Hi Dennis,

Do you have more info re: the outlaw brothers James & Frank Dempsey? Childhood home, etc.?

I need a location for their childhood neighbor, Arvin Fanning b.1879 AR, s/o Dick & Mary (Clark) Fanning.

Grasping at straws. Thanks, Meg in NM

On Thursday night at Coolidge, Kans; at about 12o'clock, James Dempsey, shot and killed his wife, while in bed. Mrs. Dempsey had been sick for a few weeks back, and a child was born to them two weeks ago. Dempsey had been on a drunk for a few days, and was on the day previous to the murder, and had repeatedly stated that his wife was a source of expense to him, and that he would kill her. She was shot through the head by a pistol ball, and killed instantly. The pistol was found in the bed. His version of the story is, that while asleep he was awakened by a pistol shot, and discovered his wife had been shot. He believing that she had shot herself.
He was sent to this city immediately on being arrested to save him from being lynched. He arrived here on the one o'clock train and was taken back on the 2 :40 train accompanied by Sheriff Sughrue, and Deputies Tate and Cary, to be tried. It is generally believed that he is guilty.
