DETAILS OF LYNCHING OF
FOUR CATTLEMEN MONDAY
IN OKLAHOMA
DALLAS. Tex, April 2a In a
special Joe Carter, one of the four
guards on duty at the time of the
lynching of four cattlemen at Ada,
Okla yesterday, it quoted as follows:
"The first I knew of the presence
of the mob was at 2:10, when six
masked men suddenly appeared at the
waiting room in the run around the
cells and covered me and Jim Mc
Carty with their guns. McCarry and
I held the watch for this part of the
night. They told us to step aside and
hand over the jail keys. I told them
we hare no keys; that a gentleman in
another room had the keys.
"At this moment about twenty more
men appeared thronging through the
hall of the courthouse and from every
where else, it seemed to me, saying.
"Keep quiet, men, and give up the
keys.'
"The men were all masked- They
kept me and McCarty under cover of
their gnns and proceeded to wake up
Guards Walter Goins and Bob Nestor
and took the keys away from them.
"Nestor rose from his bed with his
gun and the masked men hit Kim
over the head with their gun and left
him stunned. ,The men forced Coins
to open the heavy doors to the cells.
They then took Miller from his cell
and fastened a rope around his neck
and bound his hands at his back with
wire.

"Jesse West was the next man
taken out and the mob said, 'Tell us

"West said: Til tell you nothing.
They then hit him over the head with
their six shooters and said: 'D- - n

West repeated, "I'll tell you nothing
and gave fight to the mob.
"The rest of the prisoners then be
gan to plead for their lives.
"Then I rushed through and went
out on the street after help, where I
met the two night policemen and
all went back and got one third of
the distance down the hall of the
courtroom when we were again held
up and compelled to retreat and I
never saw any of the mob leave the

C. S. JORDAN ON TRIAL
FOR KILLING WIFE
HAS BEEN IN JAIL SINCE LAST
SEPTEMBER AND MADE
A CONFESSION.
BOSTON. Mass, April 19,-Chest-er
S. Jordan of Somerville, who has
been in jail since last September,
when he was arrested and confessed
that he killed his wife and cut her
hnAv m nieces. honins to hide the
crime, will be placed on trial tomor
row in the Superior Court ot Mut
dlesex County. It is believed that
the defense will base its case on a
plea of temporary insanity. Jordan,
who is a young man of about fhirtv
years of age. is a brother-in-law of
Jesse R. Livermore, the New York
cotton speculator, and it is under
stood that the Livermore millions
will be used freely in an effort to
keep Jordan from going to the elec
tric chair. Three of the ablest crim
inal lawyers of Massachusetts have
been engaged to conduct the defense.
The killing of Mrs. Jordan last
September attracted widespread at
tention owivr to the circumstances
surrounding the crime and the sub
sequent arrest of the young husband.
The murder was one of the most
gruesome with which the Boston
police ever had to deal. The victim,
Hcmorah Jordan, was an actress, aged
twenty-three years- Jordan killed
the woman in their home in Somer
ville. Then he went out and bought
a butcher's knife and a saw. with
which he dismembered the bod. He
severed his wife's head, also the legs.
Then he tried to destroy all trace of
them by burning them in the furnace
of his home
He put the rest of the body in a
trunk and came into Boston with the
ghastly burden, stopping at a board
ing house preliminary, to taking a
steamer for New York. It was his
intention to get rid of what remained
of his wife by throwing the torso into
the water while the boat was en route
for New York.
The cabman who took Jordan and
his trunk to the boarding-house be
came suspicious about its contents
while carrying the trunk into the
house. Its weight made him think
it contained stolen silverware, and the
nervous manner of Jordan satisfied
him the man was a burglar. There
had been many robberies of silver
ware recently. The cabman, be
lieving he was on the trait of the
thief, went to the police and told
them of the mysterious trunk.
Officers were detailed to go to the
tn.irHini7-hoiise and investigate.
When, they reached the house Jordan
was not in, but the policemen were
shown the room Jordan had engaged
and found the trunk. The police did
not open the trunk.
About 5 o'clock Jordan returned
Accosted in the hallway by the offic
er he at first denied his identity.
Later he admitted who he was. Ask
ed about his trunk he denied he had
one. He was ordered to his room by
the ojScers, however, and commanded
to open the trunk- Jordan did not
appear in the least nervous or alarm
ed, but hesitated to open the trunk.
It was not until after considerable
argument on the part of the officer
that he produced the key and inserted
it in the lock. Turning his head to
one side so he could not see inside
the trunk, Jordan threw up the cover
and then sank back on his knees,
burying his face in his hands and sob
bing. The police staggered back aghast
at the sight disclosed. In the open
trunk before them la a sickening mass
of hacked flesh, a woman's torso fill-
jing the greater part of the trunk,
! while pieces of flesh from other parts
;of the body were stuffed into the cor
Iners, the entire interior of the trunk
i being bespattered with blood.
j Jordan submitted without protest
to the handcuffs and was taken to the
! station. There he speedily regained
; his composure and made a full confes
jsion of the killing. He said that after
jhis marriage he and his wife went on
! the vaudeville stage. On account of
I his poor health the gave up their en
gagements and returned to Somer
ville to live. Mrs. Jordan, according
to the husband, had taken to drinking
and he said, was associated with other
men and he became jealous. It was
in a jealous quarrel that the trouble
started which ended in the death of
the wife. Jordan declared that his
wife struck him first, that he then
knocked her down and was errificd to
find he had killed her. That happen
ed at 7:30 o'clock in the evening.
Fearing discovery of his crime, he
conceived the idea of cutting the body
up, taking it away on one of the
steamers and throwing the parts
overboard and then reporting to the
police that his wife had left him.
Jordan, according to his confession,
while dazed at the awfulness of his
deed, went about in a careful manner
carrying out his plans, which were
frustrated twenty-four hours later by
the suspicions of the cabman. During
his long period in jail Jordan has
maintained the same comparative
calm that he exhibited when he was
arrested and apparently feels confid
ent that he will get off.

CANINE PRINCE DOES
THE WINDY CITY
FAMOUS ST. BERNARD DOO
FROM SEATTLE SUCCUMBS
TO A BAD COLD.
CHICAGO, April 20.Pritce. a St.
Ilernard dog. belonging to Francis
Dritxe of Seattle, started from New
York last week across the continent
to see his master. During a few days'
stop over in Chicago he contracted a
bad cold, which quickly developed
into pneumonia. Although E, C. Sul

seeing the sights, summoned a vet
erinary surgeon, the big St. Bernard
died, Mr, Sullivan immediately plan
ned a funeral for the animal, which
had saved no less than nine lives and
had taken prizes at shows through
out the country. Prince has been laid
away in a copper-lined coffin decorat

ducted by Mr. Sullivan and a party of
friends.
NEW YORK LETTER
NEW YORK, April 20.-Armsed
over the killing of more than a
hundred persons by automobiles dur
ing the past) fifteen months in this
city, and by the rapidly increasing
number of serious accidents caused by
the recklessness of the drivers of cars,
a number of prominent citizens have
inaugurated a movement for the vig
orous prosecution of offender against
speed laws. It was f!t that a condi'
tion of afTjiir under which more per
son were killed on the streets of N'ew
York than during the entire Spvnisli
American war was one that demand'
ed a remedy. It is intended to make
the movement jut initiated . nation
wide in extent and to keep it up until
the speed-criminal is exterminated or
reformed. The great majority of sit
tomohilUts who feel that as a class
they have suffered from the excesses
of a few reckle drivers are joining
heartily in the crusade against the
modern juggernaut. The Automobil"
Club of America, which i recognized
as the most influential body of motor
ists in the country, has taken action to
discourage carelessness and violation
of speed laws. One of the firt re
suits of the agitation that has been
started has been to stimulate the
metropolitan police force to unwonted
activity, while the local judges have
done their part by dealing severely
with all cases of overspeeding brought
before them. Altogether It begins to
look as though the diversion of run
ning down pedestrians in N'ew York
streets may soon become too danger
ous to be attractive even to the most
! hardened automaniac.
N'ew York seems to be invention
mad. F.very new device in the field
of scientific advance from flying ma
chines to needles find quick and en
thusiastic reception here. This is in
marked contrast to the attitude of
only a few years ago when the city's
attitude was one of skepticism which
laughed even at the telephone to say
nothing of many other inventions
which it now uses. Father Knicker
bocker has experienced a change of
heart in this respect which bids fair
to make this city the scientific center
of the country. Already for example,
two companies for the manufacture of
commercial aidships have been organ
ized here, and the Hotel Astor will
soon have in operation here on its
roof an airship station where the visi
tor who cares to drop in for tea by
the aerial route can draw up in his
air carriage. The enthusiasm for
wireless telegraphy, having captured
the city, has spread to the suburbs.
At the Hotel Oramatan, in the fash
ionable Westchester residence district
outside the city, the business com
munications incident to the operation
of the hotel arc conducted by wireless
and the wealthy persons who make it
their home have also taken up the fad
of talking to friends in cities equipped
with wireless stations or on board in
coming and outgoing steamers. An
other craze is for the use of carrier
pigeons, many persons preferring to
use these birds for the interchange of
letters instead of the regular mails.
Although the city seems to have been
seized with a desire to live in the air
as much as possible, and it only re
mains for some one to dnscover a
way of living on it as well.
he was horrified to find that the bar
ber instead of a trimming had given
him a clean shave. To add to his
trouble his wife, who like himself is
a believer in the Hebrew faith, refused
to admit him on his return home,
holding that the Scripture forbade his
being shaved. He was hooted in the
street and finally took his trouble to a
magistrate. The barber was finally
found and lodged in jail, but no solu
tion of the problem has yet been dis
covered, Only nature can restore the
whiskers and the barber does not ap
pear to be guilty of any crime yet
tabulated. The only resource of the
whiskerless and homeless patriarch,
say the lawyers, is in a suit to re
cover damages, in which" event a com
mercial value in beards will be es
tablished here for the first time.
