Twin Sister Mistaken For v Woman Murdered 30 Years Ago.. Kokomo, Ind., Feb. 23.—A story from Logansport that Luella Mair bitt, for the murder of whom Airier Green was lynthed near Flora about thirty years ago, had been seen a few days ago by Herikiah Shank, a man who had known her in her youth, was exploded here today when Mrs. EUi Stone said that she was the woman who had spoken to Shank. Mrs. Stone was a twin sister of Luella Mabbitt. The similarity of their first names confused Shank and caused him to believe he was talking to Luella Maobitt. “For all I know, however,” said Mrs. Stone, “my sister may not have been murdered and may be living today. One night the home folks were awakened by the quarreling voices of Amer Green and my sister downstairs. Green was demanding the return of some presents which he had given and Luella was remonstrating. She had been called out of bed and was attired only in a pair of house slippers and a kimona. Suddenly the voices were quieted and we went back to sleep. The next morning Luella was missing and no trace of her was ever found except the torn kimona. A body found two weeks , later in a creek was not identified.” A mob took Green from the Cass county jail and hanged him to a tree.
