Jesse James Gibbs, Dead As
Result of Triangle Brother-In-Law
Surrenders After
Quarrel Fight Over Wife's
Affections Fatal.
Jesse James Gibbs, 28, a mill
worker and Coos county homesteader,
is dead and Hyman Huntley, G8, a
laborer. Is in the county Jail, as a re
sult of a stabbing affray early Sun
day morning at their homo in this
city. Bad blood over the attentions
paid to Mrs. Ilattio Huntley by the
dead man, is given by the authori
ties as the causa of the fatal quar
rol. Huntley, aftor the battle, sur-
rendered to the police. A coroner's
l Inquest will be held and a formal
charge filed against Huntley today.
Coroner Conger took immedlato
charge of the body after tho killing-
The sheriff's office version o the
affair Is as follows:
The two men are brother-in-laws,
and with their families have been
living in a shack near the end of
second street. Gibbs has been em
ployed by tho Tomlin Box factory,
working nights, and sleeping days in
a shed. The Huntley's bad been
quarreling, and Gibbs was blamed
for the domestic storms.
Saturday night, a Ilov. Dewey con
ducted a prayer meeting at the
Huntley homo, and Gibbs went to a
nearby -shed, where ho slept on a
mattress thrown Into tho corner. This
was about eight o'clock. The prayer
meeting concluded about midnight.
The domestic trouble of tho Hunt
ley's was a subject of discussion, and
the Rev. Dency advised Mrs. Hunt
ley to pray alone for peace with her
L mate. In 'accordance with the 'sug
gestion, Mrs. Huntley Is said to have
gone to mo snca wnero utuus was
sleeping and knelt in prayer.
Huntley, according to tho sheriff's
office, called tho rest of tho family,
and went to the shed, and all ovca
dropped. While this was going on
Mrs. Huntloy left, and a quarrel
started with her husband. In tho
course of the argument, Huntley is
alleged to have hit his wife in the
face. Cltbbs, presumably awakened
by the hubbub, appeared on the
scene and took Huntley to task for,
the attack on Mrs. Huntley. I
A fight started, and tho enraged
men battled over tho yard, and Into
a lean-to kitchen, where Huntley
grabbed a knife and stabbed tllbbs
IS times, it is alleged. A thrust intoj
the heart caused death. Most of tho
knife wounds arc 111 the chest. The
wounds were inflicted by a pocket
knife.
Gibbs, mortally wounded, stagger
ed out of the kitchen, and about 40
feet from tho door collapsed and
died. Huntley came up town, and
waited at the police station and sur
rendered to Night Policeman Joe
Cave. When the officers arrived on
fc the sceno Gibbs was dead. Huntley
talked freely of the trouble and
expressed no rcinomc. 111 tho com
bat he sustained a bad beating
about the face. j
Sheriff Jennings and Deputy Forn-j
crook visited tho Huntley home Sun
day and secured stntcmnets from the
two wives, who claim to he sisters,
and their muther. who lives with
them. Thero are eight children in the
two families, ranging from two to
eight years of ago. Tho statements
were not made public, but revealed
nothing new.
Mrs. Gibbs came to this city two
months ago for hospital attention,
and Cllblis came from his Coos coun
ty homestead when she became a
mother of twins, who died. Ho se
cured employment, and lived with
the Huntley family since.
The Hunt leys have lived here
about a year, and according to tho
authorities, have had stormy times.
Both tho wives woro visited yoster
dny by members of their religious
faith, lloth bcramo hysterical, and
wept bitterly, and wero unablo - to
make coherent statements. !
Tho two families havo been living
1 In three tumble-down shacks, in most
ftfcigualid conditions.
