| Man Who Killed Another Thirteen Years Ago Is Now On Trial |
| Springfield, Mo. Nov. 18 – William Allen, alleged to have murdered Sank Gibbs at Golden, Barry county, Missouri, thirteen years ago will be placed on trail at Cassville, Mo., next Monday. Is is charged that Allen and Gibbs quarreled over a card game and that the former slew his opponent. Allen’s escape was one of the most novel on record in this state. After the killing, a relative put him in a box and shipped it to Verona, Lawrence county, Missouri, where the same relative received the consignment, hauling the box away from the depot. Allen was then liberated and went west, where he remained until he was captured a few months ago. He will plead self-defense. |
