CHARGED WITH MURDER
WOMAN ACCUSED OF CRUELTY KILL
INC AN AGED FARMER IN 1892.
Arrested on Evidence Furnished by
Her Husband-AIIeged to Have
Been Married Nine Times.

CHICAGO, April 3.-Mrs. Ernestine Dun
key. living in the suburb of MelrOse Park,
was arrested this afternoon charged with
the murder Of Ernest Kueneth, an aged
farmer of Melrose Park. in October. 1892.
The last seen of Kueneth alive was on the
afternoon of Oct. %, 1892, the night before
the murder. The next morning he was
found dead seated in a chair in his home
with two great gashes in his head. A corr
knife and stove poker spattered with blooj
and hair lay near. The crime has been a
mystery. and not even the faintest clew to
the murderer was given until yesterday,
when a neighbor of Mrs. Dunkey Informed
the police that Herman Dunkey, the
woman's husband, had said she was guilty
of the murder.
Dunkey, through an interpreter, told As
sistant States Attorney Pearson the fol-
lowing story to-day: 'On Oct. 20, 1892, my
wife went away from our horne on the
South Side at about $50 o'clock in the
morning. She remained away all day, and
1t was long after midnight before she re-
matted with some sticky stuff. | put my
hand on her hair and my palm was stained
Her face q hru, w. anS NOD son om LIED and
there were marks of fingers on her chin and
throat. She told me she had had a terrible
HSnt WITH Il man, ana tearing or nef gar
ments she burned them in a stove. The
next day | picked up a German paper and
read of the murder. When | read aloud
she sprang from her chair with a scream:
Don't, don't read! she cried. / see him
now. L see him sitting in the chair. / see
the blood flow down his face, and 10 think
only $3.50. L thought he had much more.
But at least never again will he propose
marriage TO a woman and then break his
word
The principal evidence against the wom-
IN came from her husband. She denies
having anything to do with the murder, al
though she admitted having been away
from her home the night of the crime. She
is a large, masculine appearing woman and
is said to have had nine husbands before
she married Dunkey. She never obtained
a divorce from the husband preceding
Dunkey and is not therefore his legal wife.

After the weaving, the mattresses are stiff

layer of stones by means of which the mat
tresses are SUM into their proper place

below the surface. Many of these mats are
three hundred feet in width. and measure
more than twelve hundred feet in length.
covering areas of from four to eight acres.
Additional strength is given by a number
of wire cables and by cross-cables holding
the so-called mats to the shore. After the
mattresses have been sunk the river hanks
which had to be graded down to facilitate
the work, have to be revetted with layers
of stone rip nearly a foot deep. 10 prevent
them from washing away with the next
flood. Naturally the construction of each

said il was only a fortnight since he di-

badly received by the Cretans as reported.

tween Greece and Turkey, NJ. Hanotoux
said that while the situation on the Thes-
salian frontier was full of anxiety, 1t was
