Channon's Jail Record.
Two witnesses. Mart Logan and Fred
Myers, gave Information as to Chan
mons jail record, which they had re-
ceived from the man himself. Channon
worked for Mr.. Logan for time, and
according to witnesses was peaceful
when sober, but witness thought he
might be dangerous while intoxicated.
He said Channon had told him some
thing Of his penitentiary record, and
understood him to say he went after
his first wife with butcher knife be-
cause Of jealousy.
Fred Myers testimony in this re-
spect was more definite. IF I ever do
anything desperate again." Channon
had once said to the witness, II will
never go to the penitentiary for it."
Channon had told him he cut his first
wife's throat and was sent to the pen
for thirty years, witness believed from
Des Moines. He served seven or eight
years and was a model prisoner. Then
he was paroled or pardoned.

| Clinton, Oct. 1.-THE theory Of the
coroner and police that Mrs. George
Channon was slain by her husband
before he committed suicide by hang
ing himself early Tuesday morning.
was strengthened at the inquest when
Coroner Kellcgg brought out testimony
to the following effect:
That Charnon had served time in
rhe Iowa Icniteutiarv for cutting his
first wife's throat with a butcher knife.
That he and his wife had quarreled
Saturday night the la st time the wom-
an was seen alive
! That Mrs. Channon wore only her
house clothes and no hat when she
left Saturday night.
That Charnon, while peaceabls
man when sober. was regarded by as
sociates as violent when drunk.
The coroner's jury. after listening
to the evidence returned verdict
to the effect that Channon's death was
due TO his own act. The really i'm
portant phase of the inquest, however,
was the licht which was thrown on
circumstances preceding the disap
pearance OF Mrs. Channon.
The couple had been married only
three weeks. Their nuptials took
place in Morrison, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Channon had since been living at SIC
North Second street.
The iit;,e son 90 Mrs Channon.
George sill. told a clear and straight
forward story on the witness stand. He
said his mother and father had often
Gnerreled since their marriage, always
because of the latter's drinking. Wit

Found Parents Gone.
Saturday night the couple had quar-
relied, AT about O'Clock Channon
sent the boy to a barn a block or so
away to hitch up his horse, asking
him to drive back and take away some
empty bottles TO sell. When the boy
returned his mother and her husband
had gone. He put away the horse and
went to picture show. The couple did
not return during the night, and the
boy, who was worrying. telephoned to
Miss Fogg, OF S1s Murray avenue. who
worked with Mrs. Channon at the Re-
we're hotel. Mrs. Fogg had not seen the
