer is at end.
 The crime for which Graham is wanted occurred on December 1, 1913 when the negro, infuriated because his wife refused his importunities to return to him and blaming her par erts, entered the Quinn household while all were at supper and opened fire. The Quinns were killed almost instantly
