Wife Makes Mistake

Assaults Innocent Woman In Company With Her Husband

Jacob Shively was arraigned in Justice Guthrie’s court yesterday to answer to the charge of provoke preferred by Mrs. Josie Pierce.

Nannie E. Ishmael Lewis Shively married 3rd in Howard County, IN on 11-Feb-1909 to Edward G. Power.  The following articles concerning the marriage and divorce of Nannie and Edward G. Power are as follows:

Located in the Kokomo Daily Tribune, Kokomo, Indiana, February 13, 1909, Page 7, Column 2:

Mr. Edward G. Power, seventy-three and Mrs. Nannie Shively, fifty-six, were married Thursday evening, the Rev. C. W. Shoemaker of the Markland avenue M. E. church officiating. The groom was a widower and had his Courtland avenue home all furnished and prepared for the coming of his bridge. The wedding was celebrated in the presence of but a few friends. Friday night the bridal couple were visited by an old fashioned belling party, with hideous musical instruments, gongs and all that makes night hideous. Mr. Power had not purposed recognizing the visitors, or coming out of the house, but finally some of the more ambitious of this tormentors climbed to the roof and capped the chimneys, smoking the couple out, whereupon Mr. Power appeared with a shot gun. There was a scattering among the invaders. Mr. and Mrs. Power are excellent people. The bride was a widow and is a most worthy woman. The groom is a large land owner and a veteran of the civil war.

From the Logansport Times, Logansport, Indiana, February 19, 1909, Page 1, Column 6:

Edward G. Powers Married

Wonders will never cease here in the valley of the Wabash. Here is our old friend Edward G. Powers, formerly of the Young America neighborhood, who has withstood the storms of 73 winters, and he unites himself in marriage with Mrs. Nannie E. Shively, who has bloomed and blossomed through 50 autumns. The groom’s daughter, Ladoska Powers, was many years ago a faithful typesetter in the office of The Logansport Times. Our understanding is that Mr. Powers fell into the trap through and advertisement which he himself inserted. He wanted a wife, and he just said so in so many words, and the thing was no sooner said than done, and our wish if that they may live happy evermore. The bride lived at Kokomo, where they were married.

Unfortunately the marriage of Edward G. Power and Mrs. Nannie E. Shively did not go so well as reported in the Kokomo Daily Tribune, Kokomo, Indiana, March 11, 1909, Page 1, Column 5:

False Teeth Are An Issue

In Divorce Suit of Power Vs. Power

Husband Not Nice

In His Table Manners, Is Complaint Of The Wife — He Humiliated And Disgusted Her, She Says, By His Habits In The Home — She Lived With Him Two Weeks — She Wants $3,000 And Her Former Name

Many a craft on the matrimonial sea hits the rocks within a year from the time it is launched, but nearly all of them manage to keep afloat at least a fortnight. Even as short a voyage as that, however, is the record of the shallop of Edward G. and Nannie Power. They set sail on February 12, last, and went on the rocks on February 26 — two weeks later to a day.

It is not known that the law firm of Overson & Manning were ambitious to offer something distinctly new in the way of “fillin’” for a divorce complaint, but they are entitled to credit for putting forward something of that kind. The things charged in the complaint are not scandalous but they sound shockingly unsanitary.

The plaintiff in the suit is the wife, Nannie Power. She asserts that she began to drink of the cup of disappointment and humiliation almost from the day of her marriage to the defendant. She says he  became indifferent to her and entered on a course of conduct toward her that finally made it impossible for her longer to continue in his presence.

The complaint sets out that Power had table manners that were, to say the least, peculiar. It is asserted that he had false teeth and that upon finishing a repast and while the plaintiff was still seated at the table, he would take them out and “lick the teeth and plates”, a performance that filled the plaintiff with humiliation and disgust and made her sick.

It is charged, too, that the defendant was not given to practice of eating from an individual dish. It is asserted that it was his habit to help himself direct from the containing dishes. It is set forth, too, that his manner of partaking of the elements of good cheer were neither deliberate nor gentle, it being asserted that he was known frequently to “grab into a dish with both hands”.

It is further complained that neatness in his habits around the house was not one of the distinguishing traits of the defendant. That is not just the way it is put in the complaint — the “shorter and uglier word” filthy is used there. The plaintiff asserts that all of these disagreeable personal habits were not the only shortcomings of the defendant. It is asserted that he added to them the offense of vulgar language. It is averred that the plaintiff found life with the defendant under such circumstances unbearable. She says she was humiliated by his conduct and rendered ill by it, the impression being left that it was conducive to nausea. She stood it two weeks and then a separation was “the end of the chapter”, that a  resumption of the marriage relation is quite out of the question and that a suggestion of reconciliation is not to be considered. In brief, the complaint leaves an impression that the plaintiff has had enough.

In the concluding paragraph of the complaint it is revealed that the plaintiff wants to be paid reasonably well for the two weeks she lived with the defendant. She suggests alimony in the amount of $3,000. It is set out that the defendant has ninety acres of land in Harrison township and that his property holdings are of the value of at least $10,000. It seems that the defendant has become so repugnant to the plaintiff the the latter wants absolutely nothing out of him but a settlement. She does not even want the name he gave her, for she asks the court to restore to her her former name, Nannie Shively. There is also a request that the defendant be required to pay into the court a reasonable sum for the plaintiff’s use pending the final adjudication of the suit for divorce.

Nannie E. Ishmael Lewis Shively Powers married a 4th time to David W. Buskirk in Miami County, IN on 10-Aug-1909.

Worth Shiveley and Stanley Hager, young men about eighteen years of age became involved in a quarrel on the main street of Nemaha about four o’clock Sunday afternoon and Shiveley was stabbed with knife in the hands of Hager, dying a few moments after the wounds were inflicted. Hager was brought at once to Auburn by citizens of Nemaha and turned over to Sheriff Rogers and County Attorney Armstrong started for Nemaha where they found considerable excitement to prevail. The body of Shiveley had been taken from the drug store where he died to the city hall. A coroner’s jury was empaneled and view the remains and learned the nature of the wound that had caused death after which the body was taken to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Shiveley south of Nemaha. The coroner’s inquest was held in the city hall at Nemaha the same evening. At the time of the inspection of by body by the jurors, but one wound, a deep cut in the side of the neck was found, but when the body was prepared for burial later two other knife wounds were found, one in the back and one on the shoulder. The inquest was of the most searching nature and all witnesses who could throw any light on the tragedy were examined. About midnight and adjournment was taken until 4:00 o’clock Monday afternoon for the purpose of securing additional evidence. When the jury convened Monday the above verdict was returned.

The evidence indicated that after having engaged in an argument with Hager, Shiveley started to walk away when Hager ran up and struck him in the back twice. Shiveley then turned and struck at his assailant, when Hager stabbed him in the neck. Hager than ran east and proceeded to his home. Men who had witnessed the trouble came to the assistance of Shiveley but not having seen the knife in Hager’s hand, did not know that he had been stabbed. They took him into the drug store and Dr. Kelley started to make and examination of his injuries, but after having been placed upon a couch, Shiveley complained that he was fainting and died almost immediately. An ordinary pocket knife with a sharp point and as keen as a razors used. A great many reports are in circulation as to previous threats on then part of Hager and other trouble in which he had been involved but the true and false will only be known when the case comes on for trial. Hager was visibly affected when he learned that Shiveley was dead.

Hager was arranged in the county court Wednesday morning and when the complaint was read to him he pleaded not guilty to the two counts, one charging hime with murder in the first degree and the other with murder in the second degree. The complaint was read by County Attorney Armstrong. H. A. Lambert appeared for the defendant. Only the defendant, the attorneys, the deputy sheriff and a Herald reporter were in court when the lad was arraigned. He was visibly affected and several times wiped the tears from his eyes. He answered the questions put to him in a clear voice but there was no bravado in his attitude. His plea of not guilty was duly entered and the preliminary hearing set for ten o’clock Saturday morning. The young man who is a son of Cassa Hager of Nemaha was questioned informally by Judge Hawxby. He said that he was raised in Missouri and had never attended school beyond the fourth grade. He said that since that time he had worked and helped to support the large family.

——————————————

Worth Adali Shiveley, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Shiveley was born on the farm east of the home place south of Nemaha August 20, 1900, and his age at the time of death was 17 years, 6 months and 4 days. He was the second son of a family of six children four of whom are living, and infant brother having preceded him in death. The remaining children are Ward, Ruby, Ruth and Donald. Worth was a boy of very pleasant disposition and good habits. He was industrious by nature and always ready for any task. He was generous and kind hearted and always willing to accommodate a friend and his general traits of character were such as to indicate that he would as the years passed, become a worthy citizen of the community and an honor to his family. He attended school at both Stella and Nemaha and made many friends among his schoolmates at both places all of whom speak of him in the highest terms. He was baptized and united with the Christian church October 30, 1909 and thus in the days of his youth had laid the foundation for a Christian life. His untimely and tragic death has darkened the home with the shadow of the deepest sorrow and has brought grief also to the wide circle of friends who held him in such high regard. These friends sympathize with the family no less deeply because words are utterly inadequate to fully express their sentiment. This sympathy is shared by his parents, two brothers and two sisters, two grandmothers and numerous uncles, aunts and cousins.

The funeral was held from the Christian church in Nemaha at 10:30 o’clock Wednesday morning and the services were conducted by Rev. Elliott of Peru and Rev. J. W. Sapp of Nemaha. The public schools and places of business were closed during the services. Twelve intimate friends of the deceased serves as active and honorary pall bearers. After the services the remains were taken to Prairie Union cemetery and a great mass of flowers completely covered the casket and surrounded the grave.

Bound Over On Charge Of Murder

AT the Preliminary Hearing Saturday Before Judge Hawxby, Stanley Hager Was Bound Over

Tried At Next Term

Case Will Come Before The District Court Which Convenes The First Of Next Week

Stanley Hager, the young man who was arrested the first of last week and held as the result of having stabbed Worth Shiveley of Nemaha, and caused his death, was given a preliminary hearing Saturday before Judge Hawxby. By the time Court convened the room was paced with interested spectators, a great many of them coming from Nemaha. County Attorney Armstrong was assisted by Att. Edgar Ferneau and the defendant was represented by Lambert & Armstrong. The first witness called was Milt Cogsdill who testified to having spent a portion of the day in the company of Hager together with a number of other boys. He testified that Hager had quarreled with Robert Choleric at the park during the afternoon, and that later the boys were on the street when Hager came up and another quarrel started in which Shiveley was involved, the boys came to blows and after Shiveley had turned away Hager stabbed at his back and as Shiveley turned he was stabbed on the arm and then just above the shoulder blade which blow was the cause of his death. He was cross examined by the defense, but neither side was able to get a complete story from him. Leland Moore was then called and told in part as above.

Kirk Brown was a witness and testified as to the condition of the body, depth of the wound and that he found four different places in the boy’s clothing where the knife had penetrated. Dr. Kelley was then called to the stand and he testified that the wound near the collar bone was the one that really caused the boy’s death as the jugular vein was severed at this time which caused a hemmorage. He like-wise testified as to the condition of the boy’s clothing etc.

Sheriff Rogers was then called to the stand and was called upon to identify the knife which was used as an exhibit. The sheriff testified that Hager had told him where he put the knife when he had run home after the fight and the Sheriff went after it. Many interesting points were brought out in the preliminary and when the trial is set in all probability many more features will be brought out.

Man Perishes Under Train

Laboror Apparently Asleep Between Rails

The decapitated body of a Springfield laborer was found early today on the Frisco spur track where he evidently had been sleeping.

He is identified as Stanley Ernest Hager, 54, of 835 Nichols.

The body was found at 6:30 a.m. on the Phelps “team track” number one, northernmost spur beneath the Benton Avenue viaduct.

The discovery was made by Luther Johnson, 24, of 2919 West Water, a Frisco switchman.

Hager’s body was lying length wise between the rails near the north rail. His right arm was severed and his head was severed at the shoulders. The head was lying just outside the north rail.

Hager was clad in tan trousers and a dark-colored shirt which bore flange marks at the neck.

Pinching action of the car wheel which evidently rolled over him prevented bleeding, police said.

Coroner Dr. E. Allen Pckens, who set an inquest for 7 o’clock tomorrow night at Alma Lohmeyer-Jewell E. Windle Chapel, said Hager had been dead about three hours.

********

The crew of which Johnson was a member had been switching on the track for several hours, but officers were unable to find any evidence on any of the cars to show which one struck Hager.

According to a report by Sgt. Carl Gustafson and Officer Estle Hamilton, it is believed that Hager was sleeping on a wooden grain door lying between the rails.

Near the grain door officers found a piece of brown cardboard, a sweater, a blue shop cap and a partly-filled wine bottle.

Between the grain door and the body, found about 40 feet to the west, officers discovered three pieces of flesh on the outside of the rail and on the inside.

Scuff marks in the cinder road-bed indicated the body was dragged to the point where it was found,, police said.

*********

A boxcar was parked over the grain door, cap, and sweater when when the body was found nearby.

Johnson was standing near the track, checking to see if boxcar doors cleared a viaduct  support, when he saw the body.

Other crew members are listed as Engineer Jack Brewer, e9, of 1124 East Portland and Foreman J. A. Parson, 41, of 700 North Rogers.

A jailer said that when Hager was released Monday, after serving time for drunkenness, he promised that he wouldn’t be back in court again.
