time during the incidents accompanying
the tragedy regard him as a marvel of
impassibility. In fact, it was his entire
lack of emotion at the time of his wife's
sudden death that first aroused suspi-
ciOn.
O'Donnell and his wife and two boys
and his father formerly lived at Hud-
son. Later they lived at Glenweod, then
O'Donnell ran away with Vina LIE
Claire, was arrested on complaint of his
wife NOW dead and served term in
Jail. He had been out but a few months
when the tragedy occurred. He and his
wife seemed to be living happily togeth-
er, she working at cleaning and wash
ing and he in the Drummond stockyards
near this city. The lie Claire girl was
found near Glenwood, whittier she had
returned to live with her parents ON
farm. She is only wanted as witness
in the case. She is goOd-loOking girl
of 10 or 20. O'Donnell is about SO and
his wife was about the same age.
O'Donnell's attorney is William III.
Frawley, ex-district attorney, who prose-
cuted Mrs. Russell in the famous poison
case in which she was first convicted and
then discharged.
Eau Claire, Wis, April 25.-[Speciall
On completion of preliminary examin-
alton this morning in the case of the
state against O'Donnell, charged with
killing his wife with strychnine, Munici-
pal Judge Bartlett held O'Donnell for
trial and he was remanded to Jail. The
evidence brought out nothing that was

fanda and DR.. Gum were on the stand
this morning. Druggist Boberg, DIR. Ly-
man, who helped Gum perform the au-
topsy, and others will be called. The in
dications are that he will be held for
trial.
While in the Jail awaiting the date set
for his preliminary hearing ODonnell
has had plenty of time to review his stu
alton and go over the facts that were
brought out at the coroner's inquest.
He knew that the physicians and the
chemist found that his wife, Katherine
that Druggist Klofanda had sworn
point-blank that O'Donnell bought
strychnine at his (Alofanda's) drug store
on two occasions not long before the
womans death on the pretense that it
was to be used to kill rats; and also
that Vina LIE Claire, the young woman
with whom O'Donnell Is alleged to have
maintained improper relations, had pro-
duced letter from him in which he
told the LIE Claire girl he expected to
get rid of his wife. And yet O'Donnell
has shown no tremor of nervousness at
any time except that his hands trembled
and he moved uneasily in the chair in
his cell at the Jail when Klofanda stood
before him. shaking a forefnger at him,
looking him in the face and saying:
rats!' There is no possible chance, so
Klofanda says, for mistake on his part,
and yet O'Donnell returned Klofanda's

Companies Cannot Insure Policies to
Persons Against Theft.

Madison, Wis, April 23.-[Special.]E
Assistant Acknowledgement j. S. Erdall
has given an opinion which is of much
Importance to bankers and other ship
ance referred to him by Insurance Com
missioner w. A. Fricke. Inquiry came
to Mr.. Fricke from a prominent firm of
Milwaukee attorneys, Miller, Noyes,
Miller & VAIL, as to the legality of the
business of certain insurance companies
against theft money shipped in Wisconsin
per United States registered mail to
points within and without the state.
Their method of doing business is de-
scribed as follows: "A foreign INSURANCE
company with headquarters in New
Milwaukee fixing a certain rate per
$1,000. The bank notifies the insurance
company in New York of each shipment
and the shipment is thereby covered by
the policy. The premiums are collected
from time to time as agreed upon. The
by the New York encouragement Janu-
airy 81 last, that under the New York law
the rights of each particular corporation
depend upon, the charter of the company
and the authority granted by the COM
missioner of insurance"
The question submitted by Commits
sioner Fricke was whether or not do
nestle or foreign Insurance company
may carry on in this state the business
of insuring against loss of money by
theft. Mr.. Erdall decides that neither
foreign nor domestic insurance, compa-
MES can lawfully carry on such business
in Wisconsin, and cites the statutes and
court decisions bearing on the question.
Insurance Commissioner Fricke has re-
fused license to the Ocean Accident
and Guarantee company of London.
The company insures against bad debts
and Assistant Attorney General Erdall,
to whom the question was referred, de-
cides that there is mo law in Wisconsin
authorizing the transaction of such bust
ness, hence no license can be issued and
that without such license the business
would be unlawful and the representa-
tives Of the company liable to arrest and
