I last night.
'?There was no occasion for the Con- j
rad mines being shut down," said Col.
Conrad. "The winter supplies lor the
mines and the crews are all in camp,
ail the development work is on good
and rich ore and every month of work,
drifting on ore bodies at great depths,
adds millions to ihe value of the prop
erty by by what mining men call plac
ing the ore in sight.
"Since the first of November a new,
big and rich v#in was developed on the
Big Thing mine, going from $50 to

plenty of it."
Col. Conrad >ay?, further, that the

MAUD CRfflElD, WIDOW Of
"JOSHIA," DIES
Wile of Late Holy Roller Leader and Acconr
plish in Killing Notorious Moral Leper's
Slayer Succumbs to Heart Desease
Seattle, Nov. 17? Maud C'relield,
held in the county jail here with
Ksther Mitchell, for the murder of the
I atter's brother George Mitchell, died
of heart failure last night. This is the
third sudden death in tne now famous
Holy Roller drama, ff the supreme
court declares the decision of the com
mission. which found Esther Mitchell to
be insane, to be illegal, she will be
placed on trial for her life for murder
ing her brother and there might be
still another tragedy in the atTair.
Maud Crefield was apparently as well
as ever last night. She played cards
with other women in the county jail
and had not been ill for a long time.
She laughed and appeared to be in the
best of spirits. She went to bed at lft
o'clock with Esther Mitchell. About a
half hour afterwards she screamed and
swooned, soon afterwards she was dead.
The Holy Rollers are a religious sect
that was founded in Oregon. "Joshua''
Crelield, the leader, was killed by
George Mitchell last May because he
had seduced his sister. On a trial for
his life Mitchell was acquitted on the
ground of insanity. As he was leaving
for his Portland home he was met at
the train by his sister. Esther, who
shot him dead. Mrs Crefield gave
herself up ^as a partner in the plot.
Both were tried before an insanity com
mission and declared to be insane.
From this action tbe prosecuting attor
ney appealad to tbe supreme court.
The latter has not ] acted.
