R. Van Royen. his brother-ln law. McMahon Is to be taken to the penitentiary to safeguard him from lynching. Ac cording to the prosecutor no charges will be preferred against Patrick McMahon, who is exonerated by his brother’s confession. ConfeeMion Folk h « Sweating. Prosecutor Taggart and Sheriff Becker sweated James McMahon for two hours. Then McMahon collapsed and confessed all. "Yes, I killed my sisUrs and broth er-in-law and I was crazy when I did it,” he shouted, rising out of his chair and pacing the room. “It took me three months to plan and execute the crime. Day by day the picture of their dead bodies lying before me grew, and at last, two weeks ago, I saw It all. My plan was perfect. "I bought a revolver In Kansas City, Mo. Going home I carefully waited until I knew my intended vic tims would be in the right positions for me to kill them and get away Tuesday. Rose went to visit the Van Royens and Lon went to the woods. To make sure he was not at home. I went to the house and learned where the was. I found him and shot him in the head. He fell, and I fired six shots into his back I always ha ted him. I dragged his body across the creek and then prepared to finish the deed. Crime Carefully Planned. "For an hour I wAdered about planning. Then I walked into the house and found my sisters. "My first shot probably killed Mrs. Van Royen, as she sat on a chair. She screamed and fell. Rose ____ started up to speak to me and I shot her dead. "With the two women tX __", virtually dead, I was free to take my time. I fired two more shots into the body of Mrs. Van Royen, and five more in to Rose's body. I did not hurry away. I was not unduly excited. It was the culmination of my only thought for months. “I searched the house and found some rings and other valuables, I took all of them and my revolver and hid them in a corn shock.” A long standing quarrel over prop erty owned by the mother of the McMahons, caused the tragedy.
