Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Fort Collins.-The Rev. w. e. Ma
son, Coroner w. r. Hollowell and the
grave diggers of the Grandview ceme-
terry were the only persons who at
tended the burial of Clayton Pattison,
two times murderer. and suicide.
Coroner Hollowell, having had the
body of Pattison left on his hands by
the daughters. who took the body OF
their mother to Denver with them, ar
ranged for the burial of the suicide in
the potter's field. He was adverse to
having the remains inferred without
any services and obtained the serv-
ices of the Baptist preacher. The
services were brief, only a simple
prayer being offered for the repose of
the dead mans soul.
With the burial of Pattison, who
murdered Robert Il. Showalter and
Mrs. Pattison and then took his own
life, persons who knew him have
come forward in his defense since his
daughters have publicly denounced
the father as having failed to support
his family or contribute toward them.
An officer OF the Farmers Irriga-
tion Company at Loveland, where
Pattison worked for years, made the
following statement:
Clayton Pattison worked for our
company for number of years. |
knew him well and never saw the
slightest thing in the mans demeanor
which indicated that he was not all
right No act Of his ever caused me
to consider bim such a man as he has
been painted by his daughters who
came after the mothers body and left
the remains of the father behind for
burial in the potter's field
"Their act seemed to be rather un-
natural, especially in view of the fact
that he was their father and that he
is dead and cannot answer for HIM
self.
"Tha daughters charge that the man
did not work and that he failed to do
anything toward supporting the family
and even compelling the mother to go
out and eStort money from others. In
the years that Pattison worked for us
| know that he sent money to his wife
regularly.
Not only that. but personally I
have mailed many of his checks to
his wife. When he had charge Of one
of our reservoirs, he left Mrs. Patti
sons address with me. and month
after month mailed his entire check
to her. She received the money. in.
dorsing the checks. which were not
slow in coming back TO us.

of the man who is dead and cannot
answer the attacks made upon him"
