VAUGHN CASE NEXT INTEREST NOW SHIFTS FROM THE HYDE CASE TO SIMILAR ONE AT KIRKSVILLE.

Widow of Prof. Vaughn IN Charged aN an Accomplice With the Family Physician la the Death of Her Husband. Now that the Hyde case has been settled for a time interest has turned to a similar case in some respects at Kirksville, where Mra. Alma Proctor Vaughn, and her family physician, Dr. James R.

Hull, of Monroe City, are charged with the death of Prof. John T. Vaughn. Prof. Vaughn, who was instructor in American History at the state norschool, died of last year at his Kirksville home under in perfect health and had attended peculiar circumstances.

He had been church in the evening. At 10 o'clock Prof. Vaughn left the church after he had informed one of his friends that he had some work to do at home and could not stay in church any longer. an hour later a message was at the church that Prof. Vaughwas in convulsions and 16 minutes later news was received that he was dead.

Although the circumstances surrounding, the sudden death of the professor Were peculiar, only EL few persons considered the case suspicious and these were inelined to believe that Prof, Vaughn had accidently taken poison. The body of Prof. Vaughn was burried at Monroe City, the home of his widow, who did not display much grief over her bereavement. Ten days after the death of Prof. Vaughn, Mrs.

John R. Kirk, wife of the president of the state normal, whose guest Mrs. Vaughn was after the funeral of her husband, heard her guest play Mendelssohn's wedding march on the piano in her parlor. She was greatly shocked and considered Mrs. Vaughn's actions suspicious enough to speak to her husband about it.

President Kirk communicated Prof, Vaughn's brothers and they began a quiet investigation. After they had gathered some material they placed the matter before the coroner, who took official matter and ordered an investigatien. In spite of the protests of Mrs. Vaughn and her attorneys, the body of Prof. Vaughn was exhumed and the viscera was turned over to Dr.

Paul Schweitzer of the Missouri state university for analysis. When Dr. Schweitzer reported that he had found 49-55 or nearly a whole grain of strychnine in the stomach and liver of Dr. Vaughn, the 'coroner's jury gave a verdict in conformity with the findings and the grand jury indicted Mra. Vaughn and Dr.

J. R. Hull of Monroe City, for the murder of Prof. Vaughn. Both were arrested and placed under heavy bond for their appearance for trial which was set for May 16.

Mrs. Vaughn, who is 35 years old and quite attractive and vivacious, is the daughter of M.

They were married shortly after she completed her course, although her relatives opposed the marriage to a man fifteen years her senior. They seemed to live happily and had one child, a little girl, now almost 7 years old, It 19 the general belief that, It Mre. Vaughn had in some way caused the death of her husband, her motive was not to obtain possession of his estate, which is sald to be considerable. It is expected that the trial will throw some startling light upon the relations which are supposed to have existed between Mrs. Vaughn and Dr.

Hull for several years the family physician of the Vaughns. Dr. Hull is 50 years old and has a wife and married laughters. It 1 is understood that the state will try to prove that Dr. Hull met Mrs.
