Iowa Ax Murders Recalled by Accused Pastor’s Damage Suit COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa Iowa's most’ famous murde the famous Villisea ax murder, is to be reopened. The Rey. Lynn J. G. Kelly, who was accused of having wielded the ax which wiped ov entire family of six and two visitors, has just served notice that he will file sult for $100,000 damages against At- torney General Hayner of lowa, | Prosecuting Attorney Wenstrand of Red Oak, Frank F. Jones, wealthy merchant of Villisea, and several others. Kelly, who is now working as a stenographer in Chicago in the office of a law firm, charges, in hia pre- liminary petition, that he was given the “third degree” during bis arrest and was forced to sign a confession of the murders which he afterward repudiated, | PUT TO TORTURES | TO FORCE CONFESSION He claims that while in jail await ing trial he was put to all sorts of torture in an effort to force him to confess, He charges that Attorney General Hayner and the other do +, fendants conspired «| crimes upon him and that, tn car- to fasten the rying out thp conspiragy, they dam- aged him both physically and in char acter, Kelly has twice been tried for be- ing the ax man. Tho first trial re sulted in a hung Jury. The attorney general in person had charge of the Prosecution, On the second trial Kelly was freed, The charge aguinat Kelly was narrowed to the murder of one of the victims only, but he can be tried for the murder of any of the other seven who were killed by the ax man if the authorities 80 de aire, Tho Villisca ax murders were the most vicious ever perpetrated in Towa and probably have never had an equal in this country. They came as the last crime in a series of mur: ders which aroused the West as no other crimes ever did. EXTERMINATES TWO FAMILIES WITH AN AX The murderer started his work in Colorado Springs, where he exter minated two families by splitting a § their heads with an ax. Next, at Pagla, Kan, @ similar crime was committed and a family wiped out Then at Elisworth, Kan. another family was exterminated. At Blue Island, IL, three in a family were | killed with an ax. Then, in 1912, came the Villisca murders in which J. C, Moore, his wife and four children and two visit ing little girls were killed. How the murderer managed to kill eight persons in 4 small house in the manner in which the Moores were murdered was one of the mysteries that has never been cleared up. A heavy ax was used by the murderer. After tho trial Kelly went on the lectire platform to tell of his fight, but tho tour failed. For a while, his friends say, he was a soap box evan- gelist in Loston, Mass. He is an Eng: lishman and his mother lives % a/ small town near London, * One's first crop of wil® oats may be a failure, but that Is not a good and sufficient reason for sowing an- other, |NAME “BAYER” ON GENUINE ASPIRIN “Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" to be genuine must be marked with the “Bayer © * just like your check must havo your signature, Always look for the “Bayer Croas.
