Book Description

Publication Date: 2003

This facsimile of the original manuscript investigates allegations against Iowa State Senator Frank Fernando Jones and the itinerant minister from England, Rev. Lyn George Jacklin Kelly in the 1912 Villisca, Iowa axe murder case. As historian Dr. Edgar V. Epperly says in his introduction, "These affidavits provide a comprehensive summary of what was known about the case in 1917. Since these statements were made under oath, it is also a measured summary with wild unsubstantiated rumors removed." These statements were given, corrected, and then signed by key witnesses prior to questioning by the 1917 Grand Jury. Their revealing testimony sheds new light on America's greatest unsolved mystery and Iowa's worst mass homicide. Illustrated with 17 historical photographs.
