MURDER OF GIRL

Authorities Confine Their Ef
forts to Running Down

With all but one clue having been
run down by the authorities in their
. eftorts to discover the identity of
v the mystery woman,' whose body
was found in a ravine 14 miles north
of Omaha November 20, detectives
v . working on the case yesterday de
' clared their single hope of solving
a.'-v the problem, which has attracted the
, attention of the entire middle west
T and baffled the police of a half dozen
:' cities for more than a week, lies in
- the probability that the dead woman
mav have been Miss Alice Massette,
" a waitress, who formerly worked in
Omaha and Des Moines restaurants,
. and whose parents are said to live in
" Colfax, la.
The body was identified at the
. Gentleman undertaking establish
ment several days ago by two
' women, who told the police they
; were sure the body was that of Miss
Massette, their former chum and
roommate.
V Miss Massette was seen a few
days before her disappearance in
Louie Ahko's chop suey restaurant,
Fifteenth and Harney streets, by
, Waiters who claim to have known
the girl, in the company of a former
employe of the restaurant.

' The woman s escort is said to
- have disappeared the day following
: the discovery of the body.
f The man is said to have been her
former common-law husband, and,
according to friends of the gir
avoided her company after marrying
' another woman. The jilted woman

This fact, together with the state
went of the coroner's, physician at
the inquest that there was chicken
and chop suey in the dead woman's

than an hour before she was killed,

Attention of Judge Redick Is Called '
By Editor of Bee, to Other Contemptuous
Newspaper Publications, As He Suggested
' At the opening of court yesterday
morning Victor Rosewater present
ed the following communication to
Judge W. A. Redick:
Omaha, Nov. 28, 1919 To Hon.
orable W. A. Redick, Judge of the
District Court of Douglas County:
On behalf of myself and The Bee
Publishing company, and also on
behartf of the public and all who
believe in "equality before the
law" and that justice should b
administered to all alike impar
tially and without favor, I respect
fully call your attention to four
newspaper publications, which, ac
cording to the recent ruling of
your honor are clearly "contempts
of court" and should be dealt with
as such. '
. The publications referred to are ,
as follows: A World-Herald pub
lication of November 7; a publi
cation in the Daily News of the
same date, and a publication by
f'ohn W. Towle, foreman of the
ate grand jury, November 17, in
both the Daily News and World
Herald. Publications Attached.
poise? Would this -be "equality
before the law"?
Your honor stated from the
bench in The Bee contempt case,
that this article had escaped your V
notice, and suggested that a proper
way to bring it before the court
would be by making a charge of .
.contempt and filing it with you.
Acting on your suggestion, I now
avail myself of-the right to do so.

laniily in Colfax have proven of no
avail. Messages sent by the Omaha
police to tnc departments in JLin

Chicago seeking . the ' apprehension
ot the fugitive waiter have remained
, unanswered, according to Detective
Chsct John T. Dunn.

At one time, it is said; she was em

friends in this city, she went to Des

her efforts to embarrass her for

when the girl returned to this city,
and he was seen several times re

are said to have quarreled a great
deal.
. v Advances New Theory. ,
r John A. Gentleman, at whose un
dertaking parlors, 3411 ' Farnam
street, the body has been lying for
the past week, advanced a new
theory yesterday morning for the
police to work on in the event "Miss
Masette's identity is not established.
Mr. Gentleman declared he recently
buried the child of a woman named
Mattie Gore, who had been living in
Council ' Bluffs, and who also for
merly lived in Colfax, la. f He de
clared the father of the baby lived
in Council Bluffs also and had re
fused to marry the girl he wronged.

repeated efforts to prevail on the
man to marry her, and when the
child died she appealed to him1 to
assume the responsibility fort its
For the information otthe court,
I attach said publications, marked
respectively. Exhibits 1, 2, 3 and 4.
As will be observed, the World
Herald publication of November
7, which was two days before the
alleged contemptuous publication
in The Bee, makes direct refer
ence to the then pending case of
the State against J. Harry Moore,
who it charges had been active
in The Bee campaign against
the city administration and had
beenx indicted on the charge of
conspiracy to commit arson. It
proceeds to state what was set
forth in he indictment and also
the evidence which it claimed
was given before the grand jury
upon which the indictment was
based. as follows:
"Evidence on which the indict
ment is based recited that Moore,
in company with others, went
from the court house to a gar
age at Seventeenth and Daven
port streets and filled two big
cans with gasoline, Moore hold
ing the nozzle of the filling
tank. It was alleged further that
Moore assisted in carrying the
cans full of gasoline back to the
court house."
The article -then proceeded to
state, that Thorpe and Morris,
who were serving 90-day sen
tences in the county jail, when
confronted by Moore in the grand
jury room, identified him', and. de
clared they could not be mis
taken in 'their identification.
Quotes Statement
Then follows this most prej
udicial statement:
. "Moore was the author of many
of a series of sensational ar
ticles attacking the city adminis
tration and particularly Police
Commissioner Ringer, which
have appeared in The Bee from
time to time. Numerous 'spreads'
withdevious and dark imaginings,
with- crude plots and vicious
"charges veiled in them, have been
credited to him."
It will further be observed that'
these publications in the World
Herald. and Daily News not only
were two days in advance of The
Bee ouhlication.- hut were a direct
attack on The Bee as well as its
reporter, which prompted and jus
tified the publication of The Bee
article. r. Is it possible that The
Bee and its reporter charged with
crime must remain silent for
weeks, months and perhaps for
years while unbridled license is
allowed to other newspapers to
publish anything and everything
prejudicial to The Bee and its ac
cused reporter?
I submit to the court whether
:t is any less an offense or less an
interference, with the .proceedings
in a pending cause for a news
paper to publish Statements im
periling the liberty of a person '
accused of crime than it would be
to make publication of a "frame
up" by the police department of
the city of Omaha.
Is it an offense to make publica
tion of the truth in behalf of an
accused person and not an offense
to destroy and take awav in ad
vance the. defense of the accused
,8hd regardless of the truth create -
a prejudice against him which
would bring about his conviction
without regard to his guilt or in
nocence? Would this be holding
the scales of iustice at an ?vpn
EXHIBIT 2.
Exhibit 2 is the article publish
ed November 7, by the Daily
News, similar to the one publish
ed in the World-Herald of the
same date. What has been said
.with reference to the World
Herald also applies to the article
of the Daily News.
EXHIBITS 3 AND 4.
. Of all the palpable efforts to se
cure by improper influence the
conviction of an accused man,
who at least should be presumed
innocent until proven guilty, the
doings and publication of John
W. Towle, foreman of the late
grand jury, are the most inex
cusable and extreme.
In the first place, by his own
.admission, j he goes to the. home
of Mrs. Warner and Mrs. Chase,
the mother and grandmother of
the boy Harold Thorp, with the
manifest and deliberate purpose of
influencing them to induce the
boy to stand by the testimony
given before the grand jury.
In hisxattempted explanation as
published , in the World-Herald
and Daily News of November 17,
he declares that his action in that
behalf was two days before the
article in The Bee was published,
which he refers to as showing the
falseness 6i the statement that he
had attempted to indirectly influ
ence the boys through the mother
of one of them to, stick, to the
"original story." '
.He fails to state, however, that
his attempt to influence the boys
to stick to their original story,
as against , tjieir subsequent affi
davit, was before they were
v called before the grand jury to
testify which of 'the wo state
ments were true.
Peculiar Coincidences.
To say the least, it is a peculiar
coincidence that the foreman of
the grand jury should appear at
the home of the mother of the
iboy, Thorp, at this particular
time. And it is remarkable that
, at this particular time he turned
over to the old grandmother the
sum of $80 merely as an act of
charity. Then, after doing this,
as shown by his statement, he ,.
reports the whole incident fb
. your Honor, which I respectfully
submit was an unjustifiable at
tempt to influence your Honor and
create in your Honor's mind a
prejudice against The Bee, its
editor and reporters, which in a
measure fie succeeded in doing, as
shown by the statement of your
Honor on the bench during the
trial of the contempt case against
The Bee, that you were im
pressed by what had occurred thsft
the article in The Bee was a coh-- '
tempt of court at the time you
ordered the county attorney to file
the information for contempt
I respectfully submit that this
action on the part of John W.
Towle was' contempt of court that
should not be unnoticed.
I further submit to your Honor
that the published "statements of
Jofin W. Towle in the World
Herald and Daily News had dirert
reference to the case of the State
against J. Harry Moore, then
pending in court, and was of a
character naturally to create a
strong public prejudice against
the defendant, Moore, and pre
vent him from securing a fair and
impartial trial.
In demonstration of the cor
rectness of this contention that
this action by John W. Towle
was an attempt to thwart, hinder
ftnd obstruct justice and the pro
ceedings of the court in the case
of the State against Moore, per
mit me to call the attention of
your Honor specifically to some
of these statements.
Mr. Towle stated, among other
things, in both of his publications
in the World-Herald and Daily
News, that the story of his visit
to the home of the mother of
Harold Thorp , was
"merely another attempt to cloud
the issue as to the guilt of Mr.
Moore, The Bee reporter."
Is it not, under your ' ruling,
'contempt of court to assume and
publish, to the world the charge of
guflt of a defendant in a pending
criminal action? , . .
Accused Reporter.
Then Mr. Towle, to give em
phasis to the alleged guilt of Mr.
Moore, making reference to those
charging him with wrongful at
tempting to influence the boys
Thorp and Morris, stated as fol
lows: "They induced the Thorp and
.Morris boys to repudiate their
original statement as to the guilt
and identity qf Mr.' Moore and to
accuse Cap:;! i Haze of having
framed with them to testify false
ly before tin? grand jury."
It was further stated by Mr.
Towle, as shown by his state
ments furnished by him to the
World-Herald and Daily News,
as follows:
"It was very apparent after
hearing the conversation of the
grandmother, Mrs. Chase, that a
deliberate attempt was being made
to have these boys pardoned and;
immediately enlisted in the navy, ,
thus removing from the jurisdic
tion of the court the state's wit
nesses against Moore."
Is it possible that this state- '
ment, jvhich has a natural tend
ency to create a strong public
sentiment against Mr. Moore and
his defense, is not contempt of
court and a . wilful attempt to
thwart justice and obstruct Nthe
proceedings in the criminal case
against Moore which ' was then
pending?
Not only is the defendant,
Moore, branded as guilty by Mr.
Towle, foreman of the late grand
jury, but it is charged that a de
liberate attempt was being made
to have these boys pardoned and
immediately enlisted in the navy
so they could not testify against
him.
' Can any fair-minded person
doubt or question that this un
founded charge against Mr.
, Moore, if believed, would result
in his certain convictiofo?
The Towle Articles.
Mr. Towle in his articles for his
own vindication and to pose be-,
fore the public as a most just and
generous man, says he "regrets
that his wife has been brought
into this affair." No one regrets
more than I do that Mrs. Towle,
whom I believe to be worthy and
a most kindly disposed woman, c.
that her . beautiful daughter
should be brought into this affair,
but who brought them in? I did
not. Mr. Moore did not By John
W. Towle's statements, he was
the one that brought them into
this case; he drove his wife at the
; suggestion of his daughter over
to the home of the mother of Har
old Thorp; she went up a dark
stairway and disappeared; he
then became uneasy about her and
followed and became interested
in what he directly characterizes
as an attempt to thwart justice.
I submit to your honor that Mr.
Towle should be answerable for
his own doings and sayings, and
should not be permitted to cover
himself behind some one. else.
I do not wish to make any
charge against Mrs: Towle, not
withstanding her, participation in
this matter as shown by her pub
lished statement in the Daily
r .........
iews, as i attrioute ootn her
ticipation and published statement
as inspired by her husband.
Neither do I wish to make any
charge against Senator Hitch
. cock, editor-in-chief of the World
Herald, notwithstanding the fact
- that I have been fined $1,000 as
editor-in-chief of The Omaha Bee
for the publication of an article
that was admitted by your honor
Lnever wrote or had any knowl
edge of its publication until after
it was printed, for I knowSenator
Hitchcock -was in Washington at
the time of the World-Herald
publications, and I do not believe
in what your honor on the bench
termed 'vicarious punishment."
Insists on Action.
I do submit and insist, however,
that your honor should take such
action, both in regard to the do
ings and publications of John W.
Towle and also the World-Herald
and Daily News in making 'such
publications, as will protect a de
fendant charged with a criminal '
offense. Respectfully submitted,
