Hooker, Okla., July 30.—(Special
Correspondence) — Tuesday morning
i the town of Hooker was shocked by
finding a woman dead on the right of
way of the Rock Island near the Farm-
ers' elevator. She was lying on her
back with her arms neatly folded on
her bosom, her heels placed together
and her clothes were in order. She
was quickly identified as a woman who
had come to Hooker July 18, 1919, in
company with Shelby Robertson of
Peoria, Illinois, as his wife. \V hen
Robertson came he introduced the
woman as his wife and the pair made
their home with a brother-in-law here
at Hooker by the name of Louis Ham-
ilton, who bad come here last April
j from Peoria, and was juggling ice for
I the ice man here at Hooker,
j J. S. Golden, justice of the peace
and acting coroner, decided that the
j woman came to her death by violent
; means and ordered an inquest. County
j Attorney F. Hiner Dale was called
| from the county seat and a jury eiii-
j paneled. The testimony developed
j that the dead woman was Mrs. Myrtle
i Isonhart, wife of Jesse Isonhart of 400
Lincoln Avenue, Peoria, Illinois. Mrs.
Isonhart eloped with Robertson, who
was a boarder at the Isonhart home,
and worked for Armour & Co. with
Jesse Isonhart.
The latter, when his wife and
boarder left him, started a search to
locate them. He went to the home of
the mother of Shelby Robertson, who
told him that she had received a let-
ter from her son at Hooker, Oklahoma,
and that he was living with Isonhart's
wife here. Isonhart wrote a letter to
Mrs. Louis Hamilton of Hooker, who
is the sister of Shelby Robertson,
asking if his wife and her consort were
at Hooker. While the missing pair
were staying at her home, Mrs. Hamil-
ton replied that they were unknown
here. Isonhart decided to do a little
investigating on his own account and
arrived in Hooker Sunday night on
No. 3. Monday morning he called on
his wife and her consort and spent the
day with them. Monday evening Ison-
hart promised his wife that if she
would go out with him and spend the
night with him that, she would never
see him again, and he would let her
have a divorce. About dusk Isonhart
and wife started for a stroll up and
down the railroad track, and were not
seen any more until Tuesday morning,
when the body of the woman was
found near the track. Isonhart dis-
appeared and left his grip at the Del
Monico hotel, which is still there.
An autopsy revealed two pricks
from a sharp pointed instrument over
the woman's heart. By cutting into
the heart of the woman, the autopsy
showed that the pin pricks had both
entered the walls of the heart, and
must have caused instantaneous death,
as the walls of the heart were flooded
with blood. The verdict of the coron-
er's jury was that Mrytle Isonhart
came to her death by the hands of
Jesse Isonhart, her husband, plunging
some sharp pointed instrument into
her heart A hat pin was found lying
on the ground near the dead woman's
body.
Jesse Isonhart is a small man, of
Jewish parentage, and has been an un-
dertaker by profession, and one strong
circumstantial fact is made against
him in that the body of the woman
was laid out as the work of an under-
taker. Isonhart was seen six miles
east of Hooker Tuesday morning, and
was trying to engage an auto to take
him to Texhoma, Oklahoma, stating
that he would pay any price to get
there. When last seen Isonhart was
wearing a white shirt, blue serge
pants, a dark coat, a brown cap and
dark necktie. He had dark hair, blue
eyes and a scar at the corner of his
mouth on the left side of his face. A
reward will be offered for the arrest
and conviction of Isonhart. The body
of the dead woman was shipped to
her father, John Shoup, at Delaven,
Illinois, on a telegram to the under-
taker here.
Shelby Robertson, the paramour of
the dead woman, is in jail at Guymon.
