H. O. Jeffries, editor of the Nowata Advertiser, charged with the murder of Mrs. Irene Goheen on the night of April 8, has been refused bail by the Criminal Court of Appeals of Oklahoma.

Birth: Sep. 5, 1885, Emporia, Lyon County, Kansas, USA
Death: Apr. 8, 1912, Nowata, Nowata County, Oklahoma, USA
Rene Belle (Irene) Cozine was a murder victim and the murderer was never brought to justice.
Mrs. Irene Goheen Found in Field With Head Caved In.
Nowata, Okla, April 10 - With all attendant circumstances indicating that she had been called from home at night, forcibly carried away and foully murdered, the body of Mrs. Irene Goheen, advertising solicitor for the Nowata Daily Advertiser, was discovered at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in a field about a mile and a half west of town, with her head caved in and her body badly bruised.
Mrs. Goheen was 26 years old, tall, blonde, blue-eyed and regarded as a beautiful woman. She was a good business woman, of excellent character and held in high esteem by all who knew her in this city. She came here about a month ago from Delaware, where she had seperated from her husband, who was last heard from at Pueblo, Colo.
Both the county and the city officials' are at work on the case and it is expected one or more arrests will be made in a few hours. The body was discovered by Leo Foster, a 14 year old boy, who immediately notified the authorities.
On either side of the body were found the footprints of a man, and the tracks about the scene of the crime indicate that the woman was dragged along by two men, as at every step her heels sank deep in the ground. All the circumstances indicate that the murder was malicious, as the woman was not robbed or violated.
Associated with the crime is the fact that Monday Mrs. Goheen had been a witness in the divorce suit of Dora McDaniels against Fred McDaniels of Delaware, Okla., and testified against the defendant.
Prior to the discovery of the murder, Mrs. Goheen was last seen at 11:15 o'clock Monday night at the Missouri Pacific depot, where she had driven early in the evening with Mrs. McDaniels, who boarded the train for Delaware. Her hat was found Tuesday morning in the yard of a neighbor four doors distant from her own home. Neighbors went to her house and found her little 3-year-old daughter crying, but the mother was missing.
The theory of the officers is that the woman was called from her home after returning to it Monday night, was muzzled and taken away in a buggy, carried to the field where the body was found and there murdered, and that the crime was committed by two men. This is also the belief of R. S. Cosine, her brother, who was notified and came here from Coffeyville, Kansas, to aid in investigating the case. (Her brothers were Stephen Otis, Harry Ainsworth, and Frank Kenneth, so who is the R. S. Cosine identified as her brother?)
