I WILL WORK FOR M’COY’S RELEASE

That Was" Statement of Mrs. John Byerley as She Boarded Train For Scene of Frankfort Murder.

Urban a, 111., Dec. 6.—“1 am going back to Frankfort to 'help clear the man, who killed my husband.” This was the statement of the wronged wife of John Byreley, who was assassinated by William McCos at Frankfort, Ind., last week, because of his alliance with Mrs. McCoy, who shared his fate at the hands of her enraged husband. The woman who has avowed her intention of lending every assistance in her power to McCoy was known here as Beulah Miller, her maiden name, and when she boarded the train for the Indiana city she was accompanied by a man who has become interested i'n her case since she left her husband a month and a half ago because of his infatuation for the McCoy woman. “When I discovered my husband’s relations with that woman I begged of him to let her alone I knew McCoy was very jealous of his wife and I felt that something terrible would happen. When the situation heeaihe unbearable I left my home iand the . news of the double killing was not a surprise to me. Two have been despoiled by that mad infatuation and now I am going back and help free the man who avenged his own wrong and my honor.”
