(Assailant) MurderThe murder of Oscar G. Montgomery was a major story in the Louisville newspapers for several months. Henry Geiger and his wife, Maggie (Kinslow) Geiger, both testified at the trial, as did the accused, John Kinslow, and another of his sisters, Lallah G. (Kinslow) Ellis. The front page of The Courier-Journal on Monday, 2 May 1932 shouted news of the killing with a series of cascading headlines over the details of the event. Our transcriptions of that first story, and three later ones, follow:


The Courier-Journal, Louisville, Kentucky, Monday, 2 May 1932, page 1

Foreman Found Stabbed Fatally

Police Learn of Quarrel; Man Sought

Woman Finds Body in Home, on Bed Beside Her Sleeping Husband

Five Inch Blade Used

Oscar Montgomery, Factory Employee, Killed at House of Fellow Worker


Stabbed twice in the throat with a kitchen knife, Oscar G. Montgomery, 49 years old, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, a factory foreman, was found dead at 7:30 o’clock Sunday night at the home of Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street. Geiger and Montgomery were fellow employees.

After an investigation, detectives flashed teletype orders for the arrest of John Kinslow, Geiger’s brother-in-law. Kinslow, who lives at the Geiger home, was not there when the body was found. The teletype bulletin specified that Kinslow was wanted on a murder charge. He and Montgomery had quarreled, the detectives learned.

Woman Finds Body

Gieger was asleep when Montgomery’s body was found by Mrs. Gieger on her return from a visit in the neighborhood. Her husband was on the bed where the body was lying.

Failing in an attempt to waken Geiger, Mrs. Geiger drove to the home of some friends, Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, and asked for help. Mr. Perkins was thought to be at the home of Frank Pousardien, 545 Wainwright Street. Mrs. Perkins went there with Mrs. Geiger. Mr. Perkins was not there, but Mr. and Mrs. Pousardien and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Phelps, 1013 South Floyd Street, who were visiting the Pousardiens, accompanied Mrs. Geiger to her home.

Mr. Phelps awakened Geiger. Police were told he exclaimed, “My God, what has happened?” and then collapsed. He was soon revived.

Pair Quarreled, Claim

The detectives established that Kinslow had spoken harshly to his sister, Mrs. Maggie (Kinslow) Geiger, Sunday afternoon in the presence of Montgomery who reprimanded him. Geiger told the police he did not attach any importance to the quarrel.

Geiger, who had been in Appleton, Wisconsin settling the estate of his father, and who had returned by motor, was tired and sleepy from the trip, and had gone to sleep, he said. He admitted he had had some liquor. No charge was placed against him.

Montgomery’s widow, Mrs. Anna Montgomery said her husband had taken her and their two sons, Charles Montgomery and Gerald Montgomery, for an automobile drive Sunday afternoon but Mr. Montgomery seemed to have been drinking. Mrs. Montgomery took the children and left the car.

Near Montgomery’s left shoulder was the knife believed to have been used to inflict the wounds. It is a kitchen knife with a blade about five inches long.

Jugular Vein Cut

Dr. Roy L. Carter, Coroner, said one of the stab wounds severed the jugular vein.

Montgomery was a native of Jasper, Indiana. Besides his wife and two sons, he is survived by another son, Edwin Montgomery, and three daughters, Miss Dorothy Montgomery, Miss Esther Montgomery, and Mrs. Mildred Jenne.

Alleged Knife Killer is Nabbed

Prisoner is Returned to Louisville

Kinslow is Silent After He is Brought Here by Detectives

Accused of Murder

Arrested in Glasgow in Slaying of Oscar Montgomery


John Kinslow, 34 years old, who lives near Glasgow, Kentucky, was arrested on the street in Glasgow at Monday afternoon 4:30 o’clock at the request of Louisville police, who believe he killed Oscar Montgomery, 49-year-old foundry foreman, by cutting his jugular vein with a butcher knife at 1815 South Third Street Sunday. When apprehended, Kinslow refused to say anything, according to W. T. Bransetter, Barren County Deputy Sheriff.

Kinslow was returned to Louisville at 1:00 o’clock Tuesday morning. He was questioned, but would say anything except. “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember.” He was returned in custody of Detective Sergeants Charles Hazel, Charles Brown and Elmer Smith, the latter secretary of the detective department.

A charge of murder was registered against Kinslow. Sergeant Hazel signed the warrant preferring the charge. The detective listed as evidence $2.29 of $4 in Kinslow’s possession. The amount listed as evidence was allegedly taken from the slain man.

The man arrested had left the Geiger home when Mrs. Geiger returned and found Montgomery slain. Her husband was asleep in the same bed. Geiger, who had been to Appleton, Wisconsin to settle the estate of his father, was exhausted from the drive and had been drinking, and efforts of Mrs. Geiger to awaken him were futile. Mrs. Geiger started out to obtain help.

Mrs. Geiger said that Kinslow, who is her brother, was at the residence shortly before Montgomery came in. Geiger was asleep and the other two men talked for a while she said. Montgomery had been drinking and when Kinslow spoke gruffly to Mrs. Geiger, Montgomery rebuked him and an argument followed, the police were told.

When Mrs. Geiger left for the home of Mr. Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, her brother walked out, followed by Montgomery, she related.

It was about two and a half hours later when Mrs. Geiger returned and found Montgomery stabbed.

Funeral services for Montgomery will be held at 8:30 o’clock Wednesday morning at his residence, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, and at 9 o’clock at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church. Burial will be in St. Louis Cemetery.

Kinslow Trial Resumes Today

Sister of Defendant in Fatal Stabbing Testifies for Commonwealth


Trial of John Kinslow, 42 years old, Glasgow, Kentucky, on a charge of murder will be resumed in the Criminal Court Tuesday. The indictment on which he is being charged alleges he stabbed Oscar G. Montgomery, 49, of 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, to death at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street, May 1.

Testifying for the Commonwealth Monday, the first day of the trial, Mrs. Gieger, who is Kinslow’s sister, said he had been visiting her home for three weeks before the tragedy and had acted so strange she believed his mind was affected. She related that Montgomery came to the house the morning of the stabbing and aroused her brother’s resentment by interceding for her when her brother spoke gruffly to her.

She left home after cautioning her brother not to say anything to Montgomery because Montgomery was drunk, she said, adding that she left the house and when she returned in the afternoon she found Montgomery in bed dead, a butcher knife at his side, and her husband in bed with him asleep.

Kinslow, who had disappeared, was arrested in Glasgow several days later although he denied knowledge of the crime, and said he had been drinking. He is represented by attorneys Frank E. Daugherty and Thomas Gardner.

Mr. Geiger, also a witness for the Commonwealth, gave little information about the stabbing. He said he was drunk at the time and knew of “no trouble between Kinslow and Montgomery.” The prosecution is being handled by Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles W. Logan.

John Kinslow Gets Life Term for Slaying of Louisville Man

Knife Murder Jury Out for One Hour; Defense Announces Plan to Appeal


A life sentence in the penitentiary was voted by a jury in the Criminal Court at 5:45 o’clock Tuesday afternoon for John Kinslow, Glasgow, Kentucky, for the murder of Oscar G. Montgomery, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue. The verdict was reached after the jury had deliberated for an hour and five minutes.

Announcing that he was “very much surprised” by the verdict, Frank E. Daugherty, attorney for Kinslow, at once presented an oral motion for a new trial and announced that he will put the motion into writing. If the plea is not granted Mr. Daugherty will appeal the verdict, he announced.

Kinslow was accused of cutting Montgomery’s throat May 1 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street.

In summarizing the case for the Commonwealth, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles W. Logan reviewed the evidence which he contended proved Kinslow guilty of the killing.

Closing arguments for the defense, presented by Mr. Daugherty, contended that the Commonwealth had failed to connect Kinslow with Montgomery’s death. Mr. Daugherty also pointed to testimony introduced by the defense in an effort to show that Kinslow was of unsound mind.

The testimony regarding Kinslow’s mental condition was given by his sister, Lallah G. (Kinslow) Ellis, identified as Mrs. W. E. Ellis, Dr. M. E. Loftus, Eugene Wooten and Nat Brady, all of Glasgow. Each asserted that Kinslow was irresponsible and subject to wild delusions.

They were preceded on the witness stand by Kinslow, himself, who stated that he couldn’t even remember meeting Montgomery that day. He recalled little of what happened, he said, except that he left the Geiger home about 2 or 3 o’clock in the afternoon and hitch-hiked to Glasgow where he arrived the next day.

His testimony followed Judge Alfred T. Burgevin’s refusal to give preemptory instructions for a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Daugherty argued in favor of the motion approximately fifteen minutes, after testimony for the Commonwealth was completed with statements of Mrs. Elizabeth Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, and Mrs. R. W. Dupree, 1810 South Third Street. They said they saw Kinslow arguing in Geiger’s yard with a man resembling Montgomery May 1, and that they saw him later try to enter the house.

That night Mrs. Geiger found her husband asleep in bed with Montgomery, whose throat had been cut. A butcher knife was at Montgomery’s side

Henry Geiger and his wife, Maggie (Kinslow) Geiger, both testified at the trial, as did the accused, John Kinslow, and another of his sisters, Lallah G. (Kinslow) Ellis. The front page of The Courier-Journal on Monday, 2 May 1932 shouted news of the killing with a series of cascading headlines over the details of the event. Our transcriptions of that first story, and three later ones, follow:

Foreman Found Stabbed Fatally

Police Learn of Quarrel; Man Sought

Woman Finds Body in Home, on Bed Beside Her Sleeping Husband

Five Inch Blade Used

Oscar Montgomery, Factory Employee, Killed at House of Fellow Worker


Stabbed twice in the throat with a kitchen knife, Oscar G. Montgomery, 49 years old, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, a factory foreman, was found dead at 7:30 o’clock Sunday night at the home of Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street. Geiger and Montgomery were fellow employees.

After an investigation, detectives flashed teletype orders for the arrest of John Kinslow, Geiger’s brother-in-law. Kinslow, who lives at the Geiger home, was not there when the body was found. The teletype bulletin specified that Kinslow was wanted on a murder charge. He and Montgomery had quarreled, the detectives learned.

Woman Finds Body

Gieger was asleep when Montgomery’s body was found by Mrs. Gieger on her return from a visit in the neighborhood. Her husband was on the bed where the body was lying.

Failing in an attempt to waken Geiger, Mrs. Geiger drove to the home of some friends, Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, and asked for help. Mr. Perkins was thought to be at the home of Frank Pousardien, 545 Wainwright Street. Mrs. Perkins went there with Mrs. Geiger. Mr. Perkins was not there, but Mr. and Mrs. Pousardien and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Phelps, 1013 South Floyd Street, who were visiting the Pousardiens, accompanied Mrs. Geiger to her home.

Mr. Phelps awakened Geiger. Police were told he exclaimed, “My God, what has happened?” and then collapsed. He was soon revived.

Pair Quarreled, Claim

The detectives established that Kinslow had spoken harshly to his sister, Mrs. Maggie (Kinslow) Geiger, Sunday afternoon in the presence of Montgomery who reprimanded him. Geiger told the police he did not attach any importance to the quarrel.

Geiger, who had been in Appleton, Wisconsin settling the estate of his father, and who had returned by motor, was tired and sleepy from the trip, and had gone to sleep, he said. He admitted he had had some liquor. No charge was placed against him.

Montgomery’s widow, Mrs. Anna Montgomery said her husband had taken her and their two sons, Charles Montgomery and Gerald Montgomery, for an automobile drive Sunday afternoon but Mr. Montgomery seemed to have been drinking. Mrs. Montgomery took the children and left the car.

Near Montgomery’s left shoulder was the knife believed to have been used to inflict the wounds. It is a kitchen knife with a blade about five inches long.

Jugular Vein Cut

Dr. Roy L. Carter, Coroner, said one of the stab wounds severed the jugular vein.

Montgomery was a native of Jasper, Indiana. Besides his wife and two sons, he is survived by another son, Edwin Montgomery, and three daughters, Miss Dorothy Montgomery, Miss Esther Montgomery, and Mrs. Mildred Jenne.

Alleged Knife Killer is Nabbed

Prisoner is Returned to Louisville

Kinslow is Silent After He is Brought Here by Detectives

Accused of Murder

Arrested in Glasgow in Slaying of Oscar Montgomery


John Kinslow, 34 years old, who lives near Glasgow, Kentucky, was arrested on the street in Glasgow at Monday afternoon 4:30 o’clock at the request of Louisville police, who believe he killed Oscar Montgomery, 49-year-old foundry foreman, by cutting his jugular vein with a butcher knife at 1815 South Third Street Sunday. When apprehended, Kinslow refused to say anything, according to W. T. Bransetter, Barren County Deputy Sheriff.

Kinslow was returned to Louisville at 1:00 o’clock Tuesday morning. He was questioned, but would say anything except. “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember.” He was returned in custody of Detective Sergeants Charles Hazel, Charles Brown and Elmer Smith, the latter secretary of the detective department.

A charge of murder was registered against Kinslow. Sergeant Hazel signed the warrant preferring the charge. The detective listed as evidence $2.29 of $4 in Kinslow’s possession. The amount listed as evidence was allegedly taken from the slain man.

The man arrested had left the Geiger home when Mrs. Geiger returned and found Montgomery slain. Her husband was asleep in the same bed. Geiger, who had been to Appleton, Wisconsin to settle the estate of his father, was exhausted from the drive and had been drinking, and efforts of Mrs. Geiger to awaken him were futile. Mrs. Geiger started out to obtain help.

Mrs. Geiger said that Kinslow, who is her brother, was at the residence shortly before Montgomery came in. Geiger was asleep and the other two men talked for a while she said. Montgomery had been drinking and when Kinslow spoke gruffly to Mrs. Geiger, Montgomery rebuked him and an argument followed, the police were told.

When Mrs. Geiger left for the home of Mr. Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, her brother walked out, followed by Montgomery, she related.

It was about two and a half hours later when Mrs. Geiger returned and found Montgomery stabbed.

Funeral services for Montgomery will be held at 8:30 o’clock Wednesday morning at his residence, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, and at 9 o’clock at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church. Burial will be in St. Louis Cemetery.

Kinslow Trial Resumes Today

Sister of Defendant in Fatal Stabbing Testifies for Commonwealth


Trial of John Kinslow, 42 years old, Glasgow, Kentucky, on a charge of murder will be resumed in the Criminal Court Tuesday. The indictment on which he is being charged alleges he stabbed Oscar G. Montgomery, 49, of 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, to death at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street, May 1.

Testifying for the Commonwealth Monday, the first day of the trial, Mrs. Gieger, who is Kinslow’s sister, said he had been visiting her home for three weeks before the tragedy and had acted so strange she believed his mind was affected. She related that Montgomery came to the house the morning of the stabbing and aroused her brother’s resentment by interceding for her when her brother spoke gruffly to her.

She left home after cautioning her brother not to say anything to Montgomery because Montgomery was drunk, she said, adding that she left the house and when she returned in the afternoon she found Montgomery in bed dead, a butcher knife at his side, and her husband in bed with him asleep.

Kinslow, who had disappeared, was arrested in Glasgow several days later although he denied knowledge of the crime, and said he had been drinking. He is represented by attorneys Frank E. Daugherty and Thomas Gardner.

Mr. Geiger, also a witness for the Commonwealth, gave little information about the stabbing. He said he was drunk at the time and knew of “no trouble between Kinslow and Montgomery.” The prosecution is being handled by Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles W. Logan.

John Kinslow Gets Life Term for Slaying of Louisville Man

Knife Murder Jury Out for One Hour; Defense Announces Plan to Appeal


A life sentence in the penitentiary was voted by a jury in the Criminal Court at 5:45 o’clock Tuesday afternoon for John Kinslow, Glasgow, Kentucky, for the murder of Oscar G. Montgomery, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue. The verdict was reached after the jury had deliberated for an hour and five minutes.

Announcing that he was “very much surprised” by the verdict, Frank E. Daugherty, attorney for Kinslow, at once presented an oral motion for a new trial and announced that he will put the motion into writing. If the plea is not granted Mr. Daugherty will appeal the verdict, he announced.

Kinslow was accused of cutting Montgomery’s throat May 1 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street.

In summarizing the case for the Commonwealth, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles W. Logan reviewed the evidence which he contended proved Kinslow guilty of the killing.

Closing arguments for the defense, presented by Mr. Daugherty, contended that the Commonwealth had failed to connect Kinslow with Montgomery’s death. Mr. Daugherty also pointed to testimony introduced by the defense in an effort to show that Kinslow was of unsound mind.

The testimony regarding Kinslow’s mental condition was given by his sister, Lallah G. (Kinslow) Ellis, identified as Mrs. W. E. Ellis, Dr. M. E. Loftus, Eugene Wooten and Nat Brady, all of Glasgow. Each asserted that Kinslow was irresponsible and subject to wild delusions.

They were preceded on the witness stand by Kinslow, himself, who stated that he couldn’t even remember meeting Montgomery that day. He recalled little of what happened, he said, except that he left the Geiger home about 2 or 3 o’clock in the afternoon and hitch-hiked to Glasgow where he arrived the next day.

His testimony followed Judge Alfred T. Burgevin’s refusal to give preemptory instructions for a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Daugherty argued in favor of the motion approximately fifteen minutes, after testimony for the Commonwealth was completed with statements of Mrs. Elizabeth Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, and Mrs. R. W. Dupree, 1810 South Third Street. They said they saw Kinslow arguing in Geiger’s yard with a man resembling Montgomery May 1, and that they saw him later try to enter the house.

That night Mrs. Geiger found her husband asleep in bed with Montgomery, whose throat had been cut. A butcher knife was at Montgomery’s side

The front page of The Courier-Journal on Monday, 2 May 1932 shouted news of the killing with a series of cascading headlines over the details of the event. Our transcriptions of that first story, and three later ones, follow:


The Courier-Journal, Louisville, Kentucky, Monday, 2 May 1932, page 1

Foreman Found Stabbed Fatally

Police Learn of Quarrel; Man Sought

Woman Finds Body in Home, on Bed Beside Her Sleeping Husband

Five Inch Blade Used

Oscar Montgomery, Factory Employee, Killed at House of Fellow Worker


Stabbed twice in the throat with a kitchen knife, Oscar G. Montgomery, 49 years old, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, a factory foreman, was found dead at 7:30 o’clock Sunday night at the home of Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street. Geiger and Montgomery were fellow employees.

After an investigation, detectives flashed teletype orders for the arrest of John Kinslow, Geiger’s brother-in-law. Kinslow, who lives at the Geiger home, was not there when the body was found. The teletype bulletin specified that Kinslow was wanted on a murder charge. He and Montgomery had quarreled, the detectives learned.

Woman Finds Body

Gieger was asleep when Montgomery’s body was found by Mrs. Gieger on her return from a visit in the neighborhood. Her husband was on the bed where the body was lying.

Failing in an attempt to waken Geiger, Mrs. Geiger drove to the home of some friends, Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, and asked for help. Mr. Perkins was thought to be at the home of Frank Pousardien, 545 Wainwright Street. Mrs. Perkins went there with Mrs. Geiger. Mr. Perkins was not there, but Mr. and Mrs. Pousardien and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Phelps, 1013 South Floyd Street, who were visiting the Pousardiens, accompanied Mrs. Geiger to her home.

Mr. Phelps awakened Geiger. Police were told he exclaimed, “My God, what has happened?” and then collapsed. He was soon revived.

Pair Quarreled, Claim

The detectives established that Kinslow had spoken harshly to his sister, Mrs. Maggie (Kinslow) Geiger, Sunday afternoon in the presence of Montgomery who reprimanded him. Geiger told the police he did not attach any importance to the quarrel.

Geiger, who had been in Appleton, Wisconsin settling the estate of his father, and who had returned by motor, was tired and sleepy from the trip, and had gone to sleep, he said. He admitted he had had some liquor. No charge was placed against him.

Montgomery’s widow, Mrs. Anna Montgomery said her husband had taken her and their two sons, Charles Montgomery and Gerald Montgomery, for an automobile drive Sunday afternoon but Mr. Montgomery seemed to have been drinking. Mrs. Montgomery took the children and left the car.

Near Montgomery’s left shoulder was the knife believed to have been used to inflict the wounds. It is a kitchen knife with a blade about five inches long.

Jugular Vein Cut

Dr. Roy L. Carter, Coroner, said one of the stab wounds severed the jugular vein.

Montgomery was a native of Jasper, Indiana. Besides his wife and two sons, he is survived by another son, Edwin Montgomery, and three daughters, Miss Dorothy Montgomery, Miss Esther Montgomery, and Mrs. Mildred Jenne.

Alleged Knife Killer is Nabbed

Prisoner is Returned to Louisville

Kinslow is Silent After He is Brought Here by Detectives

Accused of Murder

Arrested in Glasgow in Slaying of Oscar Montgomery


John Kinslow, 34 years old, who lives near Glasgow, Kentucky, was arrested on the street in Glasgow at Monday afternoon 4:30 o’clock at the request of Louisville police, who believe he killed Oscar Montgomery, 49-year-old foundry foreman, by cutting his jugular vein with a butcher knife at 1815 South Third Street Sunday. When apprehended, Kinslow refused to say anything, according to W. T. Bransetter, Barren County Deputy Sheriff.

Kinslow was returned to Louisville at 1:00 o’clock Tuesday morning. He was questioned, but would say anything except. “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember.” He was returned in custody of Detective Sergeants Charles Hazel, Charles Brown and Elmer Smith, the latter secretary of the detective department.

A charge of murder was registered against Kinslow. Sergeant Hazel signed the warrant preferring the charge. The detective listed as evidence $2.29 of $4 in Kinslow’s possession. The amount listed as evidence was allegedly taken from the slain man.

The man arrested had left the Geiger home when Mrs. Geiger returned and found Montgomery slain. Her husband was asleep in the same bed. Geiger, who had been to Appleton, Wisconsin to settle the estate of his father, was exhausted from the drive and had been drinking, and efforts of Mrs. Geiger to awaken him were futile. Mrs. Geiger started out to obtain help.

Mrs. Geiger said that Kinslow, who is her brother, was at the residence shortly before Montgomery came in. Geiger was asleep and the other two men talked for a while she said. Montgomery had been drinking and when Kinslow spoke gruffly to Mrs. Geiger, Montgomery rebuked him and an argument followed, the police were told.

When Mrs. Geiger left for the home of Mr. Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, her brother walked out, followed by Montgomery, she related.

It was about two and a half hours later when Mrs. Geiger returned and found Montgomery stabbed.

Funeral services for Montgomery will be held at 8:30 o’clock Wednesday morning at his residence, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, and at 9 o’clock at St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church. Burial will be in St. Louis Cemetery.

Kinslow Trial Resumes Today

Sister of Defendant in Fatal Stabbing Testifies for Commonwealth


Trial of John Kinslow, 42 years old, Glasgow, Kentucky, on a charge of murder will be resumed in the Criminal Court Tuesday. The indictment on which he is being charged alleges he stabbed Oscar G. Montgomery, 49, of 2338 Lansdowne Avenue, to death at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street, May 1.

Testifying for the Commonwealth Monday, the first day of the trial, Mrs. Gieger, who is Kinslow’s sister, said he had been visiting her home for three weeks before the tragedy and had acted so strange she believed his mind was affected. She related that Montgomery came to the house the morning of the stabbing and aroused her brother’s resentment by interceding for her when her brother spoke gruffly to her.

She left home after cautioning her brother not to say anything to Montgomery because Montgomery was drunk, she said, adding that she left the house and when she returned in the afternoon she found Montgomery in bed dead, a butcher knife at his side, and her husband in bed with him asleep.

Kinslow, who had disappeared, was arrested in Glasgow several days later although he denied knowledge of the crime, and said he had been drinking. He is represented by attorneys Frank E. Daugherty and Thomas Gardner.

Mr. Geiger, also a witness for the Commonwealth, gave little information about the stabbing. He said he was drunk at the time and knew of “no trouble between Kinslow and Montgomery.” The prosecution is being handled by Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles W. Logan.

John Kinslow Gets Life Term for Slaying of Louisville Man

Knife Murder Jury Out for One Hour; Defense Announces Plan to Appeal


A life sentence in the penitentiary was voted by a jury in the Criminal Court at 5:45 o’clock Tuesday afternoon for John Kinslow, Glasgow, Kentucky, for the murder of Oscar G. Montgomery, 2338 Lansdowne Avenue. The verdict was reached after the jury had deliberated for an hour and five minutes.

Announcing that he was “very much surprised” by the verdict, Frank E. Daugherty, attorney for Kinslow, at once presented an oral motion for a new trial and announced that he will put the motion into writing. If the plea is not granted Mr. Daugherty will appeal the verdict, he announced.

Kinslow was accused of cutting Montgomery’s throat May 1 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Geiger, 1815 South Third Street.

In summarizing the case for the Commonwealth, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles W. Logan reviewed the evidence which he contended proved Kinslow guilty of the killing.

Closing arguments for the defense, presented by Mr. Daugherty, contended that the Commonwealth had failed to connect Kinslow with Montgomery’s death. Mr. Daugherty also pointed to testimony introduced by the defense in an effort to show that Kinslow was of unsound mind.

The testimony regarding Kinslow’s mental condition was given by his sister, Lallah G. (Kinslow) Ellis, identified as Mrs. W. E. Ellis, Dr. M. E. Loftus, Eugene Wooten and Nat Brady, all of Glasgow. Each asserted that Kinslow was irresponsible and subject to wild delusions.

They were preceded on the witness stand by Kinslow, himself, who stated that he couldn’t even remember meeting Montgomery that day. He recalled little of what happened, he said, except that he left the Geiger home about 2 or 3 o’clock in the afternoon and hitch-hiked to Glasgow where he arrived the next day.

His testimony followed Judge Alfred T. Burgevin’s refusal to give preemptory instructions for a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Daugherty argued in favor of the motion approximately fifteen minutes, after testimony for the Commonwealth was completed with statements of Mrs. Elizabeth Perkins, 659 Atwood Street, and Mrs. R. W. Dupree, 1810 South Third Street. They said they saw Kinslow arguing in Geiger’s yard with a man resembling Montgomery May 1, and that they saw him later try to enter the house.

That night Mrs. Geiger found her husband asleep in bed with Montgomery, whose throat had been cut. A butcher knife was at Montgomery’s side

Aaron was 37 years of age and a blacksmith with real estate valued at $300, and Mary was 31 years of age. Only Aaron could both read and write. The couple was enumerated with seven children in 1850.

(First Wife) Research NotesThere appears to be confusion on the Find a Grave memorial page for Aaron Kinslow's first and second wives. The name recorded on the memorial reads Mary Elizabeth “Bettie” (Sanders) Kinslow, and we suspect it is one memorial which combines the information for both his first wife, Mary (Kinslow) Kinslow, and second wife, Elizabeth (Sanders) Kinslow. The birth and death dates recorded on the memorial are the birth and death dates of Aaron's first wife, Mary (Kinslow) Kinslow, who was born about 1818 and died on 18 December 1861. The memorial displays the given names of both Mary, Aaron's first wife, and of his second wife, Elizabeth (Sanders) Kinslow, who was also called Bettie. She was born in Kentucky about 1832 and died between 1900, when she was enumerated in the household of her stepson, Silas D. Kinslow, who may have considered her his mother, and 1910 when she was no longer living with his family. We suspect the burial information provided on the memorial is Elizabeth's as Aaron was buried in Allen Cross Roads Cemetery, Lucas, Barren County, Kentucky in 1898.5,2,1,6,7

(Deceased) Will1 April 1891Her father, Aaron Kinslow, prepared his will dated 1 April 1891 in Barren County, Kentucky, mentioning his beloved wife, Elizabeth Kinslow, his son William H. Kinslow, four of his deceased children, Ambrose Page Kinslow, Adam Kinslow, Mary Tom Bradshaw and Susan Elizabeth Houchens, and named his youngest son, Silas Dillon Kinslow, his Executor. We believe the additional children Aaron did not mention in his will were not included because they, too, were deceased and had left no heirs. Our transcription of his will follows:

I, Aaron Kinslow, of the County of Barren, State of Kentucky, do make this my last will and testament hereby revoking any and all former wills I may have made. I give, bequeath and devise to my beloved wife, Elizabeth Kinslow, in lieu of her dower, the farm on which we now reside, situated in the County of Barren on the waters of Rose creek, containing 62 acres, during her natural life and all of the stock, household goods, furniture, provision and other personal property which may be thereon at the time of my decease, during her natural life as aforesaid, she however being directed to sell so much of the perishable property as may be sufficient to pay my just debts. I will and desire that after my decease my son Silas Dillon Kinslow shall remain and keep house together with my said wife and to have the use of said farm and to support my said wife during her natural life, at the death of my said wife the real estate aforesaid, I give and devise to my aforesaid son to him and to his heirs forever. Should my said son cease or refuse to support my said wife during her natural life and at her death pay her funeral expenses then this stipulation with him to be null and void, and an equal division be made after the death of my said wife with my other children hereinafter named. Should there remain at the death of my said wife any of the personal property upon said farm, then I will and bequeath the same to my aforesaid son in the same manner. If my said wife should not survive me then I give and devise all the said property to my aforesaid son and his heirs forever. Charging my said son with the payment of my just debts and to my other children the most of whom are now deceased and whose names are as follows: Ambrose Page Kinslow deceased, Adam Kinslow deceased, William H. Kinslow, Mary Tom Bradshaw deceased, Susan Elizabeth Houchens deceased. To them and to their heirs after the death of my said wife, I give and bequeath the sum of five dollars lawful money of the United States to be equally divided among them which I give to them their heirs and assigns forever. I do hereby constitute and appoint my son Silas Dillion Kinslow Executor of this my last will and testament. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 1st day of April, 1891.

His will was signed "Aaron Kinslow" and witnessed by "Joel Osborn" and "Woodard Greer"
