MAIL CARRIER ON
TRIAL AS SLAYER
OF best FRIEND
Greatest Mystery Kansas Ever
Knew Surrounds Killing of
Postmaster at LOuiSburg by
Shot Fired Through Window.

PAOLI. Kan. June 1O.-R Roscoe
Hornbecker. a rural mail carrier of
Louisurg. Kan. was placed on trial
here today i'm the strangest and most
mysterious murder case ever known
in Kansas. lie is accused of killing
his best friend. George McElheny.
postmaster of LOuisburg. The whole
first days session Of the court was eX-
pected to be occupied with the selec-
ton of the jury.
Into the trial. which promises to
be sensational. viii be injected a tale
Of illicit love. an apparently perfect
alibi and the story of the inside work
ings Of embroidery clubs in Louis
burg. at the meetings where the MEM
bers exchanged views.
Here are the known and alleged
facts Of the weird murder case:
on the night of Oco. 4. 1912. George
3. McElheny in the presence Of his
wife ara two little sons. was shot and
killed by an assassin who fired a
shotgun from the dark through the
window Of the McElheny home.
Mystery For Two Years.
For two years the murder remained
on the records of the CorOner'S Office
an unsolved mystery.
Then to DR.. J. Y. Ferrel former
coroner of Miami county Mrs. Maude
McElheny made a confession without
a parallel in Kansas criminal history.
Under oath she told of a love af-
fair with HOrnbecker which had
preceded the killing of her husband
one day in the postoffice when she
and HOrnbecker were laughing over
a postal card picture of a pretty girl
being kissed by a mail carrier. Horn
becker caught her in his arms and
kissed her That was the beginning
of the love affair. which she declares
was forced upon her by HOrnbecker
against her better judgment, and in
spite of her attempts TO repulse him.
This love affair. according to Mrs
McElheny'S sworn statement, was car
ried on with the knowledge and ap-
proval of Mrs. HOrnbecker. the mail
carriers wife and that she asserted
that on many occasions Hornbecker
took her To his own home. and in the
presence of his wife bestowed affec-
tiOnate attentions upon her.
Gave Her Powdered Glass.
one day according TO Mr.. NOEL
heny's story. Hornecker gave her
powdered glass 10 put in TO the food
she prepared for McElheny. She ac-
cepted the killing compound. but did
not use IT, Hornbecker. she said
promised 20 kill his own wife as soon
as she had rid herself OF her husband
the widow declares. Hornbecker con-
fessed 10 her that he had committed
the crime told her where he had Sc
creted the sawed-of shotgun and
threa tened her with the same kind of
death if she ever told any one OF their
Illicit love or OF the crime. For two
wears. she said. she kept the secret.
finally being driven 10 confess 10y her
conscience
ON the other side, Hornbecker the
accused man has what appears 20 be
perfect and complete alibi. He
contends. and his wife and children
support his statement. that ne was at
home all during the evening of the
murder and that ne was In bed
asleep at the hour when McElheny
was slain. He was asleep when his
house was called on the telephone.
and news of the murder of his best
friend was told 10 his wife
