CASE OF MRS. VAN HORN,
CHARGED WITH KILLING HUs.-
BAND, SET FOR NEXT WEEK.
EVIDENCE or STATE
IS eciRcuMsTANTiAL
Theory That chsster Van Horn Was
Murdered IN His Home Near Clear
Lake, Last October, Is Generally
Accepted - State Claims to Have
Traced Movements Of Woman.
10 rimes-Renublican.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, April 7.-Out OF twen-
ty-seven women in the United states
who We're last year tried on the charge
Of murder, only three were convicted.
And now some are wondering If the
evidence in the possession OF the state
will be sufficient to convict Mrs. Char
lotte Van Horn Of the murder OF her
husband when it is called for trial next
Monday. Judge Edwards will preside,
and unless something intervenes De-
tween now and then that will cause
delay the case will be the first up for
disposition.
All the evidence the state has is cir
cumstantial. The revolver found In
the hand of Chester Van Horn is said
to be the identical revolver purchased
Of a Chicago catalog house. 1t came
to this city by express. and was ad-
dressed to David 2. DeEere. The agent
rememb ers that lady signed for and
secured the revolver. With the pack
age was a check for s1.l2 which was
in excess Of the cost of the revolver
aud which was returned to purchaser.
This check has not been cashed. Inc
agent is not able TO identity Mrs. van
Horn as the one securing the DeNere
package. The package was signed Tor
and an expert who has looked over
the signature is convinced that It is
the writing of Mrs. Van Horn. The
state will be able to prove that Mrs.
Van Horn came down from, Clear Lake
that day and was in Mason City. and
that she returned to Clear Lake tnat
afternoon and was seen with pack
age that resembled the package sent
out by the Chicago house.
Trace Woman's Movements.
The night of the murder Mrs. Van
Horn claims she stayed with her par
ents in Clear Lake. Mr.. ard Mrs. van
Horn lived about six miles southwest,
of town A girl and boy in the home
were also in Cellar. Lake but they
STAYED that night at different places.
There will be witnesses introduced to
testify to the facts,that on the night
of the murder, about 9 O'Clock, Mrs.
Van Horn In company with gentle
man were seen driving in, the direction
OF the Van Horn home.
When Chester Van Horns lifeless
body was discovered on the morning
of Oct 90 by his, wife end lady
