Are you familiar with the documentary film that was produced a few years ago???
I believe it's available on DVD now...The guy who originally put the thing
together was here in Lincoln 5-6 years ago and offered a showing at a local
theatre...I attended, but I think that the finished product includes some
additional material.
My railfan buddy Jim Christen and I in the early 1950's rode Q branch line
trains each summer. Our trips always began with a ride on Train 93 from
Corning, MO to Villisca and an overnight stay there...I didn't become aware of
the axe murders until 20 years or so ago when the book...Morning Ran Red came
out.
I'm sure you are aware that the house where the murders were committed has been
purchased and is, or has been restored and is open for visitors. I've never
been there for a visit.

Keep us posted on your research.

Subject: [CBQ] 1912 CBQ schedules for Iowa
Hi, my name is John Van Ness and I am researching the 1912 axe murders in
Villisca, Iowa. I am theorizing the murderer could have gotten from Osceola
at 9 PM on a Sunday night to Villisca sometime in the night, did the
murders, then hopped a train--passenger or freight--for Creston, arriving by
6 AM the next day. The man I have in mind was dismissed as a suspect because
no one thought this trip could be done. He, by the way, was an itinerant
pile driver who may have been savvy about train schedules and the
particulars about hopping rides. If anyone has information that would be of
use, please let me know.
