supreme court of this state decides
that Esther Mitchell cannot be de
ported to Oregon as an insane per
son, and she is sent to trial for tbe
murder of her brother, George, tbe
slayer of Joshua Creffield, the Holy
Roller leader, Mrs. Maud Hurt
Creffield's death about midnight
last night will remove any hesitan
cy Miss Mitchell's attorneys had
about shouldering the responsibili
ty upon Mra Creffield.
The county attorney now expects
that Mrs Creffield will be made re
sponsible for the tragedy, Miss
Mitchell's attorney insisting tbat
ebe was entirely under the influence
of Joshua and later, of his wife.
An autopsy wag performed on
Mre. C.effield todey and her organs
found to be in good condition. An
alysis of her stomach will not be
completed for a day or two acd the
possibility of poisoning will not be
settled for that lergth of time. Bat
a verdict of a natural death seems
probable.
Dr. Eamee, one of tbe three phy
sicians who examined Mrs. Crtffield
for her sanity, declared tonight tbat
the autopa? showing tbe woman's
organs in a normal condition did
not. indicate anything. He said
tbat thre are daily ie ports ut deaths
from bart disease where a subse
quent examination of that organ
showed it to be in a normal condi
tion. He says the brain does not
show in death the softening indicat
ed in life. ' .
Dr. Eames entirely discredits the
report of tbe autopsy and insists
that Mrs Creffield was insane.
