      A Terrible Accusation
      Page 8 of 19 Friday, April 23, 2010 7:53:54 PM
      Wm. Anderson Charged with the Murder of His Father and Annie Waresback
      Wm. Anderson was arrested last Saturday at Iberia, in Miller County, by deputy constable Elmer Evans and J. A. McElyea, on a warrant charging him with the murder, in January last, of his father and Annie Waresback at the Ahart farm, two miles northeast of Linn Creek.
      Anderson was visibly affected by the charge, but soon regained his composure. He refuses to talk about his case, except to declare his innocence.
      Messrs. Carter and Roach have been retained as consel by the prisoner, and the preliminary hearing set for tomorrow.
      Anderson was turned over to the Sheriff on Tuesday after habeas corpus proceedings had been commenced by his attorneys.
      *****
      From "The Reveille, Linn Creek, Camden County MO, Thursday, July 6, 1899.
      Anderson Trial
      The preliminary examination of Wm. Anderson charged with the murder of his father, G. W. Anderson, in January was held before Squire Foster last Friday.
      Practically no evidence tending to incriminate young Anderson was introduced, and he was set at liberty.
      Since the Trial Mrs. Anderson, the widowed mother of the acused has made a trip to St. Louis accompanied by Attorney Roach and City Marshal Winrod. Whether or not further developments are now at hand remains to be seen.
