Paroled at 70 in murder case involving daughter
Mary Ann Anderson, age 70, inmate of the Woman's Prison, widow of James Anderson, was ordered by Governor Durbin to be released to Greene County. The parole is during good behavior. She had been convicted of aiding her son-in-law William Waggoner in killing her daughter Clara Anderson. The case dates back to a death in a cistern and a confession by Waggoner implicating Anderson and her husband. The attorney argues her innocence and cites irregular trials and a quick acquittal for the brother-in-law.

He and followers seized lakefront land, asserting riparian rights and forming a self styled government before Gatling guns subdued them. Niles appeals to President McKinley for a U. S. Court to restore order and protect his citizens from foreign cops.
