HISTORY OF THE CASE.
The case Of Duestrow was one of the
most remarkable ever passed upon by
the court of this state. From the begin
ming Duestrow tried to make people be-
leve he was insane and his attorneys.
Ex-Governor Charles P Johnson and
Charles T. holland, did everything in
their power to carry out that idea.
A legal inquiry made as to Duastrow's
mental responsibility resulted in his be-
ing declared perfectly sane by jury,
before whom many experts were eXem-
ined. When the trial on the charge OF
murder came up a change of venue was
taken - Union, Franklin county, where
the case was heard before Judge Hirzel.
1t resulted in a disagreement.
DuestrOw was given a second trial and
was convicted and sentenced to hang.
Several appeals were made to the state
supreme court to grant a new trial. and
when these failed, Governor Stephens
was asked to give the prisoner a respite
until the case could be carried to the
hlIt he
fused to do so.
DR.. Duestrow was a rich man. Al
though a grandute Of medicine, DR..
Duestrow never practiced, his time be-
ing spent in riotous living. His home,
at 1924 Compton avenue, was a han
some one. and his family life there would
have been happy, but for his dissolutn
habits
On the day in question, DR.. Duestrow
drove up 10 his home in sleigh with
the intention of taking his wife ard
child out riding. He was greeted affec-
tionately by his wife, but responded in
a surly manner With no excuse what
ever. he accused his wife OF keeping a
disordly house. He would listen to no
reason and finally became frenZied,
knocking her down several times. The
climax came when the doctor pulled out
a revolver and shot his wife, wounding
her so that she died, after several days
OF intense suffering. Then taking up his
3-year-old son, Louis, whom he had
played with and caressed but short
time before, he held the child az arms
length against the wall and blew its
brains out.
