AS SUSPECT

IN AX CRIMES

Loving Mitchell Arrested

by the Police of

St. Louis.

FLASHLIGHT AS CLEW

Prisoner to Face Charge of Kill

ing Man, Wife and Daugh

ter in Monmouth.

Monmouth, III., March 22. Lov

ing Mitchell, the negro arrested at

St. Louia on a charge of having

murdered the Dawson family here

with an ax, was not brought hero,

but was left in the Galeaburg jail

this morning by Chief of Police

Morrison of this city. Mitchell

denies the murder. Morrison re

fuses to talk.

Mrs. John Knight, a negress,

residing here. Is locked up in con

nection with the case.

St. Ixu!s. Mo., March Has the

mystery' of SO ax murders been cleared

in the arrest here of Loving Mitchell,

a negro?

This is the question which officers

will work upon in an effort to reach a

solution of the ax murders wave which

extends back to 1011 and Involves the

states of Illinois. Iowa, Missouri, Kan

sas a,nd Colorado.

All of the ax murders have been

Identical in nearly every detail. In

nearly every instance the murderer

killed an entire family while the vic

tims lay asleep.

Charged With Monmouth Murders.

Mitchell was arrested here ' and

charged with the murder of William

F. Dawson, Mrs. Dawson and their 13-year-old

daughter, Georgia, at Mon

mouth. III., on Sept. 30, 1911.

At the time the crime at Monmouth

was connected with a similar one at

Colorado Springs. In the house at

Monmouth the police found an electric

flashlight on which were scratched the

j words, "Colorado Springs and iovey. '

Mitchell denied all know ledge of the

crime during a vigorous questioning,

but told several conflicting stories

concerning his whereabouts on the

night oi the murder and the reason for

his sudden departure from Monmouth,

according to the police.

The police gave the negro into the

custody of Chief of Police Morrison

and Mayor Brown of Monmouth when

he waived extradition, and l.e was re

turned to Monmouth last night.

Chief Tells of Crime.

Before leaving here Chief Morrison

made the following statement:

"Dawson, his wife, and daughter

were murdered by three 'negroes, two

men and a woman. Revenge for atten

tions which the negroes believed Daw

son had shown their relatives was the

motive for the crime."

Chief Morrison declared further

that he had obtained affidavits of con

versations between Mitchell and per

sons in St. Louis which would b

used against the neero. The evidence

! against the thrPe, the chief declared

is complete.

Tiie bloody print of one of the mur

derer's hands, Morrison declared, was

left on the door of a closet. Into which

he had tri"i to shove the body of the

Dawson girl.

The Monmouth police chief discour

aged the belief that the three negroe

had any hand in any of the other an

murders.
