LA GRANDE INVESTMENT CO. Foley Hotel' Block Pendleton, June; 16. (Special) Newspapers here last night shed more light on the recent tragedy at Milton. That Joe Harper, murdered yester day by , Mrs. Nannie Myrtle Kyle at Milton, told an untruth on his death bed when he declared he knew his slayer only as a passenger on his car, la the belief of many Milton and Walla Walla acquaintances of both parties today. ; ' . - Instead, it is said that Harper's fail ure to fulfill a pledge to the woman that If she obtained a divorce he would do likewise go that they could marry, provoked her to the spectacular mur der win eulvlue ul JcUlua. ' That the crime was fully premedita tated and not the result of an lnsajio hallucination, as originally supposed, seems likely also In the face of evi dence that the woman remained ' up the entire night preceding the double tragedy,, writing three letters to per sons as yet unknown and sending her 13-jcar-bld son to the drug store for carbolic acid with which she said she wished to doctor an injured foot. V Intended Suicide. If, as has been commonly reported, the dead woman was in a delicate con dition and Harper, as has also been said, was responsible, this unquestion ably furnished the . motive. It is pre sumed that Mrs. Kyle originally In tended to committe suicide, but she later determined to take Harper with her to eternity. , " Joe. Harper, the victim of the Kyle woman, according to the Milton Eagle, which showed commendable news paper enterprise by publishing an ex tra edition wlhin an hour after the double tragedy, was generally regard ed as a popular official. He was the brother f Tom !trper,' who also ran on the Interurban, and a son of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Harper of the state line neighborhood. He was married and had a son, Thomas, about 5 years old. Mrs. Kyle had been marrfcd about 13 years, obtaining her divorce in Pen-H dle'.on last month. Mother In Asylum. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Cecilia Peterson of Helix and Mrs. Jchn Clay, who was last heard from at Spokane. Her mother, Mrs. John Pnrns, Is said to be In the asylum at Salem. Not only did she plan her own self- destruction after having taken the life of Joe Harper, but she made Careful riarations so that her death would !ir rertaln. If bullets had failed to ord her life she would undoubtedly have resorted to poison. The- revolver with which she com mitted the double tragedy was of the Ivrr Johnson - make and 38 , caliber an J had been purchased together with six cartridges the night before. Two of the cartridges were; found in her hnr-.d bag after her death. Besides, securing the revolver, she had sent her 13-year-old son to the drug store the night before to secure a !al of carbolic acid with which she undoubt edly Intended to complete her self destruction, if the bullets failed. Motive Only Surmised. The motive of the terrible double tragedy is still clouded and will prob ably never be entirely cleared. That there was some degree of intimate re lationship between the - two victims seems indisputable and yet, it there was any scandal connected with this relationship, it wat not widely known, for the dead woman bore a good rep utation among her neighbors. , J. N. York of Dry Creek, for whom her former husband was building a house when the divorce was granted, states' that he attempted at that time to smooth matters over but was con vinced that the wife was too well ac quainted with Conductor Harper. Robert Storle, at whose home Mrs. Kyle lived during the past ten months, is unable to throw, much light on the matter. He declares that several .weeks ago she told him that Mr. Harper was too bold. Yes terday morning, he says, at 6:33 she called to him asking the time and Im mediately departed from the house without a word of explanation. A3 she had been employed at & packing house , in Freewater for some time, no suspicion was excited. Looked to Heaven. She walked rapidly to the waiting place for the cars which is the foun tain on Main street. People there de clare that as she approached she was seen . looking to heaven and mutter ing to herself but nothing else strange was noticed Jn her " demeanor. . She entered the car with Mrs. J. D. Bird, wLile the conductor was engaged is turning over the seats for the return trip.; . '; ' : Fired Fonr Times. When his back wag within a few feet of her she drew a revolver and fired four times, and then suicided. She fell backward in the arms of E. L. Holt, who was In the car and died af ter gasping but twice. Harper was placed aboard the car and rushed to. Walla WaTla; but was told by physicians that he fad but one chance in a hundred to live. "Oh, isn't it awful," he moaned and all the way to Walla Walla pleaded with the doctorg to end his misery with chlor oform. He died at 11:25 without hav ing thrown any light on the cause of the .tragedy. Several times he said: (Continued on Page Eight) VE WOO. G-UAVE Plenty of Nice . . . j! .
