flitln.n tit the pupper 'able reuding h
newspnper.
The ineinbrrH of h'B family were
nil present In the room at the time
of the murder, and all heard the
fhot and saw the murdered man's
head slowly sink on tils breast and
blood st ream from his nose and ears.
Han Jordan, Lay ton's father-in-law,
according to the evidence submitted,
quickly leaped up and blew out the
li!ht which was sitting on the table,
and the women, Including Eayton's
wife, Mrs. Dun Jordan, and Miss Es
ther Cutlett, who had been working
In the Layton home, werp. taken Into
another room, after whli Jordan
summoned a neighbor and reported
the affair to him. The neighbor, J.
C. Moore, had heard the shot and
shortly afterward a woman's scream.
Mrs. Moore stepped out of the house
for a moment, but hearing nothing
more returned to the house, and In
about fifteen minutes Jordan appear
ed and told the story.
The chief of police, a doctor, cor
oner, and others were called upon
the scene, and It was but a short
time until a large crowd had collect
ed. M. J. Huffman, acting county
attorney In the absence of Attorney
White, was one of the first to arrive.
According to Mrs. Layton and Mr.
Jordan, her father, the Itusslan
farmers In the neighborhood had
pi-oven troublesome to Layton, and
on several occasions he had express
ed himself as wishing lie was out of
the country, as be feared they would
kill him. As a sign of nervousness,
they stated that he had fed tho hogs
three times Friday forenoon, and
had also cleaned the bam twice In
that time.
It seems that suspicion, In that un-
explalnable manner that usually oc
curs when there la a crime, fastened
Itself upon Jordan. He stated that
followed the same course. As the
door was opened, the dogs went
straight to Jordan, and would mv
done him bodily Injury had t:ie n,.
been held In leash by their owner.
As Jordan saw the dogs coming, h

with his family, was driving in his
automobile to the home of a friend
near ScotlHhluff, while they were
near the Layton home, and asked I?

Mr. Johnson replied that layton had
been murdered. The identity of th.
men has not been ascertained, but It

itions In the room when the fatal
shot was 11 red. M Irs Cntlett sworei
positively that Jordan was In the
room when Layton was murdered,,
and thnt he did not leave the hous
until about fifteen minutes after
ward. Mrs. Layton became hysteric
al when she wuh questioned and call
ed for her hand bag, from which she
produced a bottle of whiskey, which.
It would seem, Is her ever ready help--In
time of trouble. She has one
child, which some of the witnesseg.
claimed was by her first hunbnnd.
while others claimed she had never -before
been married. Jordan told oni
the stand that she had never been:
married, and when questioned re
garding the child he replied, "Well,
don't some women have kids without,
being married?"
As an evidence that there was no
great amount of congeniality exist
ing between Layton and his wife's"
parents, was shown In the testlmnoy
of Mr. Moore, who stated that Lay
ton told him on the morning before
the murder, "Did you ever see any
one that would stick around and
would do no more than these peo
ple here? Mrs. Jordan lo sick, but
as soon as she gets better they are
golng to have to move."
According to the physician, every
bone In Layton'a skull was broker
from the force of the blow, the bul
let passing entirely through both
portions of the brain, death resulting
instantly.
As soon as the bloodhounds were
sent for, guards were placed around
the Layton home, and a large pleco
of canvas was placed over the ground
near the window through which tho
assassin shot, so that the hounds
would have a clear scent.
What deepens the mystery Is that

a few missing, was found In a trunk
