UNNATURAL
Is the Action of Mrs John Jack of
• Kilgore, Pa.
SHE SEEKS TO SHIELD
Her in Human Brother-in-law
even after he was Arrested
forthe Outrage. Osborn
Breaks down and
Confesses
Sharon, Pa., Nov, 19. —The mys
tery surrounding the recent assault
on Mrs. Jehn Jack, of Kilgore, has
been partly solved by the coiefes
eion of Emerson Osborne, a prom
inent member of Sauday Lake
United Presbyterian church.
Mrs Jack, about, three wieks ago
disapeared from her home and was
found three days later in a hollow
log half dead. She said she had at
tempted to take her own life by
beating her head with a stone.
This did not satisfy the authori
ties and they arrested Osborne.
Yesterday he broke down and i on
fessed all, paying that he made the
assault and thinking Mrs. Jack
was dead had placed her in the
log to cover up his crime.
Osborne is a brother-in-law of
Mrs. Jaok, and it is alleged she is
making every effort to shield him
H-r object in so doing cannot be
flurmis -d, unless J t be a desire to
save the family from disgrace
through further investigation and
publication of the outrage. Mrs.
Jack is the daughter of ex Sheriff
Fleming Smith, and all parties
are prominently conneoted.
