Remorse, for four days following the visit to Mrs. Purdy to the Wells County jail, which caused him to pray day and night,' and also Jealousy of his wife, “My Cora,” whom he idolizes, and whom he feared might “run around” with other men, has doubt- ' less caused John Lee, charged with the. murder of Samuel Purdy, to confess that he shot him at the request of his wife, who was later arrested on the charge of murder in the first degree, is the.substance of the story of the Bluffton News. When he heard “My Cora' was going to Montpelier to get a house, Lee is l said to have declared that she ought not to go there, and then asked whether his (Wife had been running around with i other men. The officials did not answer and then Lee expressed the | wish that they would arrest Cora and I bring her to jail. The officers then told him if she had anything to do with the murder of Purdy he should i tell it and she would be arrested. He ,is said to have studied a while and I declared, "Well, If she hadn’t told me to, I wouldn't have done It.” Prosecutor Decker then wrote down two pages of Lee’s statements, re-read them to him twice and, got him to sign the “confession," and make oath it was true. Lee declared, It is said, that Cora was tired of him and only wanted to get rid of him so she could get another man. In substance Lee said, says the Bluffton News. He declared that his wife told him to get his gun and kill some one and that they j could not do anything with him. “She told me," he related, “io get some new cartridges and get my gun ready. She told me to kill Emmet Scheff, Sam Purdy, or anyone. I went to the hardware store and bought a nickel's 'worth of new cartridges. I had some .old ones, but I wanted to make sure. ; I took the revolver home and loaded j it with the new cartridges and laid it ! on the sideboard. We saw the Purdy girl go to the Pyle grocery to buy ' some tobacco, and go back home. My ( wife told me to go out there and get ready, and hide at the barn and when Purdy passed down the alley to shoot him.”
