"The Business Mans Age
The St. Paul Dispatch says:

The st. Paul Dispatch says:
Oratory is evidently not wholly a

that the business man, who is the
conquering hero of the present era,
is not on top everywhere. But, after

great distance from the principal

is A DOUBLE MURDER.

NniwauIsoos Mystery Is solved-Gustav
scharn Confesses Killing the Woman
Found In the River, ,Strangllng Her
Child and Throwing Both Bodies Into
the Water.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 90. - Gustave
Schurtf, young man of good connec-
tions, is locked up at the central police
station, the self-confessed murderer of
the woman and child found in the Mil
waukee river near Pleasant Valley re-
sort. The denouement was rapid and
one of the most cold-blooded murders
ever known has been unearthed.
With coroner and police force who
believed that it was case of suicide,
the murderer was safe until newspaper
men took hold of the case. The bodies
were identified as those of MIS-.
Ollie King, nee Douglas, and her
5-year-old daughter. Half an hour
later the city editor of the Her
aid found Scharff and took him to
the morgue. Scharff calmly viewed
the bodies and said he knew nothing
about the manner of their death, but
advanced the opinion that the mother
had killed her child and then commit
ted suicide. He acknowledged that he
had lived with the young woman for
two years past. Scharff then went to
his home and was there arrested.
Once at work the police did well and
by o'clock IN the morning had so cor
ncred the prisoner in contradictory
statements that he broke down and
confessed to the murder. His only eX-
cuse was that he wanted to get
rid of her. Friday the murderer made
detailed statement to Chief Jansen.
He agreed to meet the mother and
child at the Northwestern depot to
take them to the worlds fair. He pur.
posely missed the train, and then to
make up for this proposed that
they visit the upper Milwau-
kee river and take boat ride
The woman was delighted and readily
agreed to this Scharf took the pair
to the river, hired boat and rowed up
to Pleasant Valley He landed near
there in some woods and the trio
passed several pleasant hours.
Finally the little girl fell asleep and
Schartf began caressing his mistress
AS he kissed her he managed to get his
hand around her throat. Then he sud.
denly shut down and with the fury OF
madman strangled her to death.
When she was dead he strangled the
Sleeping child. He bound both bodies
with ropes, attached heavy stones and
placing them in the boat rowed out tc
mid-stream and dropped them in the
water. He then rowed back and re
turned to the city.
Scharf is the nephew of Nichola,
Simon, wealthy tobacconist, anc
worked for him. He was looked upor
as his heir, and was afraid that in cast
Simon learned of his intimacy with the
woman it would hurt his chances.
