Mrs. Rudiger is we'll educated French
woman, twenty -four years of age. She
has rather pretty face. and is an
interesting conversationalist. 1t is
said that she was completely faS-
clnated with Mr.. Reiser. 1t is
claimed that at times he had assaulted
her in a brutal manner. Only two weeks
ago she had called on a physician to
dress fractured rib, which she said
was given her by Reiser.. She
told the physician who had injured
her and begged the doctor not to tell
her husband. Mr.. Rudiger is a mild
hammered man, and was so completely
stunned at the conduct Of his wife that
he would not talk at first. He
would neither deny nor admit that
he knew ofthe relations between Reiser
and his wife. Henry Reiser has lived
in South Omaha for about three
years. He was also Frenchman

social votary. He was an officer in the
Royal Arcanum order, aud well known.

seen at the police station and spoke
quite freely of the affair. He said
that today was the first absolute
information he had of his wife's
infidelity. She made a confession to
him, claiming that Reiser had mesmeric
powers over her, and that while in his
company she had no control over her.

of witness and admit his guilt. He
refused to do so, and l then warned him
that my wife was very much worked
up over the matter, and it would be
better tor him to do as | had requested
He fatty refused. My object was to get
his statement and then proceed to get
divorce without making the matter
public. l am positive my wife has
been true to me With this one

Reiser put in an appearance. l treated
him as brother, and invited him to my
house frequently. l have feared the
