WIFE'S CASE 10 GRAND JURY
Witnesses Are Subpoenaed to Ap
pear Before Inquisitorial Body
to
Testify as to 'Murder-
Woman Denies Identity.
N
ST, LOUIS, Dec. g. Dr. Loren B. Doxcy
of Columbus, Neb., arrested yesterday
after a coroner's Jury had declared him
possessed of "guilty .knowledge" of the
cilme with which his vilt was charged,
was released at the direction of Circuit
Attorney S. G. Jones today.
The action was not unexpected as Mr.
Jones had previously declared that there
was little or no evidence to substantiate
the charge against Dr Doxey. .
Mrs. Doxey't case will be considered by
the grand Jury later in .the day. .
The. -doctor for Jhe . second. time,., .Blnce
his arrival, in St. Louis answered ques
tions today. He declared that he had no
connection with ErdWs death. '
He added that he could explain away the
statements that he had received a draft
for 2,;00, the amount of life Insurance
money which his wife Is accused of having
collected as Erder'a widow and that he
had purchased arsenical compound in
Columbus and sent them to Mrs. Doxey
Jn Hi. Louis.
"I could explain those statements easily,
but my lawyer won't lot me," said Dr.
Doxey. "I have explained them to him
and I repeat now merely" that . I am In
nocent."
Questioned further. Dr. Doxey said:
"I did not know Erder except through
my wife. Before wo were married she
told me of having met Erder while she
I was visiting friends In St. Louis."
"Did you know that she married Erder
Here?" he was asked.
"Most emphatically I did not. Bu(.that
.s one point 'on which my attorney has
told me not to talk."
He added:
. "Mrs. Doxey did live for a time at the
home of William J. Erder. She was visit
ing Mr. Erder and his wife. But I can t
talk further. My attorney has sealed my
"PS." (
Fourteen witnesses Identified Mrs. Dixiy
aa the woman who lived with William J.
Erder, the man she Is accused of poisoning,
as his wife, Dr. W H. Warren's report
showing arsenic had been found in the
body of Erder was submitted.
Text of Verdlot.
The Jury returned the verdict as fol
lows: "The Jury finds that William J. Erder
came to his death on July' 10 jy arseniu
poisoning, administered by his wife, Dtra
E. Erder, alias Dora E. Doxey, alias Dora
E. Fuller, and that Lorcn B. Doxry had
guilty knowledge of the fact. Verdict,
homicide." -
Mrs Doxey did not attend the Inquest,
but the witnesses were taken to the Ja 1.
Her sole reply to her Identification was:
"They are most certainly mistaken."
Dr. Doxey did not testify. The coroner
asked him two questions, to which he re
fused to reply. He was not sworn as a
witness. Mrs. , ICathetlne Erder, mother
of the man Mrs. Doxey is accused of kill
ing, testified her son became 111 af .er

"Dutch" Brers' Gridiron Boys Give

Over on the Illinois side of the Corn

"Oskey-wow-wow" by a small group of
students from the state university. It was
the real warwhoop of the Illlnl tribe of
Indians and was given for a reason.
"Dutch" Byers Is in town. "Dutch" Byers
was for three years the star catcher of
tho varsity nine and three times helped his
men land the Big Nine pennant. All men
who attend Illinois hear of "Dutch" Byers.
He not only won his "I"- on the diamond,
but was also In the fore on the gridiron.
Ho was not only a game athlete, but he
left the state university In June, 1907, with
a diploma under his arm.
Then Byers came Omaha way. He is
now employed as a chemist for one of the
big South Omaha packing firms.

LACK OF CATTLE PROBLEM
Coralna- Meeting; of Live Stock I n
teresta In Denver Will Devote
Time to Question.
DENVER, Colo., Dec. 8. (Special.) Con
siderable Interest has recently developed
In the live stock Industry In the west
and the National Stock show and th
meetings of the American National Live
Stock association and National Bc-of
Producers' association In Denver during
the week of January 8-15, is attracting
considerable interest all over the country,
aa it will be ths first opportunity the
stock Interests have had to get together
and compare notes since the present
situation developed.
It is claimed that there Is a distinct
scarcity of cattle in the country, and that
prices are certain to be high for some
years to come. Conditions are such that
any Increase in tha supply must be de
veloped in the west, as that section has
the only cheap pasture lands left.
In the corn states of the middle west it
is asserted high prices for'Wheat andV corn
have enoouraged the breaking up of
pasture lands and planting grain crops.
This has very greatly diminished the
production of cattle in that section. In
the west there has been a tremendous In
flux of settlers who have practically driven
the range cattlemen out of business, and
the new settlers have as yet failed to taki
up the cattle production business to any
extent. Tha situation la to bo discussed
very carefully at the Denver meetings and
It is expected that plans will be made for
Increasing the production,' both by educa
tional work among the new farmers In the
west and by arranging soma method for
financing those farmers who are unablo,
because of a lack of money, to engage in
thr business.
