Axe murder campaign mail shocks Villisca
In Villisca a wave of dirty campaign mailings linked to the Moore family axe murder stirred the district four years after the crime. Letters from Kansas City bore a postmark and urged voters to defeat Senator B. F. Jones, accusing him of involvement. Jones denounced the letters and pledged action if responsible parties came forward, while W. C. Ratcliff of Red Oak joined with local residents to pursue justice through federal authorities.
