Story of Shooting Told By
Two is Corrobor
ated t'.OISK. Idaho. April 12. - Mrs.
Frances Krnst, whose story, told
to a jury two years ago, sent her
husband to the penitentiary for
the murder of F. A. HehberK, to
day told the state board of par
dons through a storm of tears that
she herself had done the killing
for which Charles Ernest is serv
ing a life sentence.

ago at Kehberg's cabin in the
mountain fastness of Lemhi
county.
Divorced from his wife, ErnEt '
had heard and heard tlwt she was
l.viiig at Rehberg's cabin and had
visited the place. At the trial he
testified that he was at the cabin
at the time of the killlftg, but that
Mrs. Ernst had shot Ilehberg with
a rifle. He helped her bury the
body and .then departed. Mrs.
Ernst's testimony placed the
blame upon her husbandt though
he later was charted as an acces
sory and pleaded guiltAy.
The story the woman told today
corroborated her husband's ver
sion of the kill.trg. She said she
herself had fired the r fie that
killed Kehberg after he, liehberg
had threatened her life. They had
quarreled, she said, and Ilehberg
had told her he would not keep
his promise to marry her the
promise on which she had relied
when she divorced her husband
and came to his lonely cabin.
The quarrel was In progress
when Ernst came to the place.
Uehberg, going out of the cabin,
caught sicht of Ernst some dis
tance frcm the cabin. He returned
to the house, accused the woman
of tell ng her husband of their
whereabouts. cursed her and
seized a rifle from the wall, ac
cording lo her confession. They
i-truggled through the door of the
cabin and she wrested the rifle
out of bis hands, falling to her
knees as she did so. Then, as
Keuberg came toward her, she
killed him.
