"The verdict of the coroner’s jury charges that Mrs. Druse
shot her husband with a revolver, struck him with an axe upon the head, and
severed his head from his body, causing instantaneous death. That Roxalana
Druse afterward cut up and burned the body. Mary J. Druse, George W. S. Druse,
and Frank Gates are charged with being feloniously present and abetting the
said Roxalana Druse in committing the murder."
