DETROIT, Mich, March pa few weeks
ago a Mrs. Johanna Zshoegner and
daughter Emma, handsome young wom-
an about twenty-five years of age, ar
rived in this city from Allegheny City on
a visit to a son, John Zshoegner. Feb
ruary % they were both taken suddenly
ill and four days later the daughter died,
but the mother recovered. The police
heard of the young woman's death and
knowing of similar cases having occurred
in the family, had the stomach removed
and analysed. Zshoegner and his wife,
upon promising to return in time for the
inquest were allowed to take the body to
Allegheny City for burial, but up to date
nothing has been heard from them. The
coroner's inquest was begun last night
and the testimony of the physician who
made the analysis showed that the stom-
ach contained large quantities of arsenic.
Anna Zshoegner, wife of John, is thirty
years of age She had three husbands
previous to Zshoegner, two of whom died
under peculiar circumstances. The motive
advanced by the authorities, who claim
that there has been a murder and an at
tempted murder, is that the young woman,
knowing that old Mrs. Zshoegner was
wealthy. administered the poison to her
and to Miss Emma, which would result in
the property being inherited by her hus-
hand.
