Methodist Minister Arrested - Charged by the Government with
Mailing Obscene Literature
Rev. Lynn Geo. J. Kelly, a Methodist minister, was arrested
Friday by a deputy C.S. Marshall, upon a charge of sending
obscene literature through the mail. Miss Jessamine Hadgeon of
Council Bluffs, the complaining witness was present at the
preliminary hearing before U.S. Commissioner Ziebach. The
defendant was held to the U.S. district court in the sum of
$1000. In the absence of bail he was remanded to the Federal
prison at Sioux Falls to await trial. It is said that the M.E.
congregation at Winner had taken steps some time ago to have Rev.
Kelly removed because of adverse reports concerning his previous
mode of living. The minister had been assigned to Winner only
three months. It is charged that he wrote many obscene letters to
young ladies in Sioux City and Omaha, who had answered his
advertisements for a stenographer.

McGregor, Iowa column
McGregor, Iowa, June 3 -
The body of Jeremiah Ryan, who died at St. Joseph's hospital in
Dubuque May 28, was brought to McGregor for burial. Mr. Ryan was
an old resident of this place, having come here in November,
1864. For 26 years he was connected with the Stauer &
Daubenberger Lumber company and had a large business acquaintance
through Clayton and Allamakee counties. Some years ago he gave up
work because of his advancing age and in 1910 moved to Dubuque
with his wife. Since her death two years ago he has been at St.
Joseph's hospital. He was 80 years of age at the time of death.
Of the eight children who were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ryan, five
are living: Edward G. and John F. of Des Moines; Margaret of St.
Paul; Estelle, Great Falls, Mont. and William of Milwaukee. John,
William and Margaret brought the remains of their father to
McGregor for burial. Services were held in St. Mary's church and
interment was made in the Catholic cemetery.
During the electric storm between 1 and 3 o'clock Sunday
afternoon the Berry hotel, at North McGregor, was struck by
lightning. The bolt tore off the side of one of the capolas and
demolished a brick chimney. A ball of fire went through the
lobby. Miss Anna Berry, who was standing with her hand on the
cash register, was thrown to the floor and rendered unconscious
for several moments.

Was Kelly a Murderer? -Insane Preacher, formerly of Winner, May
Have Been Villisca Ax Man
Efforts are being made by Iowa authorities to connect Rev. Lynn
George J. Kelley, who is under indictment in the federal court
for South Dakota for sending obscene matter through the mails and
is now in the federal hospital for insane at Washington, D.C.,
with the murder of a family at Villisca, Iowa last year. Kelley
at the time was preaching at a place near Villisca and was
staying at the home of the minister in that town on the night of
the murder. Kelly now maintains that he is perfectly sane and
wants to be released from detention in the federal hospital for
the Insane, but his attorneys declare that he is undoubtedly
insane, and if he was involved in the crime at Villisca, Ia., he
remembers nothing of it now, and must have been insane at the
time.
