m insane
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Seattle, Sep. 21? Esther Mitchell and
Maud Creffield, held for the murder of
the former's brother, were found to be
insane by the commission, which has j
been investigating their condition, anil |
they will be deported to Oregon, unless j
there be a rerersal of the commission's j
decision. Prosecuting Attorney Mack- j
intosh has appealed from the decision. I
Maud Creffield is the wife of "Joshua"
Creffield, the "holy roller" apostle,
whose criminal practices in Oregon re
sulted in several women and girls being
sent to insane asylums and the reform
schools, and who was killed by George
Mitchell Id Seattle last summer.
Ksther Mitchell was one of the follow
ers of Creffield. She served a term in
a public institution for treatment for
insanity and was supposed to have been
saved from the Creffield influence, but
when tne "holy roller Joshua'' was dis
charged from the penitentiary his in
fluence was renewed.
Although he (was a married man,
Creffield had picked her out to be the
mother of a messiah of whom he was to
be the father. To save his sister,
George Mitchell killed Creffield, and
was triumphantly acquitted. At the
suggestion of Maud Creffield, Esther
Mitchell killed her brother in revenge
for what he had done.
