THE LEABO TRAGEDY.
The Evidence at the Prelimiary
Trial Sufficient to Rind the
Prisoner Over.
MOIi VIOLENCE THREATENED.
The preliminary trial of Tohn T.
Leabo, charged with the murder of
bis wife the particulars of which
were fully set forth in the Times
last week, was held at Walnut last
Wednesday and Thursday.
There were no new developments
of particular importance other than
were contained in our last weeks
statement. The Justice before
whom the trial took place found suf
ficient evidence in the circum
stances and testimony taken to bind
Leabo over to await the action of
the Gr-nd Jury. Sheriff Hanks
conveyed the prisoner to the Neva
da jail for safe keeping.
There was considerable feeling
existing at Walnut and in the vicini
ty from the time Leabo was arrested
till his trial was over and he was re
moved from the county.
On the night prior to his trial a
strategic effort was made to get
Leabo out of the Butler jail for the
purpose of hanging him no doubt,
but the firmness ot Sheriff Hanks
and his advisers prevented such pro
ceedings. When the prisoner was
taken to Walnut the next day for
trial it was necessary for the
Sheriff to organize a strong posse
to protect him and prevent a mob
taking the law in their own hands.
Threats to hang him" were loud
and numerous but there was no or
ganized effort made. The people
are disposed to deal harshly with
murderers, now, since Bates county
courts and juries are inclined to deal
so lightly rn administering justice
upon such criminals.
The body ot Mrs. Leabo
was exhumed Friday by the
instructions of the Prosecuting At
torney, Mr. Francisco, and another
and more thorough examination
made of the bruises on the throat
There are some very sad features
to this very sad affair other than the
death of Mrs. Leabo and the
imprisonment ot her husband
charged with her murder. The
mother of the prisoner, an old lady,
overcome with the charge against
her son, became ill shortly after his
arrest, and died on Friday morning,
the same day he was sent to Neva
da. Mrs. Yoakum, the mother of
the murdered or suicided lady, as
the case may be. is lying quite sick
at her home in Kansas. The fright
ful shock ot her daughter's death was
very severe on her feeble condition,
and it was reported once that she,
too, was dead, but the Times is hap
py lo announce that the report was
untrue.
