(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
Seattle, July 14? A formal charge 8f
murder in the first degrees was laid by
the prosecuting attorney today against
Ksther Mitchell and Maud Creftield,the
latter the wife of the dead founder of
t^e "holy roller" sect.
By her uwn confession the latter was
an equal party, under the law to the
murder of George Mitchell. She fully
assented to the truth of the story of
conspiracy as told by Esther Mitchell..
in which both women were prepared to
do the murder, either to do it as op
portunity offered.
Both women maintain their compos
ure in the jail. They have added
nothing to the ptory as given out yester
day, declaring they told the whole truth
and have nothing further to say. They
are quiet prisoners and make no com
plaint and abide by the rules of the
prison. They are confined in sepeiate
cells and are not permitted to com
municate with each other.

uting attorney at Seattle declaring the

with a statement to the effect that
Esther Mitchell is sane and should be
punished for her crime. Mr. Manning
has had much to do with the holy roll
ers and knows the individuals of the
sect.

Thaw Is Now Financially Broke
Mother must now come to his relief with money
before strength of the defense is put forth? Mother
was on ocean when tragedy occurred!
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.]
New York, July 14,? The counsel for
the defense in the case of Harry Thaw |
have announced that they will niaks no
move until the mother of the prisoner
is heard from. Mrs. Thaw was on the
Dcean on her way to Europe, at the
time of the trasredy, and remained for
some days unaware of the predicament
of bet son. Relatives of Mrs. Thaw,
I
the mother, fearful of the effect, that;
i
might attend her coming on the newsj
for tlit first time in the newspapers of
London, put forth extraordinary en
deavors to communicate with hfr on |
board :hevessel by means of the wireless i
The ship had passed beyond the zone of j
communication from the American side '
but cables were sent to be put aboard
of vessels leaving the other side to be
transmitted by wireless to the ship
when they should come within commu
nicating distance. Messages were also
sent to be transmitted from the other
shore at the Lizard. By this means
Mrs. Thaw was apprised of the tragedy
that has come into her life while still
aboard the ship. She was completely
_ . I
prostrated for a time. She will return
at once to New York, and until she re
turns the defence will make no decided
move. The prisoner is without means.
His income of $70,000 a year was cut
down, when in spite of his mother's
protest he married Miss Nesbitt, to $7,
000, and this sum has not been sufficient
for his personal expenses, so that he is
badly involved at present financially
