prompted her to refuse to accompany
her father on his return to Illinois.
"I killed George be'eauso ho IkuI
killed nn innocent maw, and because ho
had ruined my reputation by saying
thnt CreflMd) seduced me." Esther
Mitchell declared, but both her state
ment and that of Mrs. Creflicld indi
cates that tho two had conspired to as
sassinate.
Mrs. Croffleld Bought tho Gun.
Mr?. Croftlcfld prompted tho shooting
and sho bought the gun vrith which it
was done. It had been, agreed between
them -that tho first ono seeing George
should slay him.
Gcongo and Porpy Mitchell were to
have gone to Portland! last night. In
fact, George had made-nil arrangoments
to meet certain newspaper men upon
his arrival. At tho last moment, how
ever, L. TL Sandel, who testified in
Gcorgti's behalf at tho trial, asked
George and Pertry to spend tho night
9s his guests at Southeast Seattle,
where a small group of Holy Rollers,
including Prank Hurt and his wife,
reside. They did' so.
Today Frod Mitchell saw his sister
and ho told her that tho departure of
his biothers had been delayed. He
told her that they would leave Seat
tlo at 4:30 o'clock in. 4110 afternoon.
Sho took tho gun. Mrs. Crefllold had
purchased!, and went to tho depot to
meet them.
Esther Takes Brother's Hand.
Perry Mitchell saw his sister stand
ing near a pillac when ho checked his
grips. Sho had been seated near tho
center of tho xoomi watching for tho
three boys, and had arisen wheo ho
passed. Perny greeted her, ad a mo
ment lnton signaled to George, whom
Esther had! not seen, no approached
and without words tho brother and sis
tor shook hands.
Esther offered to accompany tho
brothers to their waiting train, and
tha four stnrtod down tho ailso toward
tho door. George and Perry Mitchell
wero in front, with Fred and Esther
walking a short disiance behind. Fred
was at tho sido of Esther, but about
two feofc distant. She was canning a
capo thrown over her left arm, and be
neath it was concealed1 tho revolver.
Fred offered to carry tho capo as
tho group passed down tho aisle and
reached for it. As he took it front
Esther's arm sho whipped tho revolver
into har night hand, raised) the gun and
fired. George dropped, killed instant-
- Muf jfeross GolUpsos After Crime.
Esther fell back as Fred Mitchell
reached for hen revolver and sat down
into his lap with, her arms. about his
neck. Fred! had' wrested 'the gun from,
her, but too lato to prevent the k'Jl"
ing. .
By a curious coincidence Officer
Hart, tho man who arrested Mitchell
when ho killed Creffleld, was tho de
pot policemen who took Esther into
custody; for slaying her brother Kurt
turned her over to Officer Mason. To
Mafon the girl aaid, answering a ques
tien:
j'l am George Mitchell 'a sister, and
I khot him."
'Why did you do it" asked Mason.
"I will stake my. statement later
ox$" said tho girl calmly. She did
not show any eaotloa.
Miss Mitchillwaa hurried to the po
lice1 station while the body of George
Mitchell lay a the depot moor, await
ing the coroner. , Aboat the titno Es
ther had reached the station George's
body was carried! frost the station to
ward the aaorgws. Hundreds ef curl-
on spectators, attracted by the sheet
ing, thronged the depst, sunreusvded

stein that they had con.pi-ed to kill Wrefllcld, whom ho declared must have

Mitchell was prepared to follow tiorjl "Don't blamo Esther," he said,
brother to' Portland. It was this iu-!f 'Slio was not responsible It's Mr.

Fred Mitchell supplemented! the
ptatemen- with an explanation that
f had gone to se Esther that morn-
g to effect a reconciliation. Sho do-
lirod to him ngain thnt sho felt a deep
eminent, toward Oeorgo andl did
t believe tho familv had treated' her
property in. giving family details pub
licity. But sho received tho statement
of George and Perry's intending de
parture wi'h apparent interest.
Perry 'b Account of Killing.
At that time she did not indiicato
nay intention of going to tho depot.
Later Ponry Mitchell dictated this
statement' to the chief of police:
"At tho depot I went to check my
frdp, and when I came bnck I saw
Esther standing behind the pillnr
there, looking around the crowd', seem
ingly looking for us.
"Looked na if nothing was tho mat-
iter. I said: 'Why, Esther.' Sluf
naid: 'I just camo down to seo you
oft".' Just then I motioned for George,
Ho camo up nnd spoke to hor (sho
mado tho reanaik to tho matron that
sho wanted to s?o George), and George
shook handk with her there. Sho said:
'I will walk out to the door with you.
I and George walked on ahead, talking.
Sho dropped back, and Fret!) was at
her side. Fred said' to her: 'Let mo
oanry your coat.' Sho had a coat over
hor arm, and seemingly had a gun in
her hand. And sho said: 'All right,'
and, like a flash, shot him down, be
fore wo had) timo to even thipk."
