CRIPPLE TO DEATH
EVERETT, Aug. 13.—Believing
Bob Silester was possessed of a.i evil
spirit, George Johns, James Jefier
Bon, Lena Jefferson and Rosey Wild
er beat Silester to death with clubs
yesterday afternoon and buried his
body in sand. Ail are halfbree'is aiid
live on the road between Marysville
and Tulalip reservation. They are
Shakers and possesed the idea that
the world would come to and end at
midnight. In this belief they refused
to eat. The four were at John’s house
yesterday, fitting themselves for the
end, when Silester, who was a crip
ple, appeared. One of them, in line
with their belief in driving out evil
spirits, threw a bucket of water on
Silester. and another put a bucket on
Silester’s head. They threw him down
and he was held there by one of the
party while the women took clubs
and beat him on the body until he
was dead. Some children also were
compelled to beat the helpless Sil
ester, and then his body was covered
with sand. The slayers spent the night
in the woods, singing and shouting.
The sheriff and coroner were noti
fied by another Indian today and brot
the four prisoners here. They believe
all Indians are possessed of evil spir
its that have to be driven out by bodi
ly punishment. Johns has had some
schooling and is an athlete. They
have heen preparing for the world’s
end for two weeks.
