Jas. D. Mathers returned last
evening from l'urcell. where he
went to represent his firm in the
examining trial of Pete Vermilion
for tho killing of Joo Neiucshek
near Turcell last Saturday. This
firm is retained to assist in the
prosecution.
Air. Mathers says that the kill
ing was wholly unprovoked and
was one of tho most brutal in Ter
ritory criminal annals.
It seems that l'eto Vermillion,
a young man about 21 years of
age, went to Lexington, Okla.,
Ia6t Saturday and got drunk.
While in this condition he mount
ed bis horse and started out to las-
BO every Inxly he met.
Finally he was run out of Lex
ington by the police and crossed
the river into l'urcell where he
resumed bis Fport, attempting to
Jisso several prominent citizens,
0 10 of-whom carries a big knot on
the head where the lasso struck
biro, '
lasso a little girl, but her life w as
saved by his inaccuracy.
South of l'urcell a mile and a
half he met Joe Nemeshek, C7
years of age, on whose farm near
Wayne the defendant has I teen
living. This time he cast his
noose with fatal results.
. The old gentleman was caught
around the nock and jerked from
the vehicle in which ho was riding,
the 6kull being crushed by the fall.
He was dragged alxmt eighty
yards by the drunken murderer,
pools of blood marking the trail.
; At the bridge across Walnut
creek Vermillion stopped and dis
mounted. He then dragged the
body under the bridge where he
cast it into the water and quick
sand feet first and when found it
was in an erect position with the
head dropping forward on the
chest.
Vermillion was met by parties
as he was leaving tho scene, hat
less and recoiling his bloody rope
and urging his horse at every
jnmp. His clothes was also bo
spattered with blood IIo was ar
rested that night in a corn field
near l'urcell and safely lodged in
jail, though there were sonic talk
of lynching.
The deceased was a highly re
spected and well-to-do farmer liv
ing near Wayne and no cause of
quarrel so far as known existed
between him and tho defendant
Tho examining trial will bo re
sumed at l'urcell tomorrow ami
may require several days as there
is a large number of witnesses.
