During his detention in Jail, Meyer
made the acquaintance of Ludwig
Brandt. who, like himself, was lo-ied
up on a charge of forgery. Brandt
was the son of a General in the Nor

released, Meyer resumed his practice
IN Chicago and employed Brandt as his
collector. In 1891 Brandt was insured
under the name of Gustav Maria Jo-

Story of Foul Crimes Told.

, DR.. Henry c. F. Meyer was convicted
In New York of murder in the second
degree, punishable by Imprisonment at
hard labor for life. His crime was a
long series of murders for the insur-
Iance on the lives Of the men marked
for victims. The testimony at the trial
revealed only portion of what is al
legged to he career Of crime unmatched
in the records of the Newgate calendar
and unrivalled even by the most grue-
some imaginings of Edgar Allan Poe.
The number of people said to have
been sacrificed by Meyer is not known,
but the indications are that score OF
men and women have been his victims.
Meyer is supposed to have poisoned his
first wife, his own child, an alleged
wife in Toledo; Henry Gildeman, OF
Chicago; and Ludwig Brandt. He is
also under suspicion OF having admin
istered poison to his second wife
(Gildeman's widow in Chicago; an old
woman in Chicago, and Mary Neiss,
now the wife of Carl Muller, alias
August Winners. The Winners and
Mullers were the most important di-
rect witnesses against him.

Good for BOrst.

A dispatch from Slayton says 'the
celebrated Borst case, which was
tried in district court here the past
week, was terminated yesterday, the
jury rendering verdict for Borst for
$500. Last spring Borst, who is
prominent attorney of Fulda, was ac-
cused of sending an obscene letter
through the mails to Mrs: John Hys-
lop, of the same town. On the al
lodged charge Mr.. Borst was tried in
the United States Circuit court at
Minneapolis last June and acquitted.
He then brought suit against John
Hyslop, J. M. Dickson, DR.. Rewalt,
Geo. B. Stiles and Editor Maxwell
for $4,000. charging them with con-
spring to injure his character and to
drive him out of town. During the
progress of the trial the charges
against Maxwell and Hyslop were
withdrawn" Nh. Borst's friends in
Worthington rejoice with him at the
happy termination of this suit. He
has driven his enemies into a close
corner. There never was any doubt
in the minds of the public but there
was deep-laid plot to injure Mr..
Borst, but the work was coarse and
proved boomerang to the gang of
conspirators.
