Missouri Murderer Hanged for Teen's Death in 1890s Case
Ernest Lecore was hanged at 10:30 am for the murder of 14 year old Ella Byron near Wesley after church. He confessed, claimed pardon, and faced execution after a jury found him guilty following investigations of a child’s disappearance and body found in a woods. A separate report notes Wilson Howard’s 1890s murder case and a long Missouri prosecution ending in death. The column also recounts a Union Station incident with a drunken man argued with a train crier and ejection by guards.
