" i ., MITCHELL IS SHOT TO DEATH Slayer of "Holy Boiler" Meets Death at Hands of Sister. ' Seattle, Wash., July 12. Revenge, terrible, swift and premeditated sums up the killing of George Mitchell by his eighteen-year-old s sister Esther Mitchell today. Esther Mitchell is the girl for wbrmrGeorge shed the "blood of Franz Edmund Creffield when he shot down the leader of the so-called Holy Rollers" in Seattle ou May 7th. It was because of ; her alleged mal treatment by the fanatical leader that Mitchell took his life and risked hie own, and his own cold-blooded murder is his reward. . ? r - Mitohell was about to board the i :30 train at the Uniou depot for Portland, where he was to take up his residence and begin his life anew, when Esther eft her two brothers ostensibly for the , purpose of; bidding George good bye, but instead, as George turned half around to greet her she produced a revolver hidden under a cloak hung over her arm, and fired once, the bullet entering the left ear. , . Mitohell fell to the ground dead, and the weapon of death and destruc tion was wrenched from the hand of the child murderess by her brother Fred, woiie another brother, Perry Mitchell, caught the trembling form of his sister in his arms, crying out: "Oh, Esther, hwo could you do it.". Quickly a commotion arose in the depot and the protection of the police was offered to the girl. She submit ted to arrest without protest, and when interrogated as to why .she had commited the crime answered, "I was commanded to do jt." At the police headquarters Chief Wappenstein questioned the girl as to her motives for the crime. "I killed him because he killed Joshua. We were commanded to do it," she said. For 8ale- . . The O.
