· Just like in Villisca, the murders were timed with the passing of the train to mask any noises.

· One house sat here, it was a 2 story house, an old house.

· The man who lived here…his name started with an R. It was a different name. He had dark hair, dark eyes and a square face. The male murder victim was named Rollin. The description given matches the photo of him printed in the newspapers.

· They knew the man who killed them. The neighbors saw the Hudson's admit the suspect into their home on the night the murders occurred.

· Something to do with this house involves the selling of a dry goods store, it ties into the murder somehow.

· They murdered couple only lived here about a month. The Hudson's had lived in Paola just a little less than 2 months.

· The man that owned the house knew the man who lived here before. The ones that lived here moved from up North. The house was owned by Sid Aker. It is unknown rather he knew the Hudson's before they moved to Paola, however, G. W. Coe, who was the neighbor living across the street, had known Mr. Hudson for a year. Mr. Hudson had boarded with them while they lived in Centerville. The Hudson's moved from Ohio.

· There is something political involved.

· The murders occurred around 1:30 or 2:00 in the morning. He entered the house through the back. There was a wooden porch and I can see him going up the steps.

· I'm having trouble with the woman's name. I get a "B", like Betty or Rebecca.

· The man that did the murders was wild eyed and had bushy eyebrows. I get the same vibration as I got in Villisca from him. He was a traveler. He traveled back and forth a lot. He has very piercing brown eyes with a small brown pupil and a lot of white around it.

· There was a bedroom downstairs and a bedroom upstairs.

· There's something to do with a school not too far from here.

· He hopped the train. He didn't buy a ticket. He traveled like a bum. He hopped the train and went to Kansas City. The suspect was seen trying to board a train the morning at the murders.

· He stayed in town for 2 nights. He rented a room from a rooming house called Landell's or Landon's on something like that. He was here at least two nights before the murders. According to the newspaper reports, the suspect had been about town for a couple of days asking specific questions about where the Hudson's lived.

· I see somebody working for a cemetery or moving dirt. This could be road dirt but I don't know how it connects.

· There was a necklace with red beads. The woman said he took her beads and earrings.

· This was the same person as the one in Villisca. I see a type of axe but this one is sharp on both edges. One of them was hit in the back on the right side, just above the kidneys. The murder weapon was never found or identified through the victim's injuries. It was first thought that the instrument used was a coal pick and a later theory suggested a brick mason's hammer.

· The murderer jumped the rails, went to Kansas City and then caught a train and went north. He was tall, broad shouldered and barrel-chested. He had dark hair, piercing brown eyes, great big hands and walked with a limp. He's the same one I saw in Villisca.

· The murder was done at 2:00 or 2:10. I can see a clock that was in the house.

· He knew the man. They had some dealings together. This man had dealings with a business and dealings in Paola. He was associated somehow with some cattle, maybe shipping cattle.

· There's a connection with Montrose, something like that, a town up north.

· They laid brick. That's what the dirt moving was.

· He knew this man.

· Mansfield met the man in an old apartment building. They met there and talked. Some deal they were on went wrong. I don't feel like it was hired. It was for getting revenge somehow.

· I know he covered the windows, but I see some curtains being jerked off.

· The woman is upset and angry, more so than the man. She's mad about the necklace and earrings.

· I don't see anybody else with him and I hear the name Bert.

· A man ran for some political office. A man just said to me, "You're not going to tell them anymore or I'll shut you up too."

· The man and woman knew something about a man running for office here, in the court system and then would go on for Senator or a political appointment. Rollin Hudson's father was a very prominent lawyer and politician in Ohio with ties to President McKinley and Judge Day. Is it possible that they knew something about some political corruption in Ohio instead of Paola?

· I see an old time prison. They contacted a man in prison.

· The man's last name was with a "J". Johnson or Jonathan, Jackson. The first part of the name is "S". It might be "R.S." I'm seeing a political poster. He's a nice looking man, clean shaven, a suit, running for political party. Posters being put up in store windows, on light poles, on trees. Republican party, that's why they show me the car. One man said, "I'm upset and really angry about the car." Somebody used the political funds to buy a car and used it to drive back and forth to do campaigning. There was a big rall over it. One of them knew about it, the one that had a connection with Mansfield. It has to do with Paola and north. Rollin Hanson used to work at an automobile factory but had to quit because of health problems.

· It's intermingled with politics.

· Mansfield was hired to do political assassins.

· There's another place where people were killed. Sometimes he took another man with him to do the killings. He would do them with the train whistle, and then would jump the train. It's political, the Republican party is involved somehow.

· Brenda asked if the hired murders had anything to do with the Bull Moose Progressive Party. Anna is afraid to talk. The men won't talk but Anna tells me "yes". The men wanted to hush it up.

· Grey sideburns, mustache, his name on signs and in the newspapers. Anna was here for political reasons. She just showed me little purple flowers. This may be a state flower.

· I get the name of Hanson. They were in a deal that dealt with the Burlington Railroad. Look at the railroad bridge she says. We were into building railroads. Anna Hudson was seen having an argument with a man on a bridge several days before the murders. Was she trying to tell Joyce something about this confrontation?

· She was a beautiful woman. She said that she had markings but I don't know what she means by that. She had dark hair, a square face and a broad nose. She might have had Native American heritage.

· Mansfield was paid by a man with a German last name. He helps with a political party, national, Republican Party.

· Within 3 weeks you'll find an article that will have something to do with this, Villisca and another one and another one. Maybe Virginia. The one in Virginia hasn't been connected yet. Three voices were captured on tape here in conversation saying the following: "Braddock in Ohio," "I Warned of This," "I Wanna Help Her Get It." Virginia, another thing like this happened in the state of Virginia. That has to do with what we are doing here. That's another association with this. It hasn't been connected with this. It was like an entity all its own, another hired assassin. It was done the same way. The same killer. Knocked off people where trying to run the party. Harlsbourgh or something ending in bourgh. Another murder besides the one's in Illinois.

· Not Colorado. Something with Ellsworth, though. Some money came from there, some money was fed into this one.

· I get the letter "T". Treasurer, something politically wrong with the treasurer.

· That prison was Leavenworth. They went and got him. They helped him get out. Mansfield spent some time in Leavenworth prison.

· Burlington railroad, he hopped the trains, he knew how to do that.

· I pick up something with the law. I don't know if he was running from the law. He was running from the law after the murder but it has something else to do with it. I see a man with a badge, he was a big man. I don't know if he was here to check on the murders or if he was involved somehow. During this reading, we were down by the old depot. According to the newspapers a massive search for the missing murder weapon was conducted in the field across from the depot. Also, a Kansas City detective was brought in on the case.
