THE COLBY MURDER
The Colby murder occurred in that part of Clinton county known as the Sugar
Valley Narrows, on the road leading from Washington Furnace to Tylersville.
Here, on the banks of a little stream called Cherry run, lived Isaiah Colby
and Norah Colby, his wife. Their home was a rude dwelling, built of hemlock
boards, containing two rooms, one of which was used as a kitchen and the
other as a bedroom. The house was built on a tract of forty acres of land,
owned by John Colby; only one-half of this tract was cleared, and even that
was in such a neglected condition as to be almost worthless. The Colbys
were a simple, harmless set, and eked out a miserable existence in this
cheerless spot. Isaiah Colby was a son of Mrs. Anna Colby, born previous to
her marriage with John Colby. Mrs. Colby's maiden name was Fritz, and
Isaiah, when a boy, went by the name of Malachai Fritz. Nora Colby's maiden
name was Nora Jordon, a daughter of Flavious Jordon, of Flemington, Pa.
Young Fritz and Nora Jordon were both adopted by John Colby, and when they
grew up they were married, and located on the farm before mentioned. Here
they met their death at the hand of the assassin Saturday evening, August
6th, 1887. The particulars of the crime are as follows:
On Monday, August 8th, 1887, Mrs. Anna Colby, wife of John Colby, and a
nephew named Charles, who lived on a farm, about two miles from Isaiah Colby
's, went to the latter's house, having previously promised to assist on that
day in harvesting the oats crops. Arriving there Mrs. Colby was horrified
to find the dead bodies of her adopted children lying near each other, about
120 feet from the house, where, from appearances, Isaiah had gone to cut
grass. He was lying with the side of his face to the ground, a bullet hole
in his right eye in the corner nearest the nose, and a basket, which had
been filled with grass, near by. His wife was only about an arm's length di
stant. Entering the house Mrs. Colby and her nephew found the child of
Isaiah and Nora, a bright, black-eyed little one, almost starved, and crying
as though its heart would break.
A coroner's inquest was duly held, Justice of the Peace C. W. Conser
summoning the following jury: Samuel Caris, foreman; Emanuel Bressler, F. K.
Miller, A. J. Grieb, W. H. Rishel and Jacob Ocker. J. D. Hubler acted as
clerk for the jury, and Mr. J. H. Huston was the examining physician. A
verdict was rendered in substance that Isaiah and Nora Colby were shot to
death by a person or persons unknown to the jury.
Owing to the fact the decomposition had set in, the remains of Mr. And Mrs.
Colby were lowered in the graves prepared for them in the cemetery at
Tylersville, at 10 o'clock Monday night, August 8th, but were not covered
until Tuesday afternoon. A guard was placed over the graves, so that the
bodies could not be disturbed. The funeral services were held at 2 p.m.
Tuesday, and hundreds of people assembled from all parts of Sugar Valley to
witness the last sad rites over the murdered couple. Rev. Dotterer, of the
German Reformed church, conducted the services. During the day crowds of
people viewed the remains as they reposed in the open graves.
Isaiah Colby was thirty-six years of age. Nora was nearly twenty-one years
old; they had two children, one fifteen months old, and the other about four
years old - the oldest living with its grandparents.
On Saturday morning, August 6th, 1887, William Ruhl, Ellis Frantz and Herman
Bressler, farmers who attended the Lock Haven market, reported that they had
been stopped on the highway in the Narrows above Washington Furnace, by a
man who pointed a pistol at them, and compelled them to hand over what ever
valuables they had. The victims of this villain agreed that but one man was
seen, and their descriptions of the man were alike, all declaring that the
man wore light side-whiskers, a moustache, had on a slouch hat and a dark
cut-away coat - and as soon as they had "delivered," he ordered them to move
one, saying: "You will meet four other men down the road, but tell them that
you met me and they will let you pass."
On the following Monday evening, as Chief of Police Westbrook, of Lock
Haven, was sitting in his office, endeavoring to study up some plan whereby
the perpetrators of the robberies of the Saturday previous might be
discovered, Constable Blakeslee came to him and told him of the murder of
Isaiah and Nora Colby, which occurred in the same locality as the robberies.
The next morning two parties left Lock Haven in search of clues that might
lead to the detection of the robbers and the murders. The greatest
excitement prevailed everywhere in Clinton county. One of the men robbed on
Saturday morning, being positive that he recognized James Kline, a
weak-minded individual, as the highwayman, Kline was taken in charge by
Constable Blakeslee, and lodged in the county jail. John W. Johnson, who
lived on the Colby place with his family prior to the removal there in by
Isaiah and Nora Colbys, was the man on whom the greatest suspicion rested,
and Sheriff May and Constable Ellis Myers, of Lock Haven, found him at work
in one of his fields, near Hublersburg, and took him into custody. The
sheriff, learning that Essic Kline, a brother of James, was in Lock Haven at
that time, sent word by a swift messenger to Deputy Sheriff James Wensel to
arrest him. When the message was received, it was found that Essic had left
the city, and at that moment was on his way back to his home in the Narrows.
The deputy, accompanied by County Detective Keller, started after him, and
captured him as he was traveling along the highway, He was brought back to
Lock Haven, and arrived there at the same time that Johnson was brought in
by the sheriff.
Chiefs of Police Westbrook, of Lock Haven, and Vernes, of Renovo,
constituted another party of searchers. It was known that at least one of
the gang, who committed these robberies and the murder, was yet at large, as
the man with the revolver and side-whiskers had not yet been apprehended.
Westbrook and Vernes had gone on the track of a suspicious character who had
been seen in the neighborhood, and were led into Union County. They ran
this clue out on Sunday, and found he was not the man they were looking for.
When the sheriff was after Johnson he met ex-Sheriff Shaffer, of Centre
county, who is a cousin to Luther'' father, and who lives near Hublersburg,
who told him that a man had passed through there on Thursday prior to the
murder, and that he looked like Lute Shaffer.
On returning to Lock Haven a conference of all the officers was held, and it
was decided that the man believe to be Shaffer was the man they were after,
but inquiry among his relatives failed to show that he was in this part of
the country, they believing that he had gone to Kansas, as AL Shaffer, a
brother of Luther, a Missouri farmer, had told them he had intended doing.
The officers were all at sea, and did not know where to turn next, but when
matters looked the darkest Mrs. Swope, a sister of Shaffer, sent word to the
sheriff that she wanted to see him. Then it was that the sheriff learned
that Luther Shaffer had been there that afternoon, and after a stormy
interview with Mrs. Swope, had left. The sheriff then informed his
colleagues of what he had learned, and the first thing they did was to
search the house of one Mary Baney, who was known to have been a friend of
Luther's when he was at home before; but they discovered no trace of him
there. The officers were now satisfied they were on the right trail, as
Shaffer answered every description they had received of the highwayman, and
as having been seen in the vicinity of the Colby house on the Saturday
before the murder.
On Friday morning, August 18th, as Sheriff May was standing at the passenger
station waiting for Erie mail, his son handed him a telegram from Associate
Judge Crawford, dated at North Bend, which read as follows:
"Come on first train; Shaffer up creek."
The sheriff then looked about for somebody to go with him, and spied
Westbrook, who had just got off the train. Officer Vernes was also on the
train, and when they arrived at North bend, Westbrook got off the train and
ordered a team to be in readiness in half an hour. The sheriff and Vernes
went on to Renovo, the former to transact his business, and the latter to
change his garb to that of a woodsman, after which they joined Westbrook at
North Bend.
It was about an hour before noon when the party started up Young woman's
creek after their man, having secured the services of John Quiggle, of North
Bend, as driver and guide. They arrived at Dick Francis' camp Friday
afternoon, and learned that Shaffer had stayed there the night before and
had left that morning. Pushing forward they reached Oleona in time for
supper, and found that Shaffer was only a few hours ahead of them. Darkness
overtook them when within a mile of Germania, and at a pint were a road
crossed the one they were on, at right angles. Here they lost the trail.
They went on to Germania, however, and after making a search of the town,
changed teams, and started for Pick Miles, where they arrived about 3 o'
clock Saturday morning. It was here decided that Vernes and Westbrook
should go to Gaines, on the narrow gauge railroad, while the sheriff and
Quiggle drove to Lyman's Mills. At 11 o'clock they again met at Pike Mills
to compare notes. They had discovered where Shaffer had spent the previous
night - at a farm house about two and one half miles off the public road,
but at the point the trail was lost, and they knew not in which direction to
go. It was then decided that the party should divide, one-half to go on the
back track, and the other to visit Smith's lumber camp, and if Shaffer was
not found there this party was to go on to Coudersport. Without losing a
moment's time, it was decided that the sheriff and Quiggle should take the
back track and Westbrook and Vernes the other route.
The latter party then went on toward Smith's lumber camp, located in what is
known as Wood Hollow, on the west branch of Pine creek. Observing a man
coming down the hollow that led to the camp, the officers hailed him, and
learned that a stranger answering the description of the man they were
seeking had arrived at the camp just before dinner, and complained of being
very tired. By an arrangement with the gentleman whom they had met it was
the intention to make the capture quickly, and not give the man any chance
to fight. This was successfully accomplished, the officers getting within
ten feet of their man before they were seen by him. Shaffer was sitting on
a little rise of ground watching other men who were engaged cutting fire
wood. He was in his short sleeves, having left his coat hanging inside the
tent. He offered no resistance when Mr. Westbrook stepped up to him and
told him he was a prisoner. The irons were soon place on his wrists, and he
was taken down to where the wagon was standing, put aboard and driven to
Ansonia, a Stations on the Pine creek railroad, and that same night he was
lodged in the Lock Haven Jail.
On Friday afternoon, September 9th, 1887, the four men under arrest were
arraigned before Alderman John P. Harris, of Lock Haven, and the testimony
of the witnesses called being deemed sufficiently strong to hold them all on
the charges of robbery and murder, they were committed to jail for court.
Shaffer, however, by the advice of his counsel, waived a hearing, and stood
committed, but he was allowed to remain the room while the examination of
witnesses against the others was proceeded with. The only evidence adduced
that connected the four men jointly with the crimes was the testimony of
Kate Bartley, who swore that she prepared a supper for the four men at Kline
's house at 12 o'clock of the Friday night preceding the robberies, and that
they left together shortly afterward. This testimony, however, had since
been shown to be false, and the girl herself had admitted that it was
untrue.
At the September term of the Clinton county Court true bills were found
against Luther J. Shaffer, John W. Johnson, and James and Essic Kline,
around whom a strong net-work of circumstances had been woven, leading to a
suspicion that all four might be implicated in the murder of the Colbys.
Although all might not have been active participants in the commission of
the crime. The trial was set down for a special term to begin December 5th,
and at 2 p.m. of that day court convened. The railroad trains on the
morning of December 5th were freighted with jurors, witnesses, and others,
who poured into Lock Haven to become spectators at the trial. It was the
Mecca to which the curious journeyed. Hotels were crowded, and in the
thronged offices and reading rooms of the different hostelries no other
subject seemed to be discussed but the Colby tragedy.
At 2 p.m. Court convened, a panel of sixty jurors having been drawn. Hon.
Charles A. Mayer, president judge, and associates W. Kipp Chesnutt and James
W. Crawford occupied the bench. A great legal contest was anticipated -
District Attorney George A. Brown and T. C. Hollahan, Esqs., for the
defendant Shaffer. Just as the work was to be commenced, W. H. Clough,
Esq., counsel for Johnson and the Klines, presented a petition, asking that
the men be tried separately. The petition was granted, and Shaffer was
selected by the prosecution. The indictment was then read, charging him
with the murder of Nora Colby. The purpose in omitting the name of Isaiah
Colby was that if Shaffer should by any technicality be acquitted on the
charge of killing Nora, he could then be arraigned for the murder of Isaiah.
Shaffer was ordered to stand up while the indictment was read. He rose to
his fee; there was not a single indication of nervousness; his form was
erect, while his eyes, to those who carefully watched him, bore that
peculiar keen, searching and vengeful appearance so characteristic of them.
The question was asked: "What say you, Luther Shaffer, tot he indictment,
guilty or not guilty?" Fixing his gaze on Clerk Brown, with a smile that
seemed defiant, and in a voice as firm as that of a military commander, he
answered, "I am not guilty!"
The twelve men selected in whose hands was to rest the life of Luther
Shaffer, were as follows: Emanuel Robbins, farmer, Pine Creek township, John
Pluff, farmer, Chapman township, Frank Barnhart, laborer, Colebrook
township, Miles Caldwell, laborer, Bald Eagle township, Samuel Smith,
laborer, Woodward township, William Eyer, farmer, Beach Creek township,
Thomas Burke, laborer, Noyes township, Frank A. Heydrick, barber, Second
ward, Lock Haven, Jacob Messerly, laborer, Dunnstable township, Frederick
Amm, farmer, Green township. Charles Shoemaker, clerk, Second ward, Lock
Haven, George Iler, carpenter, Dunnstable township.
The trial of Shaffer ended on Thursday afternoon, December 8th, 1887. The
jury were out but a few moments, and returned with a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree. A new trial was asked for but refused by the
Court, and Shaffer was sentenced to be hanged for the murder of Nora Colby.
The day set apart by Governor James A. Beaver for the execution of Luther J.
Shaffer was Wednesday, April 4th, 1888. The gallows built for Nelson E.
Wade, the murderer of the McBride family, was brought from Williamsport, and
erected in the jail yard at Lock Have, and upon this structure the murderer
was executed. Previous to his death he professed religion; embraced the
Catholic faith, and was buried in the Catholic cemetery on Susquehanna
avenue, Lock Haven. The execution of Shaffer was conducted by Sheriff W. J.
Leahy. The Klines were after wards discharged by an order of the Court, and
allowed to return to their homes. Johnson was tried for being an accomplice
of Shaffer, as the threats he had made against the Colbys led people to
think he was guilty. He was, however, ably defended by his attorneys, W. H.
Clough and John B. Myers, and was acquitted.

given above, as the points were taken from a history of the Colby tragedy,
published by them at the time when everything was fresh in the minds of the
people.

Aloha Bonnie Bennett,
As you go over the list of information you were given, please look at
the attached notes. The tree line beyond the family book you now have, was
never proven and our family was added to this tree, only because of few
people thought it fit. They could not prove it did. To assume this to be true
is putting our family tree in danger of corruption, false leads and
misdirection to finding the true family herritage. Please contact me at
HiFromMaui(a)aol.com. We need to put our heads together and start where we can
prove our own family connection, not someone elses. It could be that we are
related at the end of the day, just be very careful not to add to our tree
without the proff.
Aloha, your cousin Marilyn Mead
