Charles o. Kaiser in the murder of his
wife, Emma p. Kaiser, on Oct. Is, 1896, took
place before Magistrate Lenhardt this
morning Mrs. Kaiser was shot while rid
ing with her husband on a lonely road near
here. The alleged motive of the crime was
the desire to secure $4,000 insurance on
her life. Kaiser has been sentenced to
death for the murder.
Miss Dekalb, the notorious woman in
black went on the stand and told the
story of her life and the plans of the con-
spiracy. Her story was of startling
ture and most damaging to Clemmer. She
told of a plan which Clemmer and Kaiser
had agreed on for getting Mrs. Kaiser out
of the way. This was to chloroform the
woman and then set fire to the bed. This
plan, she said, was not carried out because
Kaiser lost mis- nerve. Miss Dekalb told of
several carriage rides she had with Mrs.
Kaiser, the majority of which were planned
by Clemmer. In telling of the drive on the
night Of the murder, Miss Dekalb said that
on a previous occasion Clemmer had pur-
posely injured himself so that he could col
lect the amount of insurance held by him.

ser was to be shot and slightly wounded
so that some money could be realized on
the policy held by her against accidents.
Miss Dekalb said she and Clemmer rode
in carriage some distance behind the car
riage in which were Mr. and Mrs. Kaiser.
The Kaiser carriage stopped in the road
and she and Clemmer drove up to within a
short distance OF it. Clemmer alighted and
went forward. A few moments later she
heard shots fired, and Clemmer shortly aft
erward returned and they drove back to
Norristown. They took a train for Phila-
delphia. On reaching their room in the lat
ter city, Clemmer confessed to her that he
had killed Mrs. Kaiser Clemmer told her
that Kaiser held his wife's arms while he
(Clemmer) shot her. They left Philadelphia
the next day. Miss Dekalb said she was
twenty-six years Old She met Clemmer in
Pottsville in 1894, and lived with him there
after in Philadelphia as man and wife I'M
der various names.
Upon conclusion of Miss Dekalbs testi-
mony Clemmer was committed for trial at
the March term of court. Miss Dekalb was
also committed for trial at the March term.
1t is understood that the charge against her
will be that of accessory after the fact.

Want President FarweII Back,

A Claremont dispach says: Another gen.
eral camor for the return from Europe Of j.
l.. Farwell, formerly president of the Clare
mont Savings bank, has arisen among resi-
dents OF this vicinity whose money was
placed in the bank and who have been
patiently waiting for some sort of an an
nouncement from the receivers
This has not come and the only informa-
ton concerning the situation is given by Mr..
Faulkner, of Keene, one of the receivers,
who says that the bank is in as bad condition
as a bank could possibly be, and he cannot
even make a hopeful prediction concerning
any payment to be made to the depositors.
Consequently the demand for the return of
Farwell is general almost every family in
some way has money in the bank, and many
deposhors are suffering from their inability
to get any return, by dividend or otherwise
There are some who are urging the author
tiles to take steps to send for Farwell by legal
processes, but the officials do not seem
inclined to do so, saying that it would not be
worth while to do it on account of the cost
The Claremont National bank in which the
Farwells were heavy owners has cancelled
the last few months 5000 of the 500, 900
surplus which it reported some time ago
This reduces the nominal surplus to S22, 900
on the capital of 100000.
Receiver Faux ner is being urged to take
summary measures to realize on the savings
bank assets and divide the proceeds among
the depositors.
