OMAHA. bUiUAi lUUKNING, UKCKMBER 24. 191G. MOTHER DEFENDS DOROTHY RADER Asserts Daughter Was Good Girl and That Was Why Fuller Pursued Her. BITTER TOWASD MURDERER "Effie Radcr was a good girt and a good woman. It was because she was good that she was murdered. She preferred death to a degraded life with Fuller, who was always a wicked man," said Mrs. J. M. Walker, Sidney, after she had viewed the body of her daughter, Mrs. John I. Carberry, alias Effie Rader, whom Floyd W. Fuller, a Lexington, Neb., butcher, shot to death on the niKht ot December 20. "Do you think he would have killed her," the mother asked between sobs, "if 'Dody would lower herself to comply with his vile suggestions? . Wouldn't Let Her Alone." "Dody never lived with Fuller in ftnvr Omaha T vintrfon nr an.. otner piace. My girl was married to and was never divorced from Tohnnie Carberry of Ely, Nev. Her husband is there now in the hospital and be cause he couldn't work mv daughter. with his permission, came to Omaha . to support herselt bv honest work. She worked ever since she came here last May. ha vine held jobs in a res tadrant as cashier and in one of the theaters as picket-seller. "But that beast wouldn't let her alone. He domed her footsteos. Why, he used to haunt our home at Kimball. He'd lurk around the house nieht after night. My husband drove him away several times. As for my Kirl preaking up Ins home, that s a black lie. He never met or knew of 'Dody until we came to Kimball and that was months after his wife had divorced him. Why. he even gave up . his business to pester my poor girl. He had wedding announcements printed about his marriage to Dody and sent them to his acquaintances at Lincoln. ' Threats of Fuller. 1 ''Fuller said he would spoil iy daughter's beauty if she wouldn't be his girl. He kept that promise by shooting four holes in her face." "Floyd Fuller, Who murdered my stepdaughter, is not only a murderer, but also the blackest of liars., When he says that 'Dody' Rader was not a good girl, he blackens the character of a good young woman as only a de spicable degenerate can blacken it." That wasvthe statement of J. W. Walker, the girl's stepfather. ' Mrs. Walker says her daughter is 25 years of age and not 29, as the papers said. Mr. and Mrs. Walker and her mother, Mrs. A. F. Perrier of Julesberg, Colo., will go with the body late. tonight to Denver, Colo.f'vrhtre the victim of the murder will be buried Sunday in the fanyly lot in rairmounr cemetery, jne.staw gin was the only child. Family Will Not Aid Him. , Campbell, in em, Dec. ii. ispecrai Telegram.) ,Mrs. AUie Fuller of this place is the divorced" vife of F. W. Fuller, who shot Miss Rader in Omaha. He has; six children by his first wife. His relations with 1 Mrs. Effie Dorothy Carberry of Kimball, where the - Fullers lived, caused a separation and finally forced Mrs. Fuller to get a divorce. It is said here Fuller married the Carberry woman in Denver, but divoiced her in a year, but on the witness stand at Lexington some time afterwards Fuller claimed that the Rader woman jobbed him into a false marriage while, drunk, and that he never mar ried her legally. . . . Fuller's life has been such as to estrange his entire family from him self and it is doiibtful if they will give any assistance to him and none will go to Omaha to see him.
