PROPER
FINISHES THE CASE
duplicates Miller; Pos
sibly Enough for
Conviction

The final effort of Detective Pro-
per, who untangles the intricate web
of mystery connected with the kill
ing of John Longnecker ann Henry
Smith, was in duplicating Frank
according to statement made to
Miller in the affair as a principal,
a Democrat reporter before leaving
town Saturday afternoon.
This was accomplished through a
statement made by j. R. Rich of
near Tyrone in regard to a CONVEX
sation he had with Miller on May
9th, and which will be introduced
as evidence at the trial of Miller
which will be held in Hugoton in
September.
After duplicating Hosea Ellis, Mr..
Proper was not satisfied, believing
Miller had more to do with the case
than had been discovered, So he de-
voted some time to te effort of Sc
curing more evidence against him.
Bit by bit he pieced together cir.
cumstances which brought Mr.. Rich
into the case as a witness and ther
secured signed statement.
According to Mr.. Proper, Miller
knew that Ellis intended to Kill
Smith several days before the kill
ing took place, and he expects tt
prove this, which will make Mile
a principal in the case, and liabl,
to the same punishment.
The following is the statement o
Mr.. Rich given to Detective Proper
| Il went to the post office. at Ty
rome about 4 p. m. and met Mile
coming out. spoke to Miller abou
the finding of the Smith body an,
rsaid that | understood that it wa
found near where the woman com
mitted suicide several years ago
Miller said 1t was found on the Hay
worth place. Miller then stated tha
if the body was found where the,
said, that it had been placed ther,
since noon, because II was on tina
very spot at noon yesterday, wher,
they said they found It," He statet
that he had heard that they ha,
found it by an old cultivator ant
that he was at the very spot at moor
on Thursday, the 26th of May, 1921
The above statement is just as
remember the conversation haC
with Miller on the day mentioned
above.

Proper demonstrated his abilit!
in this case, which he terms the mos
difficult he has ever handled. Th'
first clue pointed to the nephew o,
John Longnecker. This was fol
lowed for several weeks, resulting
in the capture of Longnecker. TIL,

Grading and Track Laying Crews Starting New
Railroad to Colorado Line; Held Up
Only Two Days for Explanations
ROAD is FINANCED AND WORK
WILL BE PUSHED TO COMPLETION
Fate of the FOrgan Line is in the Balance; 1t
Can be Secured With Proper Effort
We Must Get Behind Matter.

Just at the time when it seemed
that the Kansas & Oklahoma rail-
road proposition had died a natural
death, gangs of workmen appeared,
some material arrived, and a track
laying crew and big grading crew
started work on the line from Lib
eral to the Colorado line, going
west through Hugoton, county seat
of Morton county.
Mr. Byers was down from Hutch
inson two weeks ago, but did not
give out any encouragement when
interviewed by Democrat reporter.
He left the impression that he had
lost interest in the building Of the
line, and that it was doubtful
whether or not he would devote the
necessary time to the venture.
However, it is likely that the 10
cal fellows who have worked long
hours trying to put it over influ-
enced him to again take hold, for a
right-of-way which had gone back
week or so later he purchased some
to the owner because of delay, and
the next thing Liberal folks knew,
the workmen appeared on the job
and started the work.
Work was temporarily stoppe.i a
couple Of days to iron out diff
ference over the franchise run out
last December and the work was
halted until the council could meet
and grant new one, which was
done last night.
It now seems that Mr.. Byers has
overcome all the obstacles which
have blocked his path and is going
to build the road to the Colorado
line at an early date.
The fate of the Forgan line is not
yet certain. Mr.. Byers would not
comment on the possibilities of this
being built. However, The Demo-
crat is of the opinion that with the
proper encouragement Mr.. Byers
would undertake the building of that
line. 1t is largely up to the farmers
of that section and the business
people of Liberal as to that, and
when all realize the advantage of
the road we feel sure it will go
across easily.
We are told that on account of
freight rates, the Forgan elevators
are able to out-bid Liberal buyers
Is cents per bushel, and that lot
of wheat is going from Liberal ter
ritory to Forgan. This is not par
ticularly gratifying to the business
interests of the city,, neither is it a
source of satisfaction to the farmer
in this territory, who is too far from
Forgan to be able to take advan-
tage Of the difference.
! We think there should be de-
termined effort on the part of the
Liberal boosters to get Mr.. Byers
to start work on this line also. We
Judge that he feels the town as a
whole does not care particularly
whether this road is built >or not
and while this is not the case by
any means, little pep and encour
agement would prove this 'to his
satisfaction.
Now let's all get right square
back of Byers and help him built
this road from Forgan to Trinidad
and see Liberal double in population
within the next two years.
