MR. AND MRS. CHARLES CLAY-
HAD GUILTY KNOWLEDGE OJF
THE CRIME.
Mrs. Clayton Arrested Friday After
noon nnd Will Be Held for Trial.
Both Will Stand Trial.
After debating thei.rdhttei' for over
an hour tho Jury empaneled for the-in-miRRt
over tlin remains' of Vernon
Connott brought Tn a " verdict 'accus
ing Roy Roberts with tho Crlnttfidf
killing Connett and accusing Mr. nnd
Mrs. Clayton of having a guilty know
ledge of the crime.
Following the verdict returned by
tho Jury Mrs. Clayton was arrested
and sho will be hold at tho county
Jail to await trial at tho same time as
her husband. Thoy will be given pre
liminary hearing before Judge French
as soon as possiblo and the case will
como up for trial at tho next term of
district court which convenes January
25th. Mr- and Mrs. Clayton have se
cred Mayor E. H. Evans for legal ad
vlco. Tho Jury decided to a man that tho
body now held at the morgue Is that
of Vernon Connett who was presum
ably murdered on August 2nd laBt.
Several witnesses wore examined at
the hearing and their, testimony cstub
that fact beyond a doubt. Tho wit
nesses who were exomlned wero A. E.
Tlmmormnn, I. E. Trout, H. G,. and
I. E. Connott, Johnny Jones and Mary
Roberts. Tho testimony of Mary
Roberts whs thrown out vm account
of her being of such tender years. She
will not bo seven years old until next
May.
.Mr. and Mrs Charles Clayton woro
called at tho Inquest to glvo testi
mony but upon ndvlco from tliolr at
torney thqy refused to bo sworn anil
declined to glvo any testimony what
ever. Tho testimony thoy hnvo pre
viously given was threshed over bc
foro tho Jury and, while it has been
accounted untruo, it helped in estab
lishing the fact that Vernon Connett
was dead
Identification of tho body was nmdo
by tho two brothers of tho murderod
man and Messrs, Trout and Tlmmor
mnn. Tho latter two men testified
to tho finding of tho body and stated
that It was found as near as could
bo ascertained on tho oxnet spot des
cribed by Roy Roborts at tho peniten
tiary who gavo sworn evidence that
ho had burled tho body of Vornon
Connott. While this evldonco would
establish tho Idontlty ot tho body It
was further Identllcd by tho brothers
ot tho murdered man,.
Both II. G. Connott and I. E.
Connott wero put on tho stand to glvo
testimony. Thoy ldontflod tho body by
tho teeth, tho clothing nnd on tho ovl
denco thoy henrd. Tho teeth In tho
lower Jaw grow peculiarly and six of
them woro tilled. Thcso wero easily
Identified. Tho two brothers also had
Information from Mrs. Connott, wld
aw of tho murdored man. tolling them
ot tho fillings In tho teeth and of tho
clothes that ho woro. Ono shoe? wan
nit o left tor Identification.
John Jones gavo tho most start
ling testimony. Ho Btlll sticks to hU
former story that Connett and Roberts
drove oft In tho wagon.
this would appear that Clayton was
not guilty of tho crime, as was testi
fied by Roberts. Jones Is consldercl
an incompetent, but his testimony
nyas held, to be. legal, at the lnquestt
