(American Indian) Indian Names Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.5,6,7,8,9,10,11

(American Indian) Indian Names Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.13,14,15,16,17,18,19

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

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

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

(Wife) Death20 October 1891Flora became a widow when George W. Courtney died in a terrible train accident on 20 October 1891. The Galesburg Republican-Register, the following day, printed the story of the tragedy which took three additional lives and seriously injured 18 others. The train was running at a high rate of speed, and the facts showed that the switch was partially open on the side-track, causing most of the cars on the train to derail. Riding in the engine were Engineer A.A. Emery, Fireman Nels Anderson and George Courtney, the traveling engineer, who went on the trip to see how the new Locomotive worked. Anderson was blown from the cab by the steam, and survived. Courtney and Emery had no chance to escape, and their bodies were found close to the locomotive. A young man named Frank S. Johnson of Avon, who was standing on the steps of the smoking-car, attempted to jump, but was thrown under the wheels and killed. The fourth death was a young mother named Mrs. George Allen. She had been sitting next to the window in the first chair-car with her baby who survived. The scene after the wreck was said to have been heart-rending and panicky. Great surprise was expressed that the list of fatalities was not larger.2,1

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
