MURDER
THEORY
Disproved in the Case
; ; of Mrs- Palmer.

'Husband Exonerated
From Suspicion. ;
, 'The Xelli Palmer murder myetery at
ralrvlew was evidently a 'case "of to
much mother-in-law. ' '- T
Edward Palmer, the husband of the
' woman who, the Coroner's Jury 'said,
committed suicide April 6, waa placed
under suspicion of being a, ' murderer
through th prattling of a 1-year-old in-
fant and the reports given out. by his
dead wife' relatlvea ; i
- Kdward Palmer aayt that tnervould
never -have been any ; trouble between
himself and wife If her numeroua rela

I li says ha married his wife through
love and sympathy attar aha had been
cast astd by another man, but that ever
-, thereafter continue! : auira was . stirred
v'p by. his mother-in-law and others. ,
Mrs. Palmar had a mania for Suicide
and on several occasions tried to end a
life that m none too happy at beavomy
. a few weeks before she shot herself she
, took laudanum, with suicidal -intent" and
her life was saved by her husband. . " '
'Charges were made yesterday by.; Fred
1 Wagner, a relative, that caused the au
thorities to Investigate the death of Mrs.
Palmer,- Deputy District Attorney John
, Manning 'and Harry Meyers and George
McMillan of the Sheriff's 'office went to
Falrvlew Ust ,'eveulng and thoroughly!
ventilated the whole matter.
"' They found no nlrcumatanee t war
' rant the arrest of Edward palmer, the
husband, wbo Waa placed finder susplo
t r too by his little 8-year-old baby saying:
"Papa shoot mama in th mouth. Papa
get out thawmdoW..;'?;.;'-1!:'-':
, It was found that on the morning of
the tragedy. Mr. Palmer left home early
' to work for a, neighbor. The .child waa
th Jtacl on tip and found the mother
dead In the kitchen. At this juncture
tramp came along to aflc for food and
Immediately, cava the alarm to Mr. and
airs. Byers, who live hear by, The By
ers arrived on the soene at 7:25. The
' husband waa at Axteirs. where ha was
at ererk at t.-ftS. : When the Byers arrived
' oa the spot Mrs., palmer was Weeding
profusely, and : had evidently bee - shot
but a minute or two before. .. - '
Kong of the children were dressed, and
there waa no blood on the floor except
, whera the womaa f lay. ;!4 ' -?. :
All these facts were' brought out and
the- officers , ascertained, to their own
: . satisfaction and to that of the eomrati
nity that there had been bo foul play
and that Mrs. .Palmer did kUl herself.
According to R. L. Robinson, broth-
er-ln-law, there had been numerous bick
ering and 16U of family trouble. These
are said to have been caused In every
instance by the interference t relatives
between the man and his wife Besides
-. thhv It la known . in the neighborhood
; that, she bad a mania for aelf-destruo-tlon,'
and admitted to her friends that
she was afraid she would not only kill
' herself some, day, but her children also.
Palmer la almost heartbroken over the
- turn the tragedy has taken, and wept
llkea child yesterday when talking to
the. officers. He is grief stricken that he
should have been accused of the crime,
' even by suspicion, and from the facta, as
w.V developed by the officers there was no
Justification for It. 1
Plenty of Water Now.
, What has been considered Quite a seri
ous drawback to the development of
Bnermaa County, has been the scarcity
: of water.' Resident there have been com
pelled either to dig wells from 0 to ft
feet In- depth or to baul water by teama
from a eomnderable distance. This was
particularly true so far as Kent, on the
Una of the Columbia Southern waa con.
rerned. Thla has all been changed by
, - the action of badgers.. One of these an-
v imals, while burrowing in the ground,
, opened up a spring of excellent water.
This has been utilized by the inhabitants
r- who find it equal to all demands made
tipon it. . w f;r; .

CITIZENS STILL
' PROTESTING
If any further evidence Is desired by
those Interested In ths outrage the Car
boilneum Paving Company Is working
on the city, let the curloua one walk
down Fourth street this afternoon and
make a close Inspection of the' several
loads of wooden blocks dumped at the
rear, of Woodard. Clarke & Co.'s build
ing,; -
After The Journal's full expose of the
methods pursued by the paving com
pany many were lenient enough to aay,,
"Oh, well, give them a. show. Thsy will
do better after they get in running
shape."
Instead of any Improvement In the
method of treating the blocks, matters
have drifted from bad to worse.- Oreat
care was taken by the firm to give the
first blocks they turned out a soaking in
their worthless tartal mixture to give
their exterior a dark look. Many of the
blocks were carefully selected and some
were free from knots.
Ths blocks dumped on the street this
morning are far different Fully 15 per
cent of them are a bunch of knots, while
50 per cent of them look as If only por
tion of them ever reached the liquid in
the tar pot. They have evidently been
dumped Into the mixture and after hav
ing been given a stir around; fished out
and sent to the street to be put down
as block "subjected to treatment of
the mixture, at a pressure Of 110 pounds
to the square inch." i .V-' " 'f
Such a claim is the height of absurd
ity. Any one with a pair ef eyes can
see that many of the blocks, while being
given their bath, have adhered to each
other and their sides show the natural
color and grain of the wood In its natural
State. v '. A .ijt ,;i
No one need be told anything about
the utility of the blocks filled with knots
as a child knows that the first heavily
laden wagon or truck croasing. such
blocks will split the knots out and leave
the clear Wood to be ground into splint
ers . ':.-."
Owners of property abutting on that
portion of Fourth street now being re
paired set up a big howl this morning
when they saw the sort of material be
ing put down. Blocks were split open
and their interiora found free from" the
all-penetrating preservative, but in It
stead the natural sap of the wood.' But
what can they do? They signed the
petition foxaWhat they are getting and
urged the city to contract with the firm.
It Is said that the contract la so. worded
that ah Injunction will not 'reach the
contractors, and in that event the property-owners
who must pay for ths "Im
provements" can .only tear their, heir or.
grin and bear It
Meanwhile, the whole city Is disgraced
by a repetition of the folly that has often
been practiced before in the matter of
paving the streets With wooden blocks.
