Whole Missouri Family Shot by
Wheat Tenant.
Victims Were Former Residents
of Wichita, Kan.

Jefferson City, No, July Sired
Poynter. a young farmer, shot and
killed four persons of one family near
Vienna, Mo, as the result of a quarrel
over the harvesting of wheat crop,
according to messages received here.
The dead are Mrs Julia Breeze, 10
years OLD, her son, George Breeze. and
her daughters. Mrs. Rose Breeze
Wright, and Miss Matte Breeze.
Poynter was tenant on Mrs.
Breece's farm. The message received
here by Judge John G. Slate said Mrs.
Breeze first fired at Poynter. The
latter then killed Mrs. Breeze, her
son and daughters in turn. Poynter
surrendered to the sheriff at Vienna.
Mrs. Breeze was shot with a shot
gun and the three others with re-
volver. Judge Slate said Poynter was
indicted by the April grand jury of
Maries county on a charge of dispos-
ing of mortgaged property. The
Breeces were witnesses before the
grand jury and for that reason ill
feeling had grown up between them
and their tenant.
Mrs. Breeze was the widow of Cap
tain George w. Breeze, once a we'll
known Mississippi river pilot. The
Mrs. Wright. the wife of w. S. Wright
of Wichita, was visiting her mother
when the tragedy occurred.
Poynter IS about % years old and
comes from family well known in
Maries county. The shooting oc-

Poynter's Story.
Vienna, Mo, July 3.-Fred Poyntcr
walked into Vienna Friday night, sur
rendered to the sheriff and told how
he had killed Mrs. Julia Breeze, her
son and her two daughters, when they
attempted to prevent him from har-
veSting his wheat.
Poyntcr said chat he shot in self
defense as all four members of the
Breeze flmily were armed. According
to his story, the Breeze family came
to his place and asked for the pay
ment of back rent due Mrs. Breeze.
Poynter replied that he did not have
the money but would pay the rent
soon.
Mrs. Breeze demanded the money
on the spot and during the ensuing
quarrel she shot Mt him, the prisoner
said. POynter then shot the entire
party to save his own life, he said.

REASONS WHY
BOTKIN SHOULD
QUIT HIS JOB
Charges Filed Against Warden
of the Penitentiary.
B. ID. Jones Gives Is Causes
Calling for Dismissal.
ACCUSER A FORMER EMPLOYEE
Head of State Prison Says He is
Not Worried.
He Has Retained Lawyers to
Conduct His Defense.

Now that Miles Mulroy and Mrs
Burns are safely out of the way and
Henry thinner awaits only formal
discharge, Governor Capper will give
Warden J. D. Botkin of the state
prison little attention Fifteen
charges upon which Botkin's dismissal
| is sought, have been filed with the
| governor by B. D. Jones, a former en-
ployee. Botk1n has retained counsel
| and will fight any effort looking TO
his removal.
The one dominant hope in GOvernO
Cappers immediate political ambition
is said to be the dawn of the day
when he will sit in his office and Of
ficially tell Warden BOtkin goodbye.
1t was Botkin who carried more trou-
BILE to Governor Capper in the 1912
campaign thar all other orators. j
was Botkin who visited the country
towns and delivered to the ministers.
the temperance union workers, the
doctors and the mothers select copies
of advertisements which had from
time 10 time appeared 1E the Capper
publications. Political wise men are
confident the governor never quite
forgave the unkind things BOtkin said
in that battle. Besides, Botkin is q
Democrat
Jones in his charges filed with Gov
ernor Capper sets out fifteen reasons
why Botl1in should be ousted. Among
the more serious complaints are
charges to the effect that Botkin bor-
rowed money from convicts, that he
permitted the escape of inmates of the
prison, that the prison mine has been
allowed to deteriOrate, that employees
have been discharged for political rea-
sons, that convicts were permitted to
work in the homes of prison officials
land employees and that the Botl&tn
administration has been season of
inefficiency and mismanagement.
Botkin today stated that ne was not
worried about the charges and that
he would not resign or quit under fire
He said he would come to Topeka to
fight any effort looking toward his
removal. Some time ago, Botkin said,
sign. No request to quit was sent by
mail or served officially. J. J.
Schenck of Topeka, w. P. Hackney
of Winfield and j. T. Lafferty of Kan
sas City will appear counsel for
Botkin.
B. d. Jones, who filed the complaint
against Botkin, was formerly an en-
y zee in the insane ward at the state
prison. Because of his alleged po
litical activity, he was dismissed from
the service in 1913. Since that time
he has carried more or less trouble to
the warden. Following his discharge,
he filed suit against Botkin in the SUI
preme court and has recently been
busy, it is claimed, in the preparation
of the charges now in the hands of the
governor.
A hearing probably will be held in
a few weeks before commission
from the house and senate. The COM
mission will be named by the governor.

New York, July 3.-On the author
ity of Charles Becker's counsel, Mar
tin T. Manton, it was said today that
if Becker fails in his appeal to the
United States supreme court. he will,
before going to the electric chair for
the murder of Herman ROsenthal,
make a public disclosure of the names
of the men with whom he is alleged
money collected from gamblers and
keepers of illegal resorts during his
career as head of the famous police
strong arm squad. Six men, some of
them police department officials, are
understood to be involved in the state
ment Becker has prepared while
awaiting the outcome of appeals to
Governor Whitman and the United
States supreme court.
Becker will make a clean breast of
the grating said Mr.. Manton. HE
will issue a statement, not for pay but
to divide the guilt of graft. He real
ICES his perilOus position and does not
set of men to use others as he has
been used. He wishes to have the
truth off his mind as soon as possible"
1t was said that Becker's statement
would attempt to explain the death of
Big Tim Sullivan, who was believed
to have been killed by a New Haven
railroad train.

NIarshaII's Band Concert.

The program of the MarshalPs band
concert at the auditorium last night
was transposed on account of the late
arrival of the Modoc club and the
audience heard several extra numbers
by the band. There was a good atten-
dance, although the crowd did not
come up to expectation. Every num-
Der was well received and the singing
by the MOdocs was especially appre-
ciated. The singers went to Perry yes
terday and were due to arrive - To-
peka at $50 o'clock. A blowout de-
layed them on the road and they did
not get to the auditorium until about
o'clock. Several selections were rem
dered by the band during the delay in
their arrival. The Modoc club sang a
parody on HTfpperary" with Mar
shall's band and Seattle as a subject.
A bass solo was the feature of the per
Torrance of the club.
