His 22-Year-Old Brother,

on Charges of Murder by the
Police at Evansville. ind
Story of Accident is Discred-
ited.

Evansville, Ind, Aug. S.-Willie Def.
fendoll, seventeen years Of age, to.
gether with his brother. Dolly, aged
%, are being held on charges of muir
der in connection with the recent kilt
ing of their seventy-year old moth
er, Mrs. Martha Deffendoll.
The former confessed today, ac-
cording to Coroner Warmer Kriekhaus,
that he shot and killed his mother.
According to Willie's story, as relat.
ed by the coroner he and his mother
were out walking through he woods
after squirrels when the hammer OF
his gun struck tree and was acci-
dentally discharged, the load passing
through his mothers back.
The boy claims, says the coroner,
that when he saw his mother lying
wounded on the ground that rather
than see her suffering continue he
shot her twice more, resulting in her
instant death.
While the officials say the confes-
sion clears up the mystery of who
killed the woman, they put little faith
in the story of the first shot being &C.
cidental, and claim that the boy has
admitted that he had a quarrel with
his mother the day before when he re
turned from Bonneville without get
ting a job.

Wholesale Bald Friday.

The gang began chickensteaging
operations on wholesale scale Fri
day night, when a raid was made on
the poultry yard of DIR. c. v. Collier,
located in the rear of his residence,
ON Union street. A total OF fifteen
hens were carried away, while anoth-
er was left dead In the coop.
Sunday night Officer Ridley took
Hezeliah Green into custody, and
after little questioning Hezekiah ad-
mitted his guilt. and implicated three
others in the thefts. During yester-
day Richard Israel, Leo Union and a
negro known as Sonny Boy were
placed under arrest by Assistant Chief
McGaulley and Officers Ridley and
Tankersley. They also owned up to
participation in the raid on DR., Col
lier's poultry. and all will probably en-
ter pleas of guilty in city court.
Green, ii developed, is also wanted
on charge of having escaped from
the Glynn county gang recently,
where he was serving a sentence for
larceny. Israel, another Of the quar-
to, has owned up to the theft of about
$50 in cash from Abbotts market
few weeks ago. He will also be tried
on this charge. Union Ii said to
have a previous chain-gang sentence
to his credit. while Sonny Boy also
has lengthy police court record.
Green was committed to city court
yesterday morning by Recorder Pope,
and the other three win very probably
be remanded 10 the county jail this
morning to await sentence for their
numerous transgressions, many OF
which they have already admitted.
