on it in fury. With his baby clasped
tightly to his breast, Duestrow placed
the revolver against the child's tenn
pie and sent bullet crashing throuth
the infants head, causing instant death.
Then he placed the body beside that of
the diving mother. bent low and fired
another bullet through her head and
fled from the house.
Duestrow ran TO the nearest polio
station, where he widely exclaimed:
at was an accident-an accident, tell
you. am no murderer. / did not
kill her."
These words helped later to con-
demn him when he pleaded insanity in
defense of his double crime.
Duestrow was locked up and has
been 10 all ever since. The legal fight
to save his life began at the coroner's
inquest and has continued ever since.
Despite all that money could do,
Duestrow was convicted. Last Tues
day the Supreme Court, which had pre-
viously sustained the finding of the
lower tribunal, refused to grant the pc
tition for a rehearing, and now nothing
can save the millionaire murderer's
life. The feeling in St. Louis and in
Missouri is that an appeal 10 the execu-
tive clemency would be folly.
Duestrow is confirmed cigarette smoker
During his stay in jail he has smoked about
forty cigarettes day. This bring the total
for the entire time up to about $4,000 ciga-
rettes.
Duestrows fortune hiss disappeared, and his
sister has spent much of her money in a
fruitless endeavor 10 save his life He had
dissipated a considerable portion Of his pstri-
mony before the crime, and what was left has
been spent for legal cxpense'. Money WAS
spent lavishly Physicians and alienists were
paid fabulous fees to swear that Dncstrow was
insane. To further carry cut the idea the
prisoner has pretended to be crazy. He now
denies that he is Arthur Duestrow but claims
to be General Brungingen." OF the United
States army When told that he must HIN :

FIX Governor ohnsou made a nard fight for
his millionaire clients life for the fee of SoO,-

money could not save the man who SO brntaliy
murdered his wife and child.

Ii widow aud two children. Th,
Aidow did not long survive her hu
,nnd, and then Arthur Du. strow b.
came millionaire IN his owu rgh .
His sister, Miss Huldah Duestrow, iu-
nerited the other half of the estate.
Few Young nien began life under
such brilliant prospects es did Arthur
Dlestrow. He had passed through
College before attaining his majority
and coming into his fortune. Soou
after his fathers death he married
Miss AlbertiDa Leisse, and about that
time entered the ST. Louis Medical Col
lege, from which he was graduated
with honors.
For short time Duestrow abandoned
the bibulous habits he had formed and
his friends believed that be had sowed
his wild oats and had settled down to q
respectable life A baby boy came to
he Duesfrow home and the young hus-
nand and wife were proud and happy.
But when the baby was about year
old Duestrow fell from grace. He be-
clme infatuated with Clara Allen. or
Howard, the keeper of an improper
house in St. Louis.
So public was his intimacy with this
woman that friends of his wife wonder
ed at her continued life with her hus
baud Perhaps the taby boy induced
her to condone her husbands faults, or
perhaps the loving eyes saw nothing
wrong At any rate he Duestrow fam
ilv continued to reside in the handsome
house on south Compton avenue.
When the baby boy was two years
old the climax came. About o'clock
on the afternoon of February 13, 1894
Duestrow drove up to his home in a
sleigh. His wife saw him from a win
dow and sent her maid down to see if
he wanted her to go riding with him.
Ducstrow was intoxicated, a condition
that mad become quite common, and he
insultingly replied to the maids query.
She turned and started back into The
house, when Duestrow, apparently en-
ragged, jumped from the sleigh aud
started after her. She bscame fright
eued and ran upstairs, taking refuge in
Mrs. Duestrow's room. Duestrow fol-
lowed and struck the girl.
How dare you strike that grip
exclaimed Mrs. Duestrow. ut you
want to hit some one, hit me-"
The maddened man struck her, and
she turned and ran into the hall. He
followed, beating her. 10 the hall she
turned to defend herself and pushed
him. He staggered and fell against the
wall, and almost Immediately drew a
revolver and fired The bullet took et-
iect IN the woman's side, and she sank
to the floor Then Duestrow apparent
ly realized what he had done and bent
over his wife, calling her by name and
asking her 10 look up and speak to
him.
Just then Louis, the baby, toddled
into his fathers arms and began kissing
| him.

again eprage the father, and he turned

The ground here is level and open; but
the northern section of Guanajay to
Mariel runs through a broken country
such as prevents the construction of
a continuous line of trenches and block
houses. All the commanding heights
are fortified, and the road is protected
with trenches and breastworks. Twen-
ty. thousand Spanish troops guard the
''trocha. ~ Youth's Companion.
