CONFEsSES HER GUILT.
Mrs. PleVa Admits Having Poisoned
Her Husband, MichalI PleVa,
at kenOSha,

Kenosna. Wis, June TT Special AT
the hour OF midnight, just before the be-
ginning of q Sunday morning, Mrs. Marie
Pleya, held in jail awaiting trial on the
charge of numbering her husband, Michael
Pleya, called Justice John c. Slater to
her cell and told the complete story Of
her awful crime. Hitherto she had been
stoical and Indifferent to all the proceed
lngS against her, but in the close quarters
Of cell. alone with her thoughts, she
broke down and confessed that she had
poisoned her husband with rat poison III a
mt of anger. She said she and her hus-
band had had quarrel on the Thursday
evening preceding the murder. The hus-
band had accused her of receiving i'm
proper attentions from two former board
ers, John Deveckh and Peter Trenowsk
by name, both of whom are now in jail
awaiting trial as Mrs. Pleva's accom-
plices. She had gone out driving with
them the Monday afternoon previous:
Some hot words passed during this quarrel
in which Mr.. Pleva accused his wife Of
being a woman of the town. This so en-
ragged the woman that she went to bed
and planned some method of getting
even" with him.
The next morning she got up and with
out speaking to her husband prepared
breakfast for him and the two boarderS.
In the preparation she made coffee in two
coffee pots. When these coffee pots
were placed on the table she placed
one at her husbands elbow aud
the other was handed to the boarders.
Into the one she gave her husband she
had dumped "a box of rat poison. He
drank Il cup of this poisonous connection
and was Immediately taken sick. lie died
in great agony some six hours later. She
claimed to have committed the deed III
fit of anger. and exonerates both
Deveckh and TrenoWski of all connection
with the case.
Mrs. PIeva's confession concerning the
poison cleared up mystery in the case
which would probably have proved fatal
to the prosecution. The question District
Attorney Buckmaster has been working
on ever since the murder was: Where did
the poison come from and who procured
it? The physicians who had examined
Pleva's stomach declared they had found
traces of arsenic III it and they believed
the case one of arsenical poisoning. Not
a trace could be found anywhere of any
one, even remotely. connected with the
Plevas in any manner having ever pur-
chased any arsenic. Mrs. Pleva cleared
the matter up by stating that it was rat
poison used and that John Duneke had
purchased it for her some three weeks be-
fore the crime He had got three boxes
of it and two had been used up in kill
ing rats.
1t is believed that Mrs. Pleva will soon
ask for an opportunity to plead guilty
and receive her sentence. She has two
children. a boy of s years and a girl of
6 years. For the present they are at the
jail most OF the time with her.

CYCLERS In GREAT PERIL.
Twenty Riders Dash Into a Stone
Ouarry-EVery Man Injured

sharp corner at the foot of steep hill,
twenty riders in a fiye-mic road race
of a big stone quarry, and every one of
the racers was injured and every wheel
was wrecked. That none of the riders
was killed is extraordinary.
Sixty cyclists had entered the contest,
and by the time the steep hill was
reached twenty riders were punched to-
gether. They did not slow up for the
hill, but dashed down at full speed. AS
they reached the sharp corner they at
tempted to turn into the river road. The
momentum was too great, however, and
each man lost control OF his wheel. AS
the leaders went down amid their
wrecked wheels their followers ran into
them and the widest confusion followed
n cry Of horror went up from the spec
tators on the hill, and several women
tainted Half hundred men were soon
at the scene of the accident. and the work
of eXtricating the injured was begun.
Several of the riders were dragged out
unconscious. George Peddy of Lyndhurt
was found twenty feet away, half dazed
between piles Of stones, with broken
leg. He had been among the first to
strike the obstruction.
The stone which the leaders struck
weighed fully ten tons, and on all sides of
it lay bleeding and bruised riders. Parts
of wheels and racing suits were scattered
all around.
The men were soon freed from the
wreckage and assisted to q shed near by
where the spectators bound up their
wounds Peddy was the only one seri-
ously hurt, but none escaped without
some injury, and many Of them had to
be taken home in carria ges.

race for not warning them of the dan
