D. McDaniel, of St Joseph, prosecut
ing attorney of Buchanan .county, is
charged with naving' murdered his
wife, Harriet Moss McDaniel, on the
night of July 14, 1918.
Because of the prominence of Mc
Daniel and his previous record as a
fearless prosecutor, the case has at
tracted widespread attention.
Another almost unprecedented fea
ture of the case is the fact that Mc
Daniel, while still under indictment
for murder by a grand jury was a
candidate for re-election, to the of
fice of prosecuting attorney for Bu
chanan county, and after a strenuous
campaign was defeated at the polls
on November 7th.
. At 12:20 o'clock on the morning of
July 15, 1916, McDaniel telephoned
the police of St. Joseph that his wife
had been terribly beaten in their home
at 1806 South Twentieth street, St.
Joseph. He said he had found her
moaning and unconscious on the floor
of her bedroom, with a deep gash in
her head.
The coroner's autopsy later found
the wound was nine inches long and
had been inflicted by a blunt, instru
ment. Mrs. McDaniel, accompanied by her
husband, was taken to the Ensworth
Hospital, where she died at 8:39 a.
hell."
McDaniel said he crouched down
behind the hood of his automobile
when the first shot was fired, took out
his 'own revolver, which he always
carried while prosecuting attorney,
and fired. McDaniel said he fired five
times and that the assailant fired
five, making it ten shots in ajl.
Fear for his family now took hold
of McDaniel and he dashed into the
house and to his wife's bedroom where
he found her moaning and uncon
scious. "'
The bloodhounds were first' to re.
veal a possible clew. In the rear of
McDanlel's home a basement window
screen was found cut and the window
open. The road to the McDaniel bed'
room was clear, up the stairs
through easily unlocked doors. The
bloodhounds were "nosed" at the
basement window and the trail began.
They led a zigzag course through the
back yard and through two miles of
streets to a -house on Eighth street,
then they wandered up and down the
corridors of this house and up and
down an alley in the rear..
Eleven suspects were arrested in
this house but a thorough investiga
tion luted led to nothing definite.
Other suspects were arrested in the
lower districts throughout" the city,

the end.
Mrs. McDaniel was 32 years old
at the time of her death. The trag
edy occurred on the eve of their
daughter Helen's birthday and only a
few days prior to the start of an in
tended trip to Boston, which McDaniel
says he had planned to go with her.
Five minutes after the crime had
been made known to the police the
entire criminal machinery of St. Jos
eph was set in motion. A dastardly
crime had been committed in the very
household of the man whose activity
against certain gangs of the city's
underworld had won for him the
praise of many and the hatred of
some.
Police, detectives and private agen
cies were employed immediately and
the bloodhounds were set upon the
trail. , A hurried investigation of the
house revealed that the dresser draw
ers in Mrs. McDaniel's room had
been ransacked, two rings had been
torn from her "fingers and a revolver
which she always kept in the bureau
drawer was missing. . i
. McDaniel said that on the night of
July 14 he left home about 7:45 p.
m., and visited the Odd Fellows Lodge
remaining there about half an hour.
From there he says he drove his au
tomobile to . 17th and Buchanan
streets to keep an eye for a short
time ,upon a "house" in that neigh
borhood which had been called to his
attention as needing 6bservation. Ac
cording to his testimony ,, he "slunk
around" this house for nearly an hour,
then continued by automobile to an
other point in the city fa investigate
a charge that a certain place ' was
selling liquor without a license.
From this point, McDaniel testified,
he went directly home, putting his
automobile , in the . garage and pro.
ceeding to his bedroom to retire for
the night at 11:30 p. m. vj; V;
Before he had completed his prep.
arations for" bed and while convers

received a telephone call front a man
who said he was at the saloon of Hart
and Blakesley, 8th I and Messanie
streets. The man ! impersonated
personal acquaintance, McDaniel said,
and informed the prosecuting attor
ney that a brother of McDaniel was
in the saloon drinking heavily;
Re-dressing, McDaniel said he told
his wife about the telephone call and
hurrying to the garage, took out the
automobile and went to the saloon to
get his brother. He said he- found
no one at the--saloon who admitted
having called him, nor was his broth
er there. At the suggestion of the
bartender, McDaniel said he"" visited
another place. But this visit was
equally futile..
McDaniel decided the. telephone call
was a "fake" and returned home," ar
riving about 12:10 a. m. ,
' As he was alighting from his au
tomobile directly in front of his home
McDaniel said, a ' sho was firedby
some one behind a large tree just
south of, the garage.' It was then,
for the first time, that Mellaril as
sociated the proceedings of the last
few minutes with an ananymous let

the murder in which the author in
very illiterate terms and printed let
tering, declared that if McDaniel fail

On the night of the murder a
speeding automobile was caught sight
of as it dashed out of town. A man
saw it, became suspicious, impressed
aid and gave chase. But the mysteri
ous car finally was lost near De Kalb,
Mo.
So meagre were the facts and so
conflicting the testimony of various
Witnesses that at one hearing the cor
oner, baffled, cried out to the crowd
ed courtroom for volunteer witnesses.
There were none. The court, owing
to the nature of the case, and owing
to the fact that McDaniel could hard
ly acts as prosecuting attorney, ap
pointed Bart M. Lockwood as special
prosecutor.
One bit of evidence offered by two
witnesses at the inquest concerned a
"scream" which it was testified came
from the direction of the McDaniel
home at about 10:10 p. m. This was
while McDaniel was out, according to
his testimony, but before his second
departure at 11:45 p. m. Two wit
nesses heard the scream, they de
clared, and one- added that the wom
an's scream was followed by a laugh.
Several witnesses said they heard the
shots about midnight, "but said there
were but five shots.
Another witness testified that he
saw Mrs. McDaniel pass the window
in the home after McDaniel had left
the house at; 11 :30. - This testimony
was accepted as proving McDaniel's
statement that his wif was all right
when he left., " ;-
